This time I will give you some tips that I use in order to eat low-calorie products without having to buy expensive ones:
1. If you are used to eating cereal in the morning, try to prepare it with skim milk and add fruits like banana, strawberry, peach or pear. This way you will eat more fiber, less sugar and you will be more satisfied.
2. If you like sweet and high-calorie cereals, I recommend purchasing a large box of unsweetened cereal like oatmeal (Quaker), corn (Corn Flakes),or rice (Special K), then buy the small presentation of your favorite cereal and mix them; this way you will reduce the calories you eat at breakfast without sacrificing the flavor.
3. If you like sweet bread, cut each piece in half and eat one piece each time.
4. If you like cookies, choose the ones that do not have any filling and prefer the ones with fiber.
5. Change whole milk to skim milk. If you're braver switch to soy milk.
6. If you're a fan of aged cheeses like Machego, Gouda or Edam, make sure that on your weekly grocery shop you buy half of them fresh like mozarella or cottage cheese and half of the ones you like.
7. If you like your eggs scrambled, prepare them in a non-stick pan to reduce the fat, use only one per person and add vegetables like squash, peppers, onions, corn, etc. You will feel more satisfied, increase your fiber intake and will reduce fat (and they will look so tasty).
8. Change to cooking oil spray and choose non-sticking pans.
9. Take 2 glasses of plain water before eating and a cup of tea or coffee after dinner. You can use stevia to sweeten your drinks (each teaspoon of sugar has 20 calories).
10. If you like soda or flavored water, try diluting them gradually, first add 1/4 of water to your soda and increase it gradually.
See you next week!
