Easy Calorie Cuts

FACT: To lose one pound of body fat you must burn 3500cal.
SOLUTION: By simply cutting out 500 empty calories per day and nothing else...you will lose 1lb/week! I've given you examples of how EASY it is to save those EXTRA calories in your daily habits, without feeling like you are 'ON a DIET' in the list below.
If you want to kick it into high gear and aim for a healthy 2 lbs/week fat loss just add a daily workout or cardio session intense enough to burn about 500cal.
With these two elements, your energy will be up, your sleep will be sound and your Fall fashions will look & feel their best!
