2. Drink cold liquids when possible. When you drink something that has ice in it your body has to heat that liquid up to a boiling 98.6 degrees inside your body. And that means burning extra calories.

3. Take the stairs at work instead of the elevator. While this is not formally exercising, you burn extra calories which means more weight loss.

4. Substitute low calorie iced tea or water for soda. Drinking soda can add up in calories, try a healthier alternative.

5. Leave high calorie salad dressing off your salads. Ditto for the baco-bits.

6. Eat a few fried foods as possible as the frying process adds on extra calories. KFC recently introduced a grilled version of their chicken which has about half the calories.

7. Use calorie free sugar substitute instead of sugar in your coffee. Every little bit of sugar you cut out of your diet will help.

8. Avoid fatty breakfast foods. Eating nuts, yogurt and fruit at McDonald’s instead of the egg and bacon alternatives will help you use lose weight.

9. Don’t skip meals. Believe it or not, but if you skip meals you only get hungry and may end up over eating at your next meal.
