What healthy alternatives have you chosen to keep a healthy diet?

@Blueberris

*”Whole grain” options Instead of White… 

*”Tortilla wraps” or “Lettuce Wraps” instead of bread 

*”Monk Fruit” instead of Sweetner or sugar 

*Cauliflower Rice instead of regular rice. 

These Are just some of the options that I have swapped out & chosen to eat Healthier…. How about you? 

@Blueberris 

Substituting:

Sugar = Monk fruit or Pyure organic sweetener 

White rice = Brown rice

Buns on sandwiches = Lettuce

Ketchup = Mustard only

Mayo = Avocado 

meat = All vegetables 2-3 times weekly

Water only

Some substitutions I'm trying lately are fruit instead of sugar, Raven's Root mocha mate instead of coffee and a soothe drawer instead of self harm where I've got healthy treats both edible and nah like dark chocolate to prevent me from randomly ordering and eating a whole birthday ice cream cake to myself when I'm a Scorpio.

Hi, Blue,

Yes, all the wheat options instead of white.

I always eat a good bit of fruit.

water

but I also eat lots of frozen entrees because it's easier and cleaner in a roach infested apartment.

Hello! I'm a personal trainer, in my experience with diets the best thing you can do is choose foods that you enjoy eating. Sounds very simple, but a lot of people start dieting by eating very bland "healthy" foods, which often leads them to quit their diet. If you are in a caloric deficit (eating less calories than usual) try adding high-protein foods to your diet, this will help you stay full for longer. Also try swapping foods that you normally eat for healthy alternatives. For example, if you really like peanut butter, perhaps try PB2 (a powder that you add water to to make peanut butter with much fewer calories and fat). Or if you enjoy burgers, look for lean beef, I normally go with 96% lean. I hope this helps 💜

I eat gluten free, low sugar, low carb.

Lots of veggies, good quality plant derived fats and proteins, and fermented foods.

Eating this way really helps manage my lifelong health conditions and chronic pain. I consider my diet like a medicine I take. (Food is medicine).

It's not easy to stick to it though, especially around holidays. When I don't honor my body's needs, then there's always a cost to pay later.

Omg you said diet

Lord have mercy

NO fast food 

Limiting sugary treats 

Eating vegetables and fruits 

Drinking not only purified water but also adding electrolytes to that water and also drinking home made fruit shakes in the morning as part of my morning routine and at night or evening. 

Exercising to give me appetite for eating healthy meals big enough to fill me up and give me energy and other benefits. 

These are some of the many things that are everyday life habits for maintaining my healthy diet.
