When most people are thinking of cutting back on calories, they mainly look to reduce the amount of FOOD they’re putting in their mouths. But what about liquid calories? Simple changes, like switching from cream to 2% milk in your coffee can really add up. At lunch, instead of your usual can of soda, try flavored seltzer or sparkling water. Nobody made a rule that watching your calories has to be a full-time job. Making simple, east changes in your day to day routine can reap major benefits in the long run.
