A Simple Few Substitutions For A Healthy Lifestyle

Countless women are trying to lose weight all the time. Whenever a wedding or event approaches it dawns on us that we need to shed a few pounds to fit in our dresses. We fail to remember that when it comes to losing weight, slow and steady wins the race.

According to heath.com, eliminating foods such as carbs is not a good option, the right thing to do is to substitute them. Here is a list of simple substitutions that can lead you a healthy lifestyle over the course of time.

1. Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is essentially a blend of eggs and oil, emulsified to a creamy texture perfect to spread on sandwiches and use as a dip. Yogurt can be used instead of mayonnaise in salads and sandwiches, and I promise that it would still taste delicious.

2. Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are normally used for coating foods for crispy results. Mix in some salt, pepper and herbs with oatmeal and use that for coating. Brush some olive oil on top and bake it for delicious, crispy snacks.

3. White flour

The major problem with white flour is that it is used in so many things from cakes to pasta to samosas. There are so many substitutes for white flour which can be used for different meals. Flour in cakes can be substituted for rice flour, almond flour and occasionally coconut flour. Wheat flour can be used for breads.

4. Cream

Cream is basically the fat that comes on top of milk. Coconut milk can be substituted in stews, soups and curries easily without inducing a strong flavor.

5. Sugar

Sugar can be you tummy’s enemy, especially paired with fats. Substitute honey for sweetness whenever you can. Adding some cinnamon or vanilla to desserts along with sugar can give extra sweetness.
