A Crazy-Easy Way to Cut Pounds

By Korin Miller | Cosmopolitan – Wed, 22 Feb, 2012 10:43 AM EST

Cut this to lose weight.Looking to firm up? You already know crash-dieting is bad for your bod (especially your boobs). To gradually get a super-fit bod over time, scientists now swear by a new trick that involves simple math and just a teeny bit of willpower.

Researchers from the National Institutes of Health discovered that you need to cut just 10 calories a day from your diet for every pound you want to lose over time. So, if you want to drop five pounds, cut 50 calories. That's the equivalent of leaving a small piece of cheese off of your sandwich or having a smaller glass of wine than usual-no biggie, right?

Scientists say if you stick with this plan, you'll lose the weight over three years, with most of the lbs dropping off in the first year.

Want to lose weight simply? Don't eat anything white. No salt, sugar, white rice, pasta, breads, pastry. Cut out as much salt, sugar and fats as you can in your diet. Don't put salt on anything. If it looks fattening, it is. Don't drink another soft drink, diet or otherwise. Drink water instead. Walk half an hour a day, steady. And don't wander along either, keep a brisk pace. Hold two dumb bells above your head and go up and down your stairs ten times. Once a week, increase that by two more times. You'll lose a lot of weight fast if you stick to this. The first three weeks are the hardest, but stick with it. After that it gets a lot easier, and you will be seeing results by then. Good luck and don't quit.
