Let’s quickly go over a few of these very simplistic food swaps that you can start making immediately to take your progress and move it one giant leap forward.

 

Eat Yams Rather Than Potatoes

The very first simple switch to make is to eat yams rather than going in for some white potatoes.  Potatoes tend to rank in fairly high on the glycemic index scale, meaning they will produce a large blood sugar response followed by a crash. Since one of the primary goals while on a fat loss diet is to control your insulin response, yams prove to be far better.

 

Have Greek Yogurt Rather Than Fruit Yogurt

The second change to make is to eat Greek yogurt rather than fruit flavored yogurt.  Greek yogurt is much higher in total protein content while being lower in sugar, two things that are extremely helpful while on a fat loss diet plan.

 

Eat Salmon Rather Than Beef

 

 

Looking at the protein intake side of things, go with salmon rather than beef.  While beef is a good source of iron (so it’s okay to eat in your diet from time to time), salmon is going to provide you with the essential fats your body needs to stay healthy.

 

Eat Almond Butter Rather Than Commercial Peanut Butter

Opt for natural peanut butter or better yet, almond butter. This works great on anything that you would put peanut butter on and will have a higher overall fat to carb ratio.

 

Eat Real Fruit Rather Than Drinking Fruit Juice

Finally, the last quick change that you should make for faster overall diet success is to eat real fruit rather than drinking fruit juice.

 

So there you have the main things to start doing right now to take your diet and maximize it.  Small changes really will yield big results when you make enough of them over time.
