Small Changes Add Up to Big Savings

Joseph Coupal - Monday, October 10, 2011

By Heather Hawk

Tempting foods are everywhere. If I could still be healthy and live on sweets I would. But since that isn’t possible, I know the importance of healthy eating. I’ve learned from my own experience that small changes can add up to big results when it comes to my health and my body shape. There are simple changes I’ve made over the years that save me big on the calorie count.

  • Order salads with dressing and cheese on the side
  • Avoid fried foods
  • When ordering sandwiches, ask for whole grain bread
  • For any meal, ask for all sauces on the side
  • Avoid creamy soups, choose clear or broth based soups instead
  • Drink water or unsweetened tea instead of soda
