5 Healthy FOOD SWAPS to Lose Weight // Eat This Not That SNACKS

[@juliezoutendam5338]

I LOVE these "eat these/not that" videos. They're so informative and helpful!! I can't remember if I've seen it in the past, but I would love a great protein bar swap. It feels like all the protein bars on the market (that actually taste good) are comparable to a candy bar in terms of fat and calories....but have only like 10g of protein. A "cleaner" tortilla chip that I absolutely LOVE is from the brand Late July Snacks Chia Quinoa chips. They're SOOOOOO good! I get them at Sprouts and Kroger (which I know is a regional grocery store). Thanks for keeping great content!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

I really need to do protein bars next, they are easily the most confusing out there. Late July are great chips for sure, big fan.

[@Sada-R3]

I love these swap videos, rather than saying NO and recommending something not similar it gives me something that is what I am craving but in a healthier means.

[@roguetaco5487]

I've been baby stepping my household into healthier snack options. One small step for chips was buying on the "lightly salted" kind from the big brands. Obviously it still have a lot of those different oils but I was really focused on the sodium intact. A few months later and even my picky husband won't each regular chips anymore because he says they are "too salty" haha

[@LoveSweatFitness]

that's a great step for sure! build it up, no need to do it all at once, always a set up for failure IMO.

[@beachbumis]

I am trying to cut down on my sugar intake but I don't want to replace sugar with chemical sweeteners. The Killer Ice Cream bars are sweetened with Erythritol.

[@leneleewest723]

I am SO much there too 🎋

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Totally hear you. It’s nearly impossible to find “perfect”, so depends on your personal needs. Erythritol isn’t my fave, but it is natural and safe. That said, yes can cause digestive issues for some.

[@neoroj]

I think we are more worried about the newly discovered side effects of erythritol. The hypercoagulation of blood and disruption of the gut microbiome. Sorry, as a working food scientist i needed to be the Debbie Downer!xxx

[@TheAliciaTyler]

@@LoveSweatFitnessHi Katie. Did you say 26 grams per day or less of sugar? Thanks!

[@ADG247]

Same. I just go for agave if I really need some sweet in a yogurt. I worked two years with a nutritionist and she always said don’t do sweeteners for your guts.

[@haileybuller6135]

Simple Mills chocolate chip cookies are an amazing swap as well. 7g of sugar and that sugar is coconut sugar. Serving size is actually 4. (: they have these at some Walmart and Natural Grocers.

[@beccab2522]

Ty for this video! Sunflower oil causes inflammation. I suffer from inflammation. Clean healthy foods, along with exercise are crucial.

[@2broom]

An AMAZING chip swap is natural endurance plant protein chips I got them at Sam's and they are absolutely amazing and nacho chip flavor and it has 10g protein per serving!!

[@edenvalleyhealing]

Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil chips are my favorite.😊

[@LoveSweatFitness]

So good!

[@samanthalynnn]

I love this video my hardest thing is to not come back for the bad snacks. Like you said it’s addictive. Definitely gonna buy the healthier options.

[@Lilyanna_Foxtrot]

Boulder chips! With avocado oil! You saved me, i am trying to cut out my potato chip cravings. And slowly eating more "crunchy" vegetables with healthy dip.

[@robino941]

Great swaps! I would also be interested in swaps for brownies, gummy candies, chocolate bars, crackers, and puddings. 😃

[@LoveSweatFitness]

oh my gosh yes, some of these would be challenging, but im up for it!

[@mothermakeup7481]

For the granola, my fav replacement is called Keto Granola in the bday cake flavor. It’s all nuts and seeds and coconut flakes and omg it’s amazing over yogurt!!!

[@holafishingtonpancakes4785]

Hey! I love this video but I have a question. Are these suggestions more catered to the keto diet?? I noticed a lot of them had fat and I'm not keto so I dont know if I should be eating them all that much. Thanks so much!!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Thanks! No, definitely not keto focused.

[@bintatherese]

I’d love more swap videos! Specifically healthier meat options, like something better than your regular breakfast sausage. Or just healthier protein options in general :)

[@LoveSweatFitness]

ooh i like that idea, definitely have some for it!

