Okay, so I get the whole calorie counting concept: the less calories you intake, the more pounds you drop. But I don’t believe in starving myself to achieve these goals. I may be slim, but I love food, and cutting back truly hurts my feelings, lol. Besides, you’re more likely to binge eat at the end of a diet if you starve yourself.

Here are tips to help you cut calories without cutting taste:

• In Caesar salads, drop the croutons, halve the Parmesan dressing, and say no to extra cheese.
• Use mustard packets instead of mayo on your sandwiches. Mustard packets have almost no calories; just 3 in a packet!
• Dunk your tortilla chips in salsa instead of guacamole. I would suggest organically made salsa; it tastes fresher.

Using this tips could ultimately lead to a happier, healthier you. Do you have any tips for cutting calories but keeping taste?
