Food Choices That Make Sense!

Swapping condiment and food choices for lower calorie options can help you achieve your weight loss goals, along with shedding that unwanted weight off your hips and thighs! Who doesn’t want that?!

These different options contain fewer calories, while still leaving you feeling full and satisfied.

·         Fresh steamed spinach leaves, zucchini or spaghetti squash instead of PASTA

·         Canned crushed tomatoes with basil instead of sugar-loaded marinara sauce in a jar

·         Flavored vinegars mixed with Dijon mustard and lemon instead of salad dressings

·         Rice cakes (lightly salted) instead of bread

·         Baked tilapia instead of salmon

·         Stevia, cinnamon and vanilla extract instead of sugar

·         No-sugar added almond milk instead of soy or rice milk

·         Olive oil spray in place of heaping tablespoons of olive oil (olive oil is good in moderation  and small portions)

·         Baked butternut squash instead of potatoes--check my girl Kassie's blog for a great "mashed potato" recipe http://kasslandry37.blogspot.com/2011/02/best-mashed-potato-substituteever.html 

·         Zero fat, no-sugar added Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, cheese, heavy cream or buttermilk

·         All natural salsa instead of guacamole

·         Gluten-free soy sauce or chicken broth instead of olive oil
