Add ingredients, subtract the calories Already fed up with the sweeping declarations of January 1? Well, you are not alone. Most studies show that resolutions begin to drop even after a week. In fact, just eight per cent of people actually achieve their yearly resolutions. Healthier food orders had a huge jump in the first days of January, but they now seem to have lost the primacy, so hellofood offers some tips to keep you going. Ask for your dressing on the side: Restaurants use too much dressing: McDonald’s Caesar Salad’s dressing is more fattening than their hamburger. Go easy on the cheese: Ask for less cheese on your pizza. It doesn’t make such a difference on the taste, especially if you plan to add some veggie toppings as well. Use hot mustard instead of ketchup or mayonnaise: Get mustard with your meal and feel the burn, literally! Eating one tablespoon of mustard can boost the metabolism by up to 25 per cent for several hours after eating. Choose Greek yogurt, not sour cream: Use Greek yogurt and save about 50 calories and seven grams of fat per dollop. Go for guacamole as a dip or topping: Avocado’s unique combo of essential fatty acids, monounsaturated fats and antioxidants helps you speed up your metabolism, ward off the munchies and keep you full.
