HOW TO LOSE 10 POUNDS WITHOUT DIETING



Getting results with your nutrition and losing weight can come down to making very small changes that make a big impact over the course of weeks, months, and even a year. It takes 3,500 calories as a surplus or deficit to make a one pound change in your weight. If you cut out 100 calories a day for an entire year, that would equate to you losing 10 pounds!

100 cal/day X 365 days/year = 36,500 cal/year divided by 3,500 cal/lb = 10 lbs.

100 calories is what is found in a single small cookie, small french fries, cup of juice, 100 calorie snack pack, extra tablespoon of peanut butter, 2 slices of cheese, etc. Losing weight doesn't always have to include a strict diet, it simply could just be about making better choices and a greater awareness of how many calories you eat a day. Todays world is all about "Biggie" sizing everything, heck even the average size of a dinner plate is bigger than it used to be. I bet if people went back to using 10" dinner plates, over the course of a year they would lose several pounds without even thinking about it.

WANT TO GET IN THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE IN JUST 90 DAYS?

400-500 CALORIE MEALS

Dividing your meals up into equal calories is a great way to kick start your metabolic rate and get your body burning fat. Right now I'm doing the INSANITY workout and I am taking in 3,000 cal/day by eating 500 calorie meals 5 times a day, and then having an early morning (5am) snack before I eat breakfast and then a Greek Yogurt 1 hour before bed. You can scale the calories down to either 300 or 400 calories per meal to fit your caloric needs by using my 'Food Choice Guide'.
