If you’re looking for a way to cut calories and increase your water intake, try some of these easy tips:
Keep a bottle of water on your desk. Many people mistake thirst for hunger, leading to excessive snacking. Instead of immediately reaching for a snack, drink some water first. Keeping a bottle of water around will also remind you to drink regularly.
Swap soda for water. Are you a soda addict? Even if you prefer diet sodas, they generally contain many additives and aren’t that great for you. Try swapping sodas for plain water (with a squeeze of lemon if you need some flavor) or for carbonated water.
Skip the milky coffee drinks. If you like to indulge in flavored lattes or mochas regularly, you could be taking in over 300 calories in just one drink. If you can’t do without your morning Joe, consider switching to simple coffee with a low-calorie sweetener.
