If you are looking for some easy shortcuts to make for a healthier lifestyle or to make losing weight that bit easier then, check out our top 5 tips for making easy shortcuts to living a healthier life which are ideal when following the lose baby weight healthy eating and weight loss plan
- Swap Tortilla Chips for Endive Leaves. This is a rather excellent swap – if you fancy a bit of salsa or another dip such as hummus or tuna and light mayo, use a strong, sturdy salad leaf such as endive instead of tortilla chips and this will fill you up just as much. Tortilla chips have around 130 calories in just 28g, as well as 6.6g of fat – whereas 100g of endive leaves have only 17 calories and no fat.
- Swap Sour Cream for 0% Fat Greek Yoghurt – Fat-free Greek yoghurt is an excellent alternative to sour cream in things like soups or on top of curries. You could also use it to make a cucumber, mint and yoghurt dip to serve with crackers or crudités. Full fat sour cream has a huge 21g of fat and 214 calories per 100g, whereas 0% fat Greek yoghurt has 0g of fat and only 65 calories.
- Swap white rice for Quinoa . Quinoa contains high amounts of protein and is also a complex carbohydrate, meaning that eating it will keep your blood sugar stable, helping to prevent blood sugar spikes and cravings of fatty foods. Half a cup of cooked quinoa will provide you with 90 calories, compared to the 125 calories that half a cup of white rice will provide.
- When it comes to baking cakes or biscuits, making sauces or salad dressings, fruit and vegetable purees can make an excellent alternative to oil and butter. For example, try baking pumpkin puree into chocolate brownies made with pure cocoa powder or apple sauce into biscuits. 28g pumpkin puree contains 10 calories, whereas 28g butter contains 270 calories.
- Experiment with snacks – here are two tasty and healthy snacks you will love. High protein egg snack – these are also super easy to prepare the night before so they are in the fridge when you need a hit. Amazing Avocado – Avocado sprinkled with a drizzle of maple syrup and cocoa
n a rice cracker. We often eat avocados in a savoury format, but as a healthy treat, try this way for a little sweet, but healthy kick. The mono saturated fat of the avocados will conquer the craving for something high in sugar.
