Swap
your food—Sometimes, if you stop to think about it, you can think of
substituting something healthier for something full of fat in your favourite
recipes. By doing that, you’ll be
keeping that fat from settling in your mid section and reducing that dreaded
belly fat. Here are a few examples to
get your started:
• When you make curry, use plain yogurt
instead of coconut milk which is full of fat.
You’ll get a good, creamy texture, but you won’t have all the fat.
• Replace two slices of bread with one
piece of pita bread—Folding a piece of pita bread will allow you to put more
vegetables on your sandwich. More
vegetables make it more filling, and you’ll be making a sandwich that is much
healthier.
• Replace red meat with lentils—In foods
such as lasagne, only use about half the amount of ground beef. Add red lentils to make it filling. They’re packed with protein, fat free, and
high in fibre. The flavour of red lentils
is neutral, so they’ll just absorb the flavour of your sauce and you won’t
notice the difference.
• Substitute “turkey” versions of your
favourite meat—You can have turkey ham, turkey burger, turkey hot dogs, turkey
bologna, or even turkey pepperoni. Turkey isn’t near as high in fat as other
meats. You’ll have the flavour of the
other meats without that added fat to carry around.
