1. Decrease the portion of meat on your plate and increase that of vegetables. Your meal will be colorful, full of flavor and much more nutritious.

2. Reduce the amount of fat by a third and the sugar by half. Most recipes will keep their taste and texture despite these changes. To get your taste buds used to, take it gradually.

Substitute ingredients

Many ingredients can be replaced with healthier ones. These changes have the advantage of bringing more nutrients to your meals (vitamins, fiber, etc.) and making them more supporting.

3. In your desserts, substitute 1 cup of applesauce, mashed bananas or dates for the cup of sugar. If you choose maple syrup, consider reducing the amount of other liquids.

4. Substitute the same amount of mashed banana or avocado for 1 cup of butter or oil. Consider reducing the cooking time of your desserts by at least 25%. Otherwise, choose plain Greek yogurt.

5. Reduce the salt by mixing it with other spices, for example garlic, lemon juice or herbs.

Change your habits

By going gradually, you will be able to change your lifestyle and make healthier choices every day. Do a little more every day, especially when you shop for groceries.

6. Prefer lean ground beef, turkey or chicken meat, or tofu over fatty meats. Legumes are also a tasty option.

7. Choose brown pasta and rice over white. They contain more whole grains and fiber, which makes them more supporting.
