Are you tired of being overweight? Is losing weight your new resolution? Well here are tips on how to cut unnecessary calories and they will help you in losing unnecessary weight. The food swaps are magical and will make your dream to be valid.
Here are five healthy food swaps that can cut calories and increase weight loss.
1. Eat an apple a day. Instead of feasting on crackers, trail mix, or “low-calorie” munchies that can add up and jeopardize weight loss efforts when we’re not looking, place a bowl of sliced apples by your computer and munch on those. You will still satisfy the crunch craving yet save big on sodium and calories. Plus, you get your daily serving of fruit.

2. Add fish to your weekly meal plan.
For a healthy protein alternative, fish should have a regular spot at your dinner table. For example a four-ounce filet of halibut can save you about 70 calories and 11 grams of fat compared to a similar cut of beef.

3. Soup is good food.
Soup is the epitome of comfort foods and a mainstay for dieters, but many cream-based kinds of soups can drown you in fat. By changing to a broth-based soup, such as a chicken vegetable instead of a cream of broccoli, you can save 105 calories and savor just 4 grams of fat per serving. Make this change once a week and cut out 5,460 calories a year, or roughly one and a half pounds.

4. Dump the diet soda.
Drinking calories, especially in the form of sweetened beverages, is displacing otherwise nutrient-dense foods
Even though they have no sugar or calories diet sodas are not a good alternative. Some studies have found the artificial sweeteners can trigger insulin in the same way as sugar, leading to weight gain. There are also concerns about the long term health effects of these sweeteners.
An effective and delicious alternative to “chemicals in a can” is a glass of seltzer water flavored with lemon, fresh berries, cucumbers, or mint.
