Substitution in Your Diet Plan

Dieting involves giving up the unhealthy foods that you may love. One way to make the transition more bearable is to substitute these foods with healthier alternatives. Here is a few suggestions for a low fat diet: • Egg whites can be used instead of eggs; • Fatty condiments like mayonnaise can be substituted with ketchup or mustard; • Apple sauce can be used when banking instead of the required amount of butter. For a low carb diet, use artificial sweeteners - but not in the beginning of the diet and not when you hit a weight loss plateau. Avocado and banana extract can be used instead of bananas in fruit salads and in cakes. Also, choose berries instead of fruits and lemons over oranges whenever it's possible.
