Ha: this is how you scrape calories without sacrificing taste

I. Love. Food. And come on man, life is too short to punish yourself. But at a certain point, almost no pants fit anymore and then I thought: well, that sucks. Instead of short-term dieting (crash diet), I chose for once the long term (change of lifestyle).

And after a year and a half of ‘staying at weight’ (after losing fourteen kilos), I can say: I understand the formula. Especially in the first weeks, I noticed that I simply had to change years of habits. Have you gained a bit during the corona times and think: well, that can come off again? This is how you cut calories without sacrificing taste.

Hooooi Greek yogurt, bye sour cream
A dollop of unsweetened Greek looks just... EXACTLY like sour cream (seriously, I bet you won't even notice the difference). Delicious on tacos, in soup, whatever you feel like. 

Hi broth, bye olive oil
A splash of vegetable broth works just as well for frying onions and garlic or vegetables that you would normally fry in oil, and that for a fraction of the calories and fat. Ha. Lifehack. Also super tasty. 

Hi oatmeal, bye granola
Granola does contain fiber, but also a lot of sugar and fat. Preferably put oatmeal on the table in the morning. Oatmeal is packed with fiber, so you'll be full until lunch. 

Hi mustard, bye mayo
Mustard is underrated in terms of fat. It's the perfect flavor enhancer to add some kick to, for example, a sandwich or burger, and the cool thing about mustard is: it contains practically no calories. 

Hi cinnamon, bye sugar
I feel you: we all need sweetness in this life. But trust me: cinnamon will become your best friend for your oatmeal, in baked goods, and shakes. 

Hi homemade banana ice cream, bye ice cream
You can easily make your own ‘ice cream’ by literally blending a few frozen bananas. In a bowl, you can top it with grated coconut, berries, almonds, raw cacao beans: your party. Super delicious. I say: go for it.
