1. Rethink drinks
You might imagine that anything that's liquid couldn't possibly contain a lot of calories. You'd be wrong. A regular 12-oz canned soft drink contains 140 calories, for example; a small milkshake, a whopping 610! So sip some substitutes: water or diet soda for regular soda, an orange (45 calories) rather than a glass of orange juice (120 calories), flavoured coffee with skim milk rather than full-milk cappuccino.
