Little changes can give big results

Making small and simple changes to your diet or exercise routine may help you lose weight or consume less calories. Over the long term, little changes may yield good results, if followed consistently.  Always consult a medical professional if you have an illness or are pregnant before making any significant changes to your diet and/or exercise routine.
Break into a jog
If you already jog, speed up to a sprint. These brief intervals allow you to cover more distance, burn fat and calories, without lengthening your workout. The increased impact will also help make your bones stronger.
Drop and do 10
Before you open that tub of ice cream, do 10 sit-ups or pushups. Doing something physical can put you back in touch with your body and your goals.
Trick your taste buds
Sucking on a hard mint may help stop cravings.
 
Eat a chunky salad
Chop carrots, peppers, sweet potatoes or other veggies instead of shredding or slicing. It takes more effort to munch bigger pieces; you'll do more chewing and eat less during the main course.
Post inspiration
To keep yourself on track, place quotes in strategic spots where you might need some motivation: on the fridge, TV, dashboard, or computer. A suggestion of the motivation is: "I'll take this one day at a time."
