Diet Swaps

Diet swaps is a MUST in the diet world because we are replacing a food or drink that we like with a healthier version that we will also like, or learn to like. Maybe its a swap from frying a food to grilling a food, we are still having that food but the best version of it in health terms.

These diet swaps do not have to be permanent, but obviously the more you put into something the more you will get out. The idea is to be aware of your options so you can create a balance between the good and the bad diet choices.

It is up to you to take note of what you are eating and find out if there is a healthier option. Here are some great diet swaps that will really make a difference to your life!
