Favorite Ways to Cut and Burn Enough Calories to See Results


I really like nuts, and thought that they were low in calories … but now I know better:

 

Step away from the nuts

 
Especially if they’re in a big bowl. The bigger the serving bowl, the more you’ll eat, Cornell University researchers say.
 
Nuts have heart-healthy fats, but they’re also high in calories: 1 handful (about 1 ounce) of oil-roasted mixed nuts has 175 calories; 3 handfuls have 525. Cut out nuts altogether and save more than 500 calories.
 
Can’t resist ’em? Eat pistachios: 2 handfuls are just 159 calories, and the shelling will slow down your munching.
 

Don’t eat in front of the TV

 
You’ll eat up to 288 calories more, according to research from the University of Massachusetts.
 
Instead, eat at the table, and trade 1 hour of TV for a casual walk. Together, that’s 527 calories burned.

 

Use smaller plates

 
Swap your 12-inch plate for a 10-inch one. You’ll eat 20 to 25% less—and save up to 500 calories.
 
You won’t feel any less full, either, researchers say.
