It’s that time again when lots and lots of us decide to lose weight or get healthier in the new year. Here are some diet tips (and coupons) that may help!
Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers are easy and delicious! It’s a good idea to have one or two of these in your freezer just to grab when you’ve run out of fresh, healthy food. These are super tasty – and super convenient!
Cream Cheese? On a diet? Absolutely! Fat free cream cheese with a little bit of reduced sugar jam is awesome on a bagel – or even better, a caramel corn rice cake!
It’s imperative that you get enough fiber in your diet. It helps satiety (the feeling of fullness) and it helps to move fat through your body! You’d probably be amazed at how LITTLE fiber you’re getting if you aren’t focused on it. I love Fiber One dry. And for a cool idea, crush it into fine crumbs, dredge butternut squash slices (like fries) first in egg substitute, then in your fiber crumbs and bake. Yummo!
A bowl of multi grain Cheerios is a great snack with skim milk – and it helps you to up that fiber intake. Or mix dry cheerios with dry fiber one, raisins, a few peanuts and enjoy some trail mix!
Studies have also shown that getting enough dairy in your diet will help you to lose weight. This Yoplait Greek yogurt satisfies my sweet tooth. I mix a little fresh fruit and granola in it and it’s great at breakfast!
And certainly you can’t give up on all your sweets! Don’t go overboard, but enjoy a frozen treat a few times a week if you like. You’ll be much more likely to stick with your plan if you indulge occasionally!
My all-time favorite ‘go to’ snack when I want something sweet are these Fiber One 90-calorie fudge brownies. They are awesome! My trick? I dip each bite in a little bit of fat free cool whip…mmmmm!
These Dole Fruit Smoothie Shakers are a great way to get some fruit and dairy on the go!
Why is this on the list? Have you tried salsa on top of a salad or baked potato? You can have a huge serving of salsa for almost zero calories!
Trying the low-carb route? Try these Atkins frozen meals…
Cool Whip??? On a healthy eating plan? YES! Fat Free cool whip has only about 15 calories for two big tablespoons. Here’s what I do with mine: spread two tablespoons of fat free cool whip on a caramel corn rice cake. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, then add another caramel corn rice cake to make a ‘sandwich’. Freeze for about an hour. You will have a super low-cal ‘ice cream’ sandwich. It is soooo good!
