45 Fantastic Ways to Burn Calories

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Tip 16: Enjoy Snacks Under 100 Calories Apiece


It’s been proven that eating several small meals throughout the day can keep your metabolism in overdrive. But how do you eat so much and still manage to come in under your daily calorie allotment? By eating smart snacks under 100 calories.
 
There are many low-calorie fruits and vegetables you can munch on between meals. Cucumber, carrot sticks, celery, and strawberries will satisfy your cravings and deliver healthy vitamins for very few calories. Sugar-free Jell-o cups weigh in at a skinny 10 calories each. Craving cheese? Try low-fat cheese wedges for 35 calories apiece, or part-skim mozzarella sticks for 80 calories.
 
Avoid the 100 calorie packs of cookies and chips you see at the grocery store. They are good for occasional cravings, but they don’t really give you enough food to really satisfy your hunger. Plus, you’d get more nutrients by eating a sweet, crunchy apple or a low-fat yogurt cup.

Tip 17: Savor Desserts Under 200 Calories Each

 
 

Have a sweet tooth? Don’t let your love of desserts sabotage your diet plan! There are plenty of lower calorie alternatives that will satisfy your cravings without straining your skinny jeans.
 
If you’re dying for some ice cream, try a Weight Watchers frozen dessert. They typically clock in under 200 calories each. Or try one of the half-cup servings of real ice cream now available in many grocery stores. The tiny serving size gives you full flavor for a fraction of the calories.
 
For 200 calories, you can have two 100-calorie snack cakes; plenty of sugar-free pudding with whipped topping; or even a slice of fat-free cheesecake. Try chopping up some reduced-calorie pound cake and topping it with strawberries and sugar-free Cool Whip. You’ll have a virtuous strawberry shortcake that tastes like the real thing.
 
While some dieters avoid desserts like the plague, there’s no reason why you can’t indulge as long as you make smart substitutions and control your portion sizes.

Tip 18: Fill Up on Low-Glycemic Fruits

 

Along with vegetables, fruit is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. But all fruits are not created equal. Some are very high in sugar, which can lead to blood glucose spikes and crashes, excessive hunger, and persistent sugar cravings.
 
If you’re limiting your sugar intake, and especially if you have a health condition like diabetes, it’s a good idea to eat mostly low-glycemic fruits. These fruits don’t contain as much sugar, so they don’t stimulate the body to produce as much insulin – a chemical that, among other things, makes you hungrier.
 
In general, berries and melon are quite low in sugar when compared to other fruits. Papayas, lemons, limes, peaches, and nectarines have a low to medium sugar content. Apples also have moderate sugar, but their fiber content makes them a healthy choice. Avoid figs, bananas, mangos, and tangerines. They tend to be very high in sugar.
