Well this weeks Fun Challenge is yet again inspired by Dr.Oz, whom I have become very fond of him and his show. He is very genuine and I love how he makes every person he comes into contact with make them feel like they are the only person in the room. That is what everyone's doctor should do, listen to you and what your concerns are and I just love how he listens with a sympathetic ear.
So, in case you missed it: (haha, a doctor Oz quote)

I love healthy substitutes. Although I don't really advocate the silken tofu that Dr.Oz suggests, however those other substitutes are great ideas!!
I am definitely going to try the avocado and yogurt and the mashed banana.
Here are some other subs that I use all the time:
If you use Replace with
1. Mayo Greek Yogurt-Plain ONLY
2. Butter Apple Sauce
3. Sugar Agave or Stevia
4. Sugar Coconut Palm Sugar Dr.Oz on best new Sugar alternative that is Natural
5. Oil (when baking) Apple Sauce-in all my recipes for cookies, muffins, etc...whenever it asks for butter or oil I sub in apple sauce. But now I might do half apple sauce, half mashed banana or I might try the pureed pumpkin.....genius idea!!
6. Sour Cream Greek Yogurt
Each day that you substitute a unhealthy ingredient for a healthy one, it can add up to big weight loss results and even reduce your chance for heart disease or diabetes or high cholesterol and the list goes on. And this doesn't count out you thin people out there.......if you are thin but eat these bad foods way too ofter, your heart or your veins could be beginning to clot. It all starts with eating healthy and subbing out the bad and in with the good. You can turn your unhealthy body into a healthy one, at any age.
Tell me what are you going to substitute your unhealthy eats with this week? Are you up for this challenge?
Let's do it together, share with everyone what you are subbing?
Until next time,
