How To Cut 500 Calories A Day
Want to supercharge your rate of weight loss while on The Chocolate Weight Loss Diet? Lose an extra pound-per-week by cutting just 500 calories from your regular diet each day. Does 500 calories sound like a lot? You may be surprised at just how easy it is to make small changes in your daily diet to lose an additional pound before your next weigh-in... And while one pound may not sound like much, that can mean more than 50 pounds over the course of a year.
Food for thought: Here's 10 ways to cut 500 calories a day:
1. SAY, "NO!" TO SOFT DRINKS
Carbonated soda pop or soft drinks are responsible for up to 10 percent of America's total caloric intake. Each cup (8 oz.) of regular soft drink contains from 100 to 150 calories per cup. If you drink 2-3 12 oz. cans a day, you could cut 500 calories by passing on the pop.
2. SNACK EXCHANGE
Replace high calorie snack items such as, chips, candy, etc. with healthy low calorie/high fiber snacks. Fruits and vegetables contain few calories and offer plenty of fiber (that makes you feel fuller, longer), with bonus vitamins and minerals.
3. ESPRESSO STAND WITH CARE
A 16 ounce Starbucks Caffé Mocha has more calories than a cheeseburger at McDonalds! Keep in mind that you're also getting 15 grams of fat and 33 grams of sugar. Vie instead for the 16 ounce Coffee of the Week, and the calorie count drops to a measly 5 calories. Keep in mind: Standing at the espresso stand burns more calories than sitting at the espresso stand.
4. EAT SMART-SIZED PORTIONS
Read labels or check nutrition information via the Internet. Adjust your serving size according to your research. When in a restaurant, don't hesitate to order from the children's menu for smaller portions. Consider putting less on your plate or (if your served a full plate, like at a restaurant) cut your calories in half by only eating half the meal. By slowing down your eating pace, you will achieve more satiety (hunger satisfaction) while consuming less.
5. MANAGE YOUR MENU ITEMS
You can save up to 300 calories by selecting 6 ounces of broiled fish as your main dish instead of a run o' the mill 6 ounce burger. By making smart main dish selections, you can easily drop 500 calories over the course of a day, or more, with little effort. If you have options, simply opt for the healthier menu item - you can eat a little more - increasing your satisfaction, while cutting extra calories.
6. SMART FOOD PREPARATION
When cooking at home, simply prepare your food in ways that will save you the extra calories. By grilling your chicken instead of frying it, you not only save unwanted calories, you also reduce the fat content. Choose the baked potato over fries, consider using herbal flavorings in the kitchen, like Ms. Dash, and a non-fat cooking spray.
7. DON'T LET THE SALAD FOOL YOU
How many times have I said, "Oh, I'll just have a salad," then come back to my table with salad-bar-filled plate piled high with all the wrong ingredients. (It's no wonder I had a weight problem.) I think the salad bar is a great tool for weight loss, but you must make smart selections. Look for low fat ingredients and top it off with low fat or fat-free dressing or vinaigrettes. Save 500 calories by simply having your dressing on the side, then, dip your fork in the dressing before stabbing the salad.
8. CHOCOLATE BEFORE YOUR MEAL!
Eat an ounce of healthy dark chocolate (65% - or more - cacao content, without added fat, fillers, caffeine or processed sugars) about 15 minutes prior to eating as an appetite suppressant, resulting in less ravenous consumption, yielding fewer calories eaten throughout the course of the meal.
9. DON'T EAT IN FRONT OF THE TV
Avoid eating unconsciously. Strive to eat consciously, when you are dedicated to doing little else but eat. Don't eat while watching TV, keyboarding on the computer, listening to music or driving. This will keep you mindful of your portion sizes, keeping them from going out-of-whack due to distraction(s).
10. SLEEP MORE, EAT LESS
If you sleep ten hours a night, you not only burn 450 calories sleeping, it will naturally reduce your natural cortisol levels. This decreases your appetite (resulting in less food eaten in the morning) and increases carbohydrate burning (leading to less fat retention). Too little sleep can promote bingeing and hunger.

Think back to the last time you were on a diet... Remember everyone watching what you ate? The grapefruits, pre-packaged (obviously labeled) frozen (or suspended animation) TV dinners, homemade diet soup(s), powdered drink mixes, etc… You just knew those people were pointing, talking about you behind your back, saying, "Oh, look! She's on another diet, and this time..." blah, blah, blah...
But now that you're on the Chocolate Weight Loss Diet - what will they think when they see you eating chocolate? They'd never guess you could possibly be on a diet. Nonetheless, if you follow the simple rules, your excess pounds will continue to drop.
Nobody makes fun of a weight loser eating chocolate, although they may become jealous and ask: "How did you do it?" because they, too, would like to eat chocolate, lose weight and be healthy.
There is certainly no negative diet stigma related to those who embrace the - Chocolate Weight Loss Diet - in fact, it is the-diet that an overweight America has been craving, err... waiting for.
