Swap fattening foods for lighter fare
You don’t have to make big changes to your diet to see noticeable results.
The American Dietetic Association suggests these small ways to trim those calories:
* Sweeten your favorite coffee with some fat-free milk and a splash of sugar-free syrup.
* Pull the skin off poultry, and trim away fat on beef, pork and chicken.
* Indulge in a small dish of ice cream, but select low-calorie, slow-churned varieties instead of higher-fat choices.
* Skip the chips; instead snack on raw veggies with salsa or fat-free ranch dressing.
