1. Cut out processed sugars
Processed sugars are not only bad for you, but are empty calories! Cut these out of your diet and replace them with fruits and veggies.
2. Take the stairs
Choose the stairs instead of the elevator or ramp! Burn a few calories on your way to class.
3. No more soda
Soda has a ton of processed sugar and calories. Studies show cutting soda out of your diet completely can lead to weight loss of almost 10 pounds over time.
4. Cut out fast food
It may be delicious and convenient, but it’s loaded with saturated fats and calories. Make meals at home for a healthier alternative.
5. Reach for fruits instead of candy for your sugar fix
It’s a healthy alternative to the sweets you’re craving. Try freezing grapes or strawberries.
6. Netflix binge AT the gym
Bring your iPad to the gym with you! Burn 200 calories on the elliptical while catching up on your favorite shows. Did you know most of the equipment has a screen that lets you choose what TV station you want to watch?
7. Say goodbye to alcohol
It’s bad for your liver and loaded with calories.
8. Don’t eat after 7:30pm
Your body slows digestion after this time. Calories sit longer and lead to extra body fat.
9. Work out three days a week
Working out three days a week for as little as 30 minutes can make a noticeable difference. Instead of browsing Instagram in bed, hop on the elliptical (you can still browse Instagram while burning calories).
10. Get your friends involved!
It’s much easier and more enjoyable if you have a group of friends with the same goals as you. Make it a GNO to hit the gym or take a Zumba class.
