There are always traditional family dishes that we look forward to having. These might be the favorite recipes that are made on certain occasions or holidays. They might also be a favorite recipe that a certain member of the family always makes. No matter what the reason, there are certain foods that are comfort foods and they are foods that you would miss if they were not a part of your diet. By making simple substitutions, you can enjoy these family favorites and also have rapid weight loss.

The first change that you can make would be to switch from a high-fat recipe to one that is a lower fat recipe. Some examples would be using baked tortilla chips instead of the regular ones or substituting applesauce in place of oil for bakery items. Simply using these two tips can save several hundred calories per serving.

Another change that you can implement is to use a sugar-free version of a traditional favorite. There are certain sugar substitutes that can be used in baking and cooking that still retain their sweetness. There are even sugar substitutes that are specifically manufactured so that they can be used in baking in the same amount that traditional sugar is used in a recipe.

You can also switch from a recipe that uses refined sugars and white flour to a recipe that uses raw sugar or sugar substitute and whole wheat flour. This will not only cut the calories, but it will also help increase the fiber per serving.

Another change this you can use might be a little bit more drastic than the ones that have already been mentioned, but it can still be very effective. Instead of having a very sweet, rich dessert, try serving fresh fruit with a light chocolate syrup drizzled on top. This will still satisfy your sweet tooth, but it won’t have nearly the calories as a traditional dessert would.

By following these simple suggestions you can use food substitutions to help with rapid weight loss.
