Losing weight can be done safely and effectively by learning how to cut calories without sacrificing foods you love.  You may find it hard to believe that you can cut several hundred calories each day by making a few simple changes in your eating plan. Try a few ideas like the ones below.

• Eat a mini bagel with an orange instead of a full size bagel.
• Have 1 cup of steamed rather than fried rice with Chinese vegetables.
• Add 1 tablespoon of mustard to your sandwich in place of 1 14/ tablespoons of mayonnaise.
• Replace 3 slices of bacon with 3 slice of light and lean Canadian bacon or turkey bacon.
• Have one less light beer or 6 ounce glass of wine.
• Fix your sandwich with whole grain bread instead of a croissant.
• Switch our your flour tortilla for corn for big calorie savings.
• Skip the cheese on your hamburger.
• Eat ¾ cup of grapes instead of an 8 ounce glass of grape juice. 
• Choose a plain baked potato instead of a medium order of fries or save even more by swapping out with a side salad.
