We give you seven tips<\/strong> to cut calories without the slightest effort<\/strong> that’ll help you stay healthy<\/a> without even realising. <\/strong>Dieting will seem like the easiest thing you’ve ever done. \n\n\n\n

1. Switch to “zero” fizzy drinks<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By switching the classic fizzy drink by a sugar-free<\/strong> one, you’ll be able to avoid ingesting up to 100 calories<\/strong>, which means you’ll be able to enjoy <\/strong>these tasty drinks without having to cut your diet loose.<\/strong> It’s an effortless change<\/strong>, and in most cases you won’t even be able to notice the difference<\/strong> flavour-wise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Take the skin off your roasted chicken<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Chicken is often known for its high caloric<\/strong> and protein content.<\/strong> The actual skin of it is what contains a considerable amount of fats. In other words, if you peel away the chicken’s skin you’ll be avoiding quite some calories<\/strong>, meaning you’ll be a step closer<\/strong> to your final objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Switch to sweeteners<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One spoon of sugar in your morning coffee can already pose an extra 20 calories.<\/strong> However, if we change refined sugars to sweeteners like stevia<\/strong> we will not consume any additional unnecessary calories, allowing us to enjoy this heavenly moment without having a bad conscience. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don’t distract yourself while eating<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"watching<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Studies<\/a> have proven that if you are distracted<\/strong> while having a meal, you tend to eat more<\/strong> than you actually need. As you are not focused on the food, your brain doesn’t “feel”<\/strong> like you’ve eaten that much, which leads to an increased calorie intake<\/strong>. In other words, keep in mind turning off your TV or computer and leaving your favourite book for later.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Bread is your enemy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Removing bread intake from our diet will not only mean a reduced calorie intake<\/strong>, but also a reduced refined carbohydrates intake, which is a win win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Refined carbohydrates do not fill you up as much<\/strong> as complex carbohydrates<\/strong>, which can be found in wholegrain bread, wholegrain pasta, <\/strong>etc. Besides, refined carbohydrates have a very high glycemic charge<\/strong>, which can affect your endocrine system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Chew slower<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Chewing\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you chew on your food in a more calmed manner<\/strong> you will feel satiated sooner.<\/strong> This is a plus point, as it means you will ingest a smaller amount of food<\/strong>. In addition, if you chew on your food for a prolonged period, you’ll be helping your digestive system<\/strong>, reducing stomach reflux and derived problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Use your oven instead of your frier <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By using your oven instead of your frying pan, you will avoid ingesting huge amounts of oil,<\/strong> as the food won’t absorb oil as it would otherwise. This can make an enormous difference: every gram of oil we consume equals nine calories<\/strong>. If you do the math, you’ll realise that’s equivalent to a lot <\/strong>of calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