[@Chasing.therain]

Love these videos, next... i know it's all a vegetable..but potatoes. Which potato is best or worst? Chocolate. Pre-packaged soups. Noodles. Tortillas. Pancake syrup. Cereal. Best and worst meats.

[@teresasweeney3901]

I love your videos... REAL foods! Thank you!

[@larabrisco4031]

Hi Katie. I would love to see a video of healthy options for road trips. Snacks but also when there’s only fast food options. Thanks! 😊

[@LoveSweatFitness]

love this idea, yes! that can be very tricky when on the go.

[@valerietucker6471]

Very informative thank you for posting this. Are you able to tell us where you bought these things? Also added sugars could you specify on that? Does that mean that they add extra sugar on top of what’s in there? I’m sorry I’m unclear on that.🌸

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Mostly purchased at an Albertsons. Added sugar is listed on all labels as such “added sugar”

[@cristalrodriguez7517]

I would really like to see a video on better alternatives for pastas, rice, protein bars etc.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

oh yess I have tons of great alternatives for those, love it

[@noradummer1654]

Just found you love all the great information will definitely be trying some of your food swaps which kind or does it Not matter do you prefer Greek Yogurt? I have Never eaten it 😮😊

[@PinkJG619]

It’s amazing how food tastes when you start eating healthy. The AG1 greens tastes good to slightly sweet and I had someone try it who eats junk a lot, they gagged and said nooo not sweet at all!!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Right?! Your taste buds make a major shift...for the better IMO!

[@nestfulloflove]

I buy my family most of these swaps and they are kid and parent approved. Simple Mills a great brand for cleaner/healthier swaps. Taste buds do change. I cannot handle artificial sweet flavors anymore. Great video!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Totally agree! Taste buds completely change, it's pretty crazy to think back. Glad you're loving them as well!

[@almalexiel]

It's really cool to see all these other products that exist that can replace other snacks. I'm not a big snack person but boy when I need to eat between meals, I need something right now and having something quick easy to eat is great. (I don't prep cause it doesn't happen often.) My only complaint is that it's so hard to find these outside the US, I'm in Canada and I go to Europe often but I barely ever see anything that actually has the quality of a real good snack like the ones that can be found in the US. On another note, it's great to have a review of food that's closer to how I taste! I usually find stuff to be too sweet or salty and so I bet her tastes are much closer to mine just based on not numbing your tastebuds with super packed calories/spices/salt/etc.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

That’s so interesting to hear! I feel like in general Europe has less processed foods than us, but definitely seeing lots of good new options here. You can still take the same principles and look at the labels of what you do have 🤍

[@beckyesperanza9793]

I love this kind of videos because of them I can proudly say am aware of the ingredients and being able to switch for healthier options, I been putting cereal on my yogurt as a crunchy topping ( Catalina Crunch) brand is really good I was surprise of th taste and my family gave it a try and they loved it, good to have when you need a little extra something, something. I used to be a sugar person like after a meal I needed something sugar but since I did the sugar detox with your challenge that you had a few years ago, I can now tell when things are very sugary and I just don't like it anymore. Thank you for making this videos they help all of us.

[@paulinepotts9976]

Love your videos. My granddaughter has a peanut and tree nut allergy so my daughter tells me about some of the snacks she likes. One item she was able to get a good substitute for is teddy graham’s. I now only buy Kodiak cake version of teddy graham’s. They have a cinnamon and chocolate version. There pancake/ waffle mix is really good too.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Kodiak makes some great stuff!

[@karinwtfont]

That’s the granola I have been eating for several months and it’s so good! I also like that it isn’t super hard like most granolas, it’s easier on my mouth and digestion. 👍🏻

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Yes! Love it, great choice.

[@tarafallon8183]

Yes please! I needed this video. My downfall is watching tv bc when I watch tv I need to snack on something. I would love for you to do a video on what to look for in a good protein bar. Protein bars are so full of sugar and I don’t know what’s a good one.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

"mindless snacking" yep! been there for sure. Protein bars are 100% going to be an upcoming video, oh my gosh...so many are full of sugar and other ick.

[@tarafallon8183]

[@jillwade4586]

Swaps for candy items: like m&m's, sour gummy worms, etc, and healthier options for snacks for children!

[@donnabuckner2689]

Hi! I'm new to your videos. Thank you for the snack comparisons. What do you recommend for a bread swap?

