Simple Ways to Cut Calories

Diet: Sip Smartly

Diet: Sip Smartly

Do you start your day with a fancy coffee drink like a Starbucks Mocha Latte (330 calories for a grande with 2-percent milk and whip) or a McDonald’s McCafe Frappe Caramel (450 calories for a small)? To save those potential inches around your waist, opt for a simple cup of joe with skim milk (20 calories with 1 tablespoon skim milk and 1 teaspoon sugar) or green tea with lemon (zero calories), instead. Not only will you eliminate tons of calories, fat and sugar from your diet, you’ll still get your caffeine fix and antioxidant boost!
