RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Five successful ways to cut cal & burn fat that literally take 60sec or less.

1) Combine your favorite juice (half of your usual amount) with water. You can cut up to 85 calories per glass.

2) Burn calories while you talk on the phone: Do the laundry (approx 68cal), set the table (85cal), or water plants (102cal).

3) Read nutrition facts on labels! That candy bar/bottle of juice appears to contain 220 calories, but a closer look may reveal that it provides two or more servings which more than doubles those cal.

4) Pack a lunch. Eating out more than 5 times a week may make you eat more (300+ cal a day) than if you dine out less frequently.

5) When dining out, if you must eat bread, use olive oil to dip your bread in place of butter. It's healthier and may also help you eat less.