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Welcome! For regular bread I really like brands such as Dave's Killer Bread. For a gluten free/grain free alternative (which I prefer), I love AWG Bakery the most.

[@mistyweber931]

Mayo..what would be a good swap ? I like making chick pea salad but, i need a good swap on mayo. I'm so glad i came across your KZbin

[@denastanley2255]

Look up vegan mayo. Used nuts and beans. Really good.

Thank you for these videos very informative! Would love to learn why you stay away from soy letchin and those certain bad oils? Maybe you can give an explanation on why these common found ingredients in junk snacks are bad! Because I don’t know! :) Tysm!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Definitely! Main reason to avoid them would be because they can be very inflammatory in our bodies. This inflammation can impact all parts of our body and health.

[@ericagordon8891]

How do you do this on a budget ?

[@angelicpastrana]

These kinds of videos are very appreciated! I’m not much of a crunchy person, although I also like the cheddar wisps! I much prefer cake and chocolate candies to just let melt lol. Not sure if you have any better option cake or non-crunchy snack options to recommend.

I was going to be proud of myself and say I don't have any of these unhealthy snacks in my apartment...until you got to the Granola. Lol!!! I have that literal Granola right now.

[@eunicelopez8460]

I know! I don't know what to sub with...need to go back to store to see what they'll have to substitute my granola with...I use the quaker oats brand but ran out and purchased another brand that I don't like because it's too sweet ...either way both brands are probably both loaded with sugar! Scared to go to kitchen and look, lol

[@beaunov5]

Where can I buy those swap choices? I am not familiar with those brands… is there particular supermarket in the east coast? Thank you

[@LoveSweatFitness]

I actually got all of the healthy swaps at Alberstons! You should be able to find a similar brand store or even from the same company on east coast, it's one of the most common ones on the west coast.

[@huntergreene7306]

Sprouts has a lot of these too!

[@jenniferlehman7218]

I loved this video! I have 3 kids ranging in ages 2 to 11 years and I want to swap more of my their snacks with the healthier option. I’ve been paying close attention to ingredients the last few months and it is so interesting how bad some of these foods are that I thought were “healthy” and ok to eat. Also, I’m with you on the Chips Ahoy, I never really liked those either. My kids love Oreo’s so I’m on the hunt for a good swap for that. 💕

[@andchrjakeva]

Simply mills has an awesome healthier alternative to “Oreos”

Me too! Welcome 🤗

[@mariefrench916]

[@susanb7594]

I think on products that list multiple oils it’s not that they are using all of them, but the company wants the flexibility to go to different suppliers and get the best pricing. One year it may be canola oil and at a future time soybean oil may be more cost competitive.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

That may be, but I prefer to know exactly what I’m putting in my body 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@danabrajevic4913]

Where do you buy these good snacks?

[@LoveSweatFitness]

I bought all of these at Albertsons, same store I got the other snacks from!

[@ravenmarshall5526]

Siete Chips all the way. Yum!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

SO good, love em

[@SherryFaith]

It's not always affordable to buy healthier options so if you have money then yes, it's a non issue to splurge on the healthier options. I dont WANT to eat unhealthy but sometimes the store brand stuff is all i can afford. Otherwise I'd buy fresh produce every day and healthy snacks every time. Its just expensive to live in 2023 period.

[@huntergreene7306]

I am with you. However I've been getting some INSANE deals recently from Sprouts and even Whole Foods. It does require looking at the weekly ads to see what's on sale or looking for "specials" but it's so worth it and it's even less expensive than fast food or typically less expensive brands

[@huntergreene7306]

Just takes a tiny bit of work to actually see what they are selling at extreme discounts

[@LoveSweatFitness]

I totally get the tendency to feel like it’s more expensive, but I’d encourage you to check out my Trader Joe’s haul as an example of how often it’s not the case. Even these swaps were only slightly more or not at all. It does take a bit more work to sort through it, but once you get the brands that are both, it’s a lot easier 🤍

[@LoveSweatFitness]

There are “foods” that offer zero nutritional value and are infact bad for our bodies. That’s not my opinion, it’s scientifically true. As I said in the video, many don’t like the stigma of that, which I get, but the reality remains the same.
