The 10 ingredients to lighten your meals 

 

 

Don't suddenly change your eating habits, stick to your favorite recipes, and follow these few rules. 

Learn how to replace your less healthy ingredients with more nutritious ones.  

 

1. Plain yogurt instead of cream

For a quantity 6 times more important, the natural yogurt wins at the nutritional level. It also brings a bitter taste and thanks to its 10 g of protein (for 175 ml), yogurt is a formidable appetite suppressant.  

 

Use it to make your homemade tartar sauces, your satay sauces (with peanut butter, garlic, ginger, etc.) or simply in your smoothies or as a snack.

 

2. Chicken breast instead of the thigh 

Skinless chicken breast is an ideal lean meat for weight loss.

Bet on soy sauce (do not overdo it anyway because it is very salty), or mustard, a spicy sauce, lemon juice, or citrus zest ...
