25 Ways to Lose 10 Pounds

Follow one of our daily diet tips each day, and by this time next year, you'll be 10 pounds lighter!

1. Skip the smear of cream cheese (50 calories per tablespoon) or butter (100 calories) on a plain bagel and try a hot, flavored bagel, like cinnamon-raisin or salt -- delicious naked.

2. Forego regular bottled dressing (2 tablespoons, 135 to 155 calories) for an equal portion of fat-free dressing (30 to 50 calories).

3. Resist that 2-ounce glazed doughnut (230 calories) and pop an English muffin in the toaster (135).

4. Swap an ounce of regular tortilla chips with 1/4 cup guacamole (242 calories), for the same amount of fat-free tortilla chips and salsa (130).

5. Instead of 20 regular-size French fries (274 calories), have a baked potato (7 ounces, 145 calories).

6. Rather than a cup of canned cream of chicken soup (116 calories), sip chicken bouillon (13).

7. Instead of a regular pork or beef hot dog (142 to 180 calories), grill a fat-free frank (40).

8. Pass up a chocolate bar (1.4 ounces, 210 calories) and soothe your sweet tooth with 10 regular-size jelly beans, 4 to 5 pieces of hard candy or 10 Life Savers (100 to 110 calories).

9. Instead of canned creamed corn (186 calories per cup), eat corn on the cob (90 calories).

10. Remove the skin from a chicken breast after cooking and save 100 calories.

11. If you want bacon with your eggs, rather than 4 regular strips (145 calories), have one slice of Canadian (43 calories, and as filling).

12. When making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, skimp on the peanut butter: 2 tablespoons equal 190 calories; 1 tablespoon, 95.

13. Hold the regular mayo in tuna, chicken and pasta salads and use 2 tablespoons light mayo (80 to 90 calories versus 200).

14. Make a slice of pie more innocent by leaving the bottom crust (and 100 calories) on your plate.

15. If pie is your weakness, pass up the pecan (430 calories per slice) and choose fruit or pumpkin (240 to 300).

16. Keep the premium ice cream (1/2 cup, 178 calories) in the freezer and lick a frozen fruit or juice bar (50 to 90 calories).

17. When you brown or saute, skip the tablespoon of oil (120 calories) and use nonstick cookware with a spritz of cooking spray.

18. Replace regular soda (8 ounces, 100 calories) with diet soda, seltzer or water.

19. Instead of topping ice cream or frozen yogurt with crumbled cookies, crushed chocolate candy or hot fudge, top with 2 tablespoons of fresh berries (a 10-calorie extra, compared to 102 to 125).

20. When ordering shrimp, pass up the fried (146 calories for 8) and choose boiled (44 calories).

21. On a fast-food stop, say no to a large order of fries (355 calories) and order a small one (235 calories).

22. Instead of an 8-ounce container of low-fat, fruit-flavored yogurt (230 calories), choose nonfat plain or nonfat aspartame-sweetened (90 to 110).

23. At the movies, instead of chocolate-covered peanuts (15 equal 195 calories), have 20 chocolate-covered raisins (91 calories).

24. Rather than order tropical drinks like daiquiris, pina coladas or margaritas, make them "virgin" -- you'll get the refreshing fruity flavor without alcohol's calories (1 1/2 ounces of alcohol has about 100).

25. Forget the salted peanuts (328 calories for 2 ounces) and grab 20 thin-twist pretzels.
