The skinny on weighty matters

     

Adults tend to gain as much as 2 pounds a year as they get older.  If you eat just 100 fewer calories per day and add some excerise, you can easily avoid piling on the pounds. 

Start with these easyt 100-calorie cutouts:

  • Dunk chips in salsa, but skip the cheese or guacamole
  • Eat only half the bagel or switch to "minis"
  • Eat the filling from a piece of pie but leave the crust
  • Eat only the muccin top
  • Use one capful of salad dressing rather than pouring it on
  • Choose a 12-ounce can of soda instead of a 20-ounce bottle
  • Give the four chocolate kisses you were going to eat to your hubby
  • Leave 10 French Fries on your plate
  • Remove four pieces fo pepperoni from your slice of pizza
  • Ditch the top piece of bread from your sandwich
