Summary: Now, you have finally decided to start changing your dietary lifestyle as you have found out by experience and by getting relevant information that some foods while they taste heavenly assist in helping your waistline to sag well beyond what you can manage.
While most of the foods we grew up with were super-tasting foods, they have been fingered as the culprits in our weight woes. Since most of us grew up not knowing a host of other food alternatives, we believed that substitutes are not as available as they actually are.
Below are a couple of substitutes that will still give you awesome taste when incorporated in your feeding routines or rituals, whichever one works for you:
Whole wheat flour for White flour: Whole wheat offers another dimension of nutrients. When you replace your white flour with whole wheat flour which basically wheat with the outer grain included, you get more fiber which is beneficial in growing strong, fat-less bodies and lower the risk of heart-related diseases and diabetes.
Skim Milk (evaporated) for Cream: while this will have a little bit more sugar than cream, its drastic drop in fat content is well worth the switch.
Brown rice for White rice: Brown rice still has the bran intact which means more fiber while white rice’s major nutrients have been washed off.
Whole wheat bread for White bread: As stated with the flour, whole grains beat their white counterparts hands-down! Incorporate it into your diet and feel fuller for longer, and with more nutrients packed in each morsel or bite.
Two egg whites for One full egg: an egg yolk contains half the daily cholesterol needs for the average adult. While the yolks pack vitamins A, E, D and K, they also bring the risk of gaining unwanted fat.
Low-fat yogurt for Sour cream: As its name imply, this yogurt has little fat in comparison to sour cream.
Chicken or turkey without the skin for Chicken or turkey with the skin: the skin contains most of the fat composition of chicken or turkey. Removing them will aid your fitness goals.
Fresh beans for canned beans: the fresh beans are more natural and are packed with more fiber and proteins in comparison with its counterparts.
As far as this list goes, the possibilities are endless. This post is to help you understand that no matter the fatty food you are stuck with, there are alternatives that will keep you healthier.
