1- Be aware of the ingredients in your condiments. Many of them contain corn syrups and artificial flavors. I often buy organic versions not because they are labeled “organic” but because they exclude corn syrups and unnatural ingredients.
2- And on that note, not everything has to be organic nor should you buy foods simply because they are branded “organic.” Be sure to read through the ingredients if you are avoiding unnatural ingredients like corn syrup, modified food starches, etc. and base your purchasing decisions on that.
3- Add ground flax seed to your meals. They disappear well in meatballs, meat loaves, and anything “breaded” with brown rice crumbs (which I use instead of bread crumbs).
4- When making pasta dishes that call for bacon or pancetta, substitute diced pork chops instead.
5- Substitute honey for syrup.
6- Substitute yogurt for sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream.
7- Add some fresh avocado slices or a side of black beans to healthify a simple dish.
8- Add sautéed spinach, red peppers, or zucchini to pasta dishes to make them healthier.
9- If you are a griller, buy a grilling basket. It’s easy to throw in some sliced peppers, onions, asparagus, or zucchini to healthify your meal.
10- Always eat a healthy portion of veggies to fill you up first before going for the meats and carbs.
11- Don’t use too many veggies or ingredients similar in color. Mix it up. Your meal will not just be more colorful but more variable in nutrition and flavor.
