1. Make healthy recipe swaps.

Juicy Faux Fried Chicken
Women often think of healthy eating in negative terms: I shouldn’t eat this or I *definitely* can’t eat that. The truth is that you can enjoy many of the same foods by swapping out traditional recipes for those that use whole or minimally processed ingredients. Dig into healthy comfort food alternatives like Juicy Faux Fried Chicken and Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce.

2. Hydrate the healthy way.


Beverages are a big-time weight loss trap for many women. Refined sweeteners add empty calories, while artificial sweeteners alter the metabolism and lead to weight gain. Swap out sodas, processed teas, café drinks, and sports drinks for water or alternatives like the Skinny Iced Chai Latte or our Lemon Ginger Detox Drink.

3. Volume up the veggies.

One of the simplest tricks to lose weight is to add food to your menu. We’re talking veggies. Vegetables, when enjoyed in healthy recipes, nourish the body with nutrients, like fiber, that support weight loss. Broccoli and Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Balsamic Roasted Carrots are delish additions to your menu.

4. Portion down.
