Time to Make Some Substitutions

It’s completely fine to love the way food tastes, but there are ways to eat the food you enjoy without clogging arteries or raising your blood pressure.

There are so many new developments these days and new recipes that can literally change your life! The air fryer is something many people will consistently swear by.

You can fry all of your favorite foods without having to bathe them in grease or even flowers for that matter. You can fry any food you can think of in a matter of minutes.

Instead of cooking your greens with pork, you can try turkey. To push it even further you can use no meat at all and rely on spices that won’t add any extra sodium. 

One of the harder things to replace for some people are sweets. We love homemade cakes, pies, cookies, and cobblers.

What makes these treats delicious is their sweetness. Desserts like parfaits, oatmeal cookies, baked peaches are great substitutes to satisfy your sweet tooth after a hearty air-fried chicken with meatless greens.

The adjustments might take some getting used to after years of eating things with high fat and sugar, but your body will thank you in the long run.
