The ancient spice known as "red gold"
So, you want to reduce you caloric intake, but don't want to give up the foods you love? Well, this might not be entirely possible, but you can minimize the impact of cutting calories with a few simple tweaks to your diet. Fat and carbohydrates sometimes are irresistible, but you don't need to completely eliminate them from your diet to reduce your calories. And, of course, you don't have to go hungry either!
Extreme weight loss can actually be dangerous, but this gallery is not about swapping a steak for a slice of lettuce. It's about small changes that you can fit into your daily diet. Click through to find out more.
Eat the whole fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. You need to squeeze a lot more fruit to make a glass of juice, meaning more calories. Plus, by eating the whole fruit you'll get all the fiber as well!
Swapping whole milk for skim milk will do the trick when it comes to reducing calories.
Opt for a tomato-based sauce instead of a cream-based sauce.
A simple trick is to use more whites than yolks. Yolks are higher in calories.
Forget the maple syrup. All you need is a bit of fresh fruit for all the flavor and sweetness.
Fresh fruit is always a better alternative, but if you really want the canned stuff, opt for those in fruit juice and not in syrup.
This is a simple and effective way to reduce calories when you cook. Use cooking spray instead of oil, butter, or other fat spread.
Ice-cream and sorbets are delicious, but so are frozen grapes!
Opt for tuna in water instead of any oil. This will make a big difference in calories.
Red meat is very high in calories. Give chicken burgers a chance. You might like them!
Corn tortillas usually have less calories than flour tortillas.
Instead of two slices of regular bread, make your sandwich using wholemeal pita.
Or just make an open sandwich. That's one slice of bread you won't eat.
Light mayo has less calories than regular mayo. No surprise there, right?
Swap pork and beef for turkey. These can be equally delicious at a fraction of the calories.
Swap meat for veggies. A beef lasagna is higher in calories than a spinach one, for instance.
While drinking soda is not the healthiest thing to do, if you do so occasionally, swap your regular one for a diet version.
Fruit juice can be high in calories, so this is a way to still have a tasty drink, but with a lot less calories.
When choosing a chicken filler, always go with the grilled, skinless version.
Yes, it tastes great with butter, but you can also eat it plain. It will save you around 65 calories (assuming you usually use around two teaspoons).
Bagels come in different sizes. Going one size smaller than the one you usually eat will do the trick.
Simple, right? By just reducing the size of your portions a bit, it will add up in the end, and you will surely consume a lot less calories.
Cottage cheese or fat-free cheese are good options for cheese lovers.
Salad dressings can be very high in calories. Try some balsamic vinegar for example. You'll get all the taste and virtually none of the calories.
Chunky steak fries usually absorb less oil than thin ones, so if you really want fries, this is the best option.
If a recipe calls for sweetened applesauce, use unsweetened anyway. You probably won't notice the difference, and you'll cut some calories.
Light beer is a good option if you want to cut calories.
