35 Healthy Food Swaps

One of the biggest humps for people to get over is the idea that eating healthy means feeling deprived. It used to be one of my humps too, so I can totally relate! Learning how to make healthy food swaps was a life changer for me, which is why I put this post together.

If you’re following Portion Fix/21 Day Fix Eating Plan, you’ll especially appreciate these healthy food swaps because they enable you to deconstruct meals that you’re used to eating and make them Fix compliant. THIS is the secret to not feeling deprived!

So, here you go! Here are 35 healthy food swaps that will allow you to enjoy many of the snacks and meals you love AND continue to eat healthy and lose weight on the 21 Day Fix:
