Five doesn’t seem like a huge number when it comes to throwing down a Lincoln to pay for lunch or applying the 5-second rule (we know you do it), but when it comes to losing weight, dropping 5 pounds can seem monumental.

However, like all goals with perspective and a plan, shedding the weight becomes totally attainable. Think of it this way: If you cut 200 calories each day through diet or exercise, you’ll be on track to lose a fiver in 3 months. Want to speed things up? Eliminate 500 calories from your daily intake to lose roughly 5 pounds in a month.

Now that you know the trick, read on for five simple lifestyle modifications that will help you shave hundreds of calories from your diet and reach your goal.
