I haven't felt like I've accomplished enough to warrant a full post about it.
My victory is realizing that small changes can make a big difference.
One of my biggest problems was my love of butter. I could easily consume 300 calories a day in just butter! I did a whole post about it here!
I decided when I went shopping a couple of week ago to buy a container of
Now, I know it's not the perfect solution. I honestly feel that butter is more natural ingredient-wise and I wish I could continue to use it, but it's not feasible to me.
2 tsp of butter is 70 calories
2 tsp of pretend butter is 30 calories.
That's a huge savings in calories for me each day.
Let me say this about it though....I CAN believe it's not butter, but it gives me the buffer I like between dry toast and my poached egg.
I would think it's fair to say I am probably saving almost 1000 calories a week by making this switch...that is almost 1 full day of food for me! Those small changes can really make a difference, despite how tiny they feel at the time. What small change can you make this week?
Small changes do add up! Great NSV for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love how you call it "pretend butter" .... I really LOLd at it! <3
ReplyDeleteThis week I am going to leave out the dark chocolate chips in my protein smoothies. They are only there to make it taste a little better, but it will save me around 500 calories for the week. I can live with that! :-)
That is a huge change! Go you! It is amazing how certain things we just love and take up so many points/calories. Good for you for finding an alternative that works!
