More than 120 million Americans, or 64.5% of the adult population, are overweight, and almost 59 million, or 31%, are obese.
The America On the Move message is simple: move more and eat less by making 2 small daily changes...
- Take 2000 more steps (about 1 mile)
- Eat 100 fewer calories (about a pat of butter).
Just as you are making small increases in your physical activity, to successfully manage your weight, it's important to make small decreases in the total amount of calories you eat each day.
100 fewer calories a day
The plan for eating less is just as simple as the plan for moving more. Simply cut 100 calories from your daily eating pattern — every day. Your body won't even notice and you won’t feel hungry.
Want to know how to cut back on calories without dieting? America On the Move shows you how to eat 100 fewer calories a day by making simple changes at mealtime, with snacks and desserts, and in beverages too. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to decrease calories without feeling deprived.
