Healthy Food Choices and Alternatives
It is actually very easy to eat a healthy diet without a lot of sacrifice. What makes it tough is convenience. Healthy food is not nearly as accessible as it’s not so healthy counterpart. When was the last time that you were at a restaurant and couldn’t get white rice because they only had brown rice? This is not a very likely scenario. Knowing this; to eat healthy sometimes you need to plan in advance. The good news is that big businesses and corporations are starting to come around and offer some healthy choices. Now with that said, this is how you determine a healthy choice from a not so healthy choice.

CARBOHYDRATES:
Not all carbs are bad or fattening. The reason that they have gotten such a bad wrap is the choice of carb and portion sizes that people generally choose. Limit the amount of over processed, refined or ‘white’ carbs. Here is a list of some healthy alternatives:

GOOD:

Kamut pasta (found in the organic section of the grocery store)

Brown rice or basmati rice

Whole organic large flake oats (see my recipes)

Stone ground tortillas with salsa or crispy minis

Stevia, organic cane sugar or turbanato sugar

Real maple syrup

Triscuits, or whole grain crisp bread, spelt based baked crackers

BAD:

White Pasta

White Rice

Processed Oatmeal

Chips

Sugar

Sugary Syrup

Regular cracker
