You can get rid of junk food and satisfy your taste buds with healthy alternatives rich in proteins and vitamins
Sticking to a healthy diet can be difficult especially with the aromatic and mouth-watering sight of junk food at every corner. Pizzas, burgers, candies and ice-creams never cease to tempt us, but in reality, these unhealthy foods, with no nutritional value can damage our body and mind to an irreparable extent.
However, getting rid of such cravings can be a difficult task. The best way to avoid the intake of junk food is to replace them with healthier alternatives. While completely avoiding junk food can seem difficult, you can satisfy your cravings by having these healthy substitutes of your favourite junk food.
Try Roasted Sweet Potatoes Instead of French Fries
Instead of fried potatoes wedges or ‘French Fries’, try ‘Roasted Sweet Potatoes’ which are excellent anti-oxidants. Just brush them in olive oil or coconut oil to give that crunchy, crispy texture and add a pinch of salt and pepper to satisfy your taste buds.
Use Kale Chips in Place of Potato Chips
A typical bag of potato chips contains much fat and calories, never a great addition to your healthy diet. Instead of these ultra-fatty potato chips, you can use fresh kale and other vegetables to prepare healthier kale or vegetable chips.
Chew Frozen Dry Fruits Instead of Candies
Apart from providing sweetness and little satisfaction, a candy does no good to your body. Eating candies can increase the risk of diabetes and obesity. Try frozen dried fruits like apricot, raisins, dates etc. instead, which can satisfy your cravings for sweetness with natural sugars.
