Making the switch to start eating healthier foods isn't an easy transition to make. Most people want to eat healthier, but dread the prospect of letting go of their favorite dishes. It's almost like losing a good friend for some people.

It is possible to make the transition towards healthy eating and be happy about it at the same time. Try replacing some of the fattening ingredients in your favorite foods with their fat-free alternatives. This simple step is one way you can still enjoy your favorite foods and cut calories.

You may have thought you had to give up bacon, not anymore with options like turkey and vegan bacon. You can still get your bacon fix and not get all the fat from regular pork bacon.

Eggs - Eggs are in numerous recipes - from pancakes to quiches and desserts! Too many eggs isn't considered healthy for you. An alternative would be to try using egg substitute products or even egg whites instead of the egg in its entirety.

Try using whole wheat flours and pasta in place of bleached white flour. Using wheat flour in baking is another healthy alternative.

Olive oil is another suggestion to replace the use of corn oil in the diet, it can also be used in salad dressings. It has less calories and fat than other alternatives.

Chicken is a great food, as a source of dietary protein. Remember to leave the skin, it is the least healthy part of chicken.

Cocoa - Using cocoa instead of real chocolate for some dishes will be a healthier choice to make. It also gives you more control of what amount of sugar you want to place within the dish.

Honey is an alternative to using artificial sweeteners' or real sugar in recipes. Honey has antibacterial qualities and is good for your body. You will find people are less sensitive to honey than to other artificial replacements.
