Skip the fad diets! If you want to lose weight the right way, the proper diet and exercise while making sure your body gets everything it needs to keep you satisfied and energetic won't only make you look great, but you'll feel great too!

 

Try replacing meat with mushrooms  

85 percent lean ground beef, pan browned equals 218 calories as opposed to one cup chopped white button mushrooms that equals 21 calories.

Substitute rice with chopped or shredded veggies

one cup cooked rice is 242 calories as opposed to one cup of chopped zucchini equals twenty-one calories.

Swap burger buns for lettuce wrappers.

One hamburger bun equals 160 calories as opposed to four large outer romaine leaves equals 20 calories.

Add more foods to your diet instead of subtracting them.

Healthy things like deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas won’t hurt you.

 

Down some water before a meal and you won't feel so hungry.

Drinking a glass of water before a meal helps you not be so hungry while you’re actually eating.

 

Tune In and tone up.

Dancing to the music when you tune into your favorite music show, or practicing some stress-relieving cardio boxing when your least favorite reality contestant is on camera is the perfect way to burn some calories.
