Top 15 Healthy Food Substitutes
Most of us have misunderstood the word 'dieting'. It is not about depriving yourself of food. Dieting doesn't mean 'starving'. It is more about consuming healthy food and staying away from unhealthy food. So, there is a better way of dieting. How? Well, if you find healthier alternatives, your job is done. If you crave a type of food which is harmful, simply find other food alternatives. This will make dieting easier and practically possible too.
Foods That Cause An Upset Tummy
If taste on your tongue matters to you more, these food alternatives will help you as they don't ruin the taste. In the long run, you can also reach your weight loss targets when you embrace these alternatives. Dieting will never be a boring task for you. In fact, you will be more consistent when your food is interesting and healthy too.
Instead of sugar, use honey
If possible, you can gradually eliminate sugar and replace it with honey. Honey is one of the healthy food substitutes and is also a natural sweetening agent.
Use soya oil instead of other oils
Almost all of your recipes need oil. Why use unhealthy options when you have healthier options? The main problem with most of the oils is saturated fat content. Try soya oil which is comparatively better than coconut oil or even mustard oil.
Use vinegar instead of your salad dressings
Your salads are healthy; no doubt about it. What about those dressings? Are they not giving you unnecessary calories which are hard to burn? Try vinegar this time.
Use whole grain instead of refined carbohydrates
If you are using bread, switch to brown bread. If you are a rice eater, try brown rice. Unprocessed carbohydrates are good for your health as your body works hard to digest them. Processed carbohydrates might taste good but they are not as healthy.
Use carob powder instead of chocolate
The number of calories in an ounce of carob powder is around 50 calories whereas cocoa powder has almost 100 calories. Which is better? Also, carob requires less sugar which means you can consume less sugar when you use it in your preparations. Though chocolate has many other benefits, too much of it can be harmful and addictive too.
Eat fish instead of grilled meat
If you can't resist your temptation for non-vegetarian food, consume fish and reduce your intake of grilled meat. You can try natural protein sources if grilled meat is your main source for proteins. Choose different food alternatives and substitutes for a healthy life.
Eat fruits instead of desserts
Fruits are the best food substitutes. If you have the addiction of eating something sweet as soon as you finish your meal, then try something different this time. Why eat sweets and ice creams? Try a fruit instead and see how you can quench your cravings in a healthy way.
Fat free milk instead of creamy milk
Creamy milk is rich in calories. Use fat free milk, especially if you are dieting. This way, try several food alternatives and substitutes.
Eat egg whites instead of yolks
If you love eggs, try consuming only egg white instead eating the whole egg. Yes, it makes a difference in the long run.
Instead of using cream, try coconut milk
Coconut milk can be a better option. If you have the habit of using rich cream in your recipes, think twice about the amount of calories you are ingesting. Use small amounts of coconut milk to get the same taste and fewer calories.
Peanuts and almonds instead of protein bars
Protein bars contain lots of sugar. A natural alternative would be peanuts and almonds. Grab a handful of these nuts whenever you wish to eat your protein bar.
Use yogurt instead of mayonnaise
Your salad can be tasty even without mayonnaise. Wondering how? Well, try yogurt and see. The problem with Mayonnaise is its calories. Your salads are healthy but not with mayonnaise.
Salads instead of other snacks
Though salads are boring, they are the best way to fill yourself in your snacking times.
Instead of sodas, try lemon water to quench your thirst
When you are thirsty, drinking colas can be a bad thing in the long run. It is better to drink water or lemon juice.
Fruits instead of sweets
Indians consume a lot of sweets thanks to the millions of varieties that are available. How about eating a fruit whenever you feel like eating sweets? This will help you satisfy your sweet cravings in a healthy way.
