To lose or manage weight, we need to use more calories than we consume. In other words, we need to create a calorie deficit, and every calorie that we manage to save helps us create that deficit. Approximately one pound can be lost in a week with a daily deficit of 500 calories a day.
Here are 10 easy methods that can be implemented into your daily routine that will help cut your calorie intake.
1. Eating home cooked meals is a proven way to help cut calorie intake
Home cooked meals can help you to cut calorie intake.
