Skip the Empty Calories

If you are trying to lose 5, 10 or even 20 pounds, you can lose this weight quick just by skipping the empty calories. What is an empty calories, it is usually a food or beverage item that has lots of calories but very little nutritional content.

Here are some tips.

For instance, one of the most infamous empty calorie products is soda. Soda is known to have over 100 calories per serving. When you look at soda, you realize that soda is just sugar and water. Most people have enough sugar from other foods and don’t need more sugar especially at such a high expense of calories.
Other food items that are extremely high in calories, but have low nutritional value is fast foods. You probably can do without French fries and many giant hamburgers. Some fast food items can have lots of fat, sugar and little vitamins and minerals which the body needs.

Snack foods are another area where you can skip the empty calories, why bother eating 300 calorie donuts when you can enjoy lots of fresh fruits and vegetable. If you want to lose weight, skip the empty calories and instead enjoy many fresh fruits and vegetables.
