Club New You Weight Loss Tip: Eat This, Not That

Hello, Club New You friends!

We are sure that you are all excited to celebrate Christmas. We?re sure you?re looking forward to attending the much-awaited get-togethers, catching up with family and friends, and of course, eating those delicious foods. But wait, what about the promise you told yourself at the beginning of the year that you would start eating healthy?

Well, there is really no need to worry about your goal to lose weight because we have the perfect solution for you! Here are some healthy food alternatives that you would want to serve for this year?s Noche Buena:

Food: Pancit Canton
Healthy Food Alternative: Tomato-based Pasta Dish

We have all heard of the saying, ?Pancit canton for long life!? Many like pancit canton because of its various tasty garnishings, and salty and savory taste. However, you may want to reconsider serving this dish since it could have a lot of calories due to having multiple ingredients and oily preparation. If you want a healthier alternative, you could try serving a tomato-based pasta dish like the good old spaghetti. If you want something new, you could also serve Pasta Puttanesca that is low in fat yet rich in Vitamin A.

Food: Slow-roasted Pork or Lechon
Healthy Food Alternative: Honey Ham

Some would say that a party or any type of celebration is not complete without lechon. Who would say no to the lechon?s tender meat and crunchy skin? The answer is most likely those people who are watching their cholesterol levels. So, if you want to serve something healthier, you could serve honey ham instead. It has less fat and pork skin compared to lechon. What?s good about ham is that it has several healthy and tasty alternatives like lean and low-fat hams, chicken hams, and also turkey hams.

Food: Lumpiang Shanghai
Healthy Food Alternative: Fresh Spring Rolls

Lumpiang shanghai could be considered as a staple dish in almost any celebration. People like this dish due to its crunchy texture and rich meaty flavor. But little did you know this popular Chinese dish is actually high in fat and cholesterol. Thank goodness our Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls is here to the rescue! Each spring roll is packed with vegetables and other low-fat ingredients such as shrimps.

Food: Hot Chocolate
Healthy Food Alternative: Chai Tea Latte

Hot chocolate is one of the most sought after comfort food thanks to the cold weather brought by the season. However, hot chocolate drinks (especially those that are not made from pure chocolate) have high sugar levels that are not really good for someone who is watching his or her sugar levels. If you want delicious yet healthy drinks, you could serve chai tea latte. It has lesser calories compared to a hot chocolate drink. The soothing and calming effect of tea would also help increase your awareness and boost your energy, just what you need this busy holiday season.
