I also eat greek yogurt. I buy plain and sweeten it with a bit of honey. I also buy frozen berries and pop a handful in and by the time eat that as an afternoon snack at work the berries have thawed and sweetened the yogurt.

I'm doing weight watchers. I switched from flour to corn tortillas and save 1 point per tortilla there.

Salsa is free on weight watchers. And just low in calories in general. I use salsa on my eggs in the morning instead of cheese.

I like this post great idea I think substitution is a wonderful idea

Here are some of mine

1. miracle whip instead of mayo it has half the fat and calories that mayo doe and I like this taste but for those of you that dont like there is a mayo with olive oil that is a good option as well

2 diet coke or green tea rather than regular soda I know this might not be the best option but I cant stress enough how bad regular soda is it has alot of sugar and calories and alot of high frutose corn syrup which messes up you hunger hormones

3. instead of a candy bar or a cookie I reach for high fiber bar like special K fiber or the one fiber one makes I can indulge my sweet craving but it has nutrional value

4 I went from getting the generic wheat bread from the store to natures own double fiber wheat it has my fiber in it and has less calories and a great source for whole grains

4 I went from ground beef to ground turkey Turkey is a lean meat and has less saturated fat than beef does and a good source of protien

The aspartame in diet soda is an appetite stimulant too. It messes with your body to an unbelievable extent. It is made with methanol, aka wood alchol. It breaks down to formic acid and formaldehyde at 86F degrees. It is physically addictive. Calling it "diet" is FALSE advertising. If you must drink soda, get a good one made with pure cane sugar or at least Pepsi Throwback that is made with regular sugar.
I drank "diet" soda for more than 22 years. I quit and then I lost weight.

what if you drink diet soda with splenda. I feel like diet soda is the only vice I have left but I don't want to make it harder to lose weight.

Splenda is ok...as long as you like drinking bleach. To make Splenda they take sugar, which has 6 molecules, remove 3 of them and replace them with chlorine. Splenda is NOT calorie free, the chlorine is supposed to allow it to "fool" your body and pass thru unprocessed. Does it work?? How long have you been drinking it? How much weight have you lost? It also stimulates appetite. Do some research. Read the horror stories. It is NOT diet or safe.

OK when I posted about the diet coke I mentioned that it wasnt the best option I put it there becuase there are ppl who have a hard time giving up soda and I was trying to offer an alternative I drink water mostly but I do have a diet coke once a day but dont tell ppl they can t lose weight and drink diet coke but I have 110lbs gone that begs to differ My point is unless you grow a garden which not everyone is able to do nothings perfect but there are better choices When I posted I didnt mean to start a debate but I had to get this said

I use the ground turkey breakfast sausage and the ground turkey Italian sausage...can't tell the difference.

I eat a fiber bar instead of cookies and always have one in my purse to replace a drive thru meal when on the road.

Whole wheat speg. and macaroni

seltzer w/juice (sprtzer) instead of soda
sun crystals -- pure sugar cane /stevia
cooked oatmeal w/choc chips... instead of the instant

also changed to whole grain breads and whole wheat pasta

I also eat a fiberone bar for a snack instead of candy bar
sometimes i eat fiberone cereal w/o milk as my snack.... more fiber

One diet coke per day will give you your MDR of formaldehyde.

We've substituted Whole Wheat bread for the processed white.

When I get cravings for something sweet, I really do try to tackle it with fruit first.

Whole weat tortilla wraps for the original.

I add a little of lemon and lime juice to my Club Soda instead of drinking regular or diet soda.

Wow! I never would have thought of flavoring seltzer water! What a great idea!! Exactly why I posted this... I knew everyone would have some great ideas!! Thanks everyone
