How to Substitute High Sugar Food With Healthy Foods

Instructions

1

Substitute candy and chocolate with sweet, fresh fruit dipped in sugar-free sweetener. Fruit has natural sugars that will help satisfy a sweet craving while helping you maintain healthy eating habits. Sugar-free sweeteners will enhance the fruit's flavor, making it a more satisfying substitution.

2

Drink water instead of sugary sodas. The addition of lemon or lime juice will give the water an appealing taste and help suppress appetite.

3

Eat a bowl of oatmeal with chopped fresh fruit instead of sugary breakfast cereal. Oatmeal is high in fiber and will help you feel full for longer throughout the day. Some chopped fruit will sweeten the dish and raise your insulin levels, providing your body with higher levels of energy.

4

Have a serving of frozen low-fat yogurt in lieu of ice cream for dessert. Frozen yogurt will satisfy the craving for a frosty sweet treat while keeping your sugar consumption down.

5

Enjoy 1 cup of fresh, chopped veggies with low-fat salad dressing instead of a fast-food meal. Vegetables are high in fiber and take your body longer to digest, making you feel full quickly. Some low-fat salad dressing will accentuate the veggies' natural flavors and make the meal more enjoyable.
