From carb free pasta, to fruity yoghurts, brown rice and porridge oats – it really is this simple! These delicious swaps will help you de-bloat and look slimmer in a flash! Perfect for the New Year and when everyone is trying to be good, even if it’s just a little bit!
Swap pasta for some root veg, such as squash, to save plenty of calories! All you need to do is thinly slice, or julienne, the squash, then sauté for a few minutes until soft.
Rather than reaching for the crisp packets, opt for a much-lower-cal option – popcorn! Look for oil-free microwave popcorn or brands that are air-popped or popped in oils such as olive or canola.
Go for low-sugar fruits like apples, pears and berries rather than tropical treats like melon or pineapple.
Almonds are high in various nutrients, as well as being a great source of good-for-you fat. Snacking on these, rather than sugary or salty treats, will fill you up more and boost your vitamin intake, too.
When it comes to yoghurt, go natural! Even fruit-flavoured yoghurts are packed with sugar, so go natural to save those cals.
Raid the dairy aisle! Most low fat yoghurt and cheeses are not pumped with sweeteners like low-fat carb products so stock up on these.
Buy plain frozen fish and prawns as they are ideal for light meals with lots of green vegetables – plus they keep for a long time.
If you can, try and buy fresh ready meals like Innocent vegetable pots rather than frozen pre-packaged meals that can be high in fat.
