TDC Clean Eating Substitutes (1)
10 Healthy Alternatives to Processed Foods Healthy Wisdom from Amber The majority of us are not going to eat clean 100% of the time. We are going to have many meals and snacks in our lifetime, so we must be realistic about what healthy alternatives we are going to need to stay on track, yet still be “normal” and enjoy life to the fullest. This includes options for chips, crackers, breads, pastas, and soda.
One of my favorite principles in my lifestyle program, The Healthy Edge, is the concept of 80/20. If you focus on 80% of your food and lifestyle choices being healthy, you can live 20% choosing foods that are not necessarily clean or whole. This guide will give you 10 great substitutes I use and share with my clients to ease them into healthy living without feeling deprived.
You can receive more information on my nutrition and lifestyle program, The Healthy Edge, at www.getthehealthyedge.com. I commend you for your commitment to healthier living and I have amazing and inspiring health coaches available to chat with you for free if you need some support and accountability to make your goals happen.
