Are you ready to get a glimpse at a food loss program that can work wonders for you? Think about this for a minute. If we gave you a pen and pad, could you write down everything you eat throughout a week? Obviously, some of it will vary, but there are several things that are the same. It will all be explained below, so make sure you take the next few minutes to really understand how this could be your next food loss program.

Cutting Back on Soda/Pop

It doesn’t matter how you say it, but soda (or pop) can be a big contributor to whether or not you are struggling with losing weight. Some things to think about is not just how many you drink, but where. Fast food restaurants, out to lunch or dinner, at work, after exercising, and then of course at home. We could go through tons of different places that you may forget about like if you have one with your adult beverage at the local bar. Maybe a Jack & Coke?

You will notice that we aren’t really big on cutting something out completely. However, just try doing things outside the box. For instance, if you are drinking in excess of 4 sodas a day then try going through the day with just 2. Seriously, if you are a coke drinker this knocks off 280 calories 78 grams of Sugars and 100mg of Sodium. Substitute them with something healthier, but keep the rest of your routine the same.

Substitution is Key

Many people think when it’s time to lose weight, you automatically have to cut everything bad out. Unfortunately, your body doesn’t initially respond well, which of course, is why many people end up quitting their diets. It’s like telling a smoker to quit cold turkey after years of their body knowing it is going to get nicotine every day. Same goes with food, so don’t do it all at once, just in moderation.

We used soda as an example because it is a popular beverage, but the truth is you can do this with anything. Take fast food for example. Maybe you have a vice that makes you go to somewhere like McDonald’s four or five times a week. Fine, keep doing it if that makes you happy just order differently. Try going a week without getting french fries with your meal. Instead, opt for one of their $1 parfaits.

The Idea

You can do this however you want and substitute for anything. It all starts with the idea that this can work. We understand you will want to see results and in order to do so you need to try. Even if it is only one thing this week, see what happens. It doesn’t cost you anything to try considering that you already are working with your daily life anyway. You never know, not only can you lose weight doing this but it might even save you some money.
