Healthy Food Swaps You Should Try

By | Uncategorized

If you’re trying to stick to a healthy diet, sweet and savory temptations can derail any of your good intentions. And while you should never have to completely eliminate any of your favorite foods, you can definitely satisfy your cravings with some simple healthy swaps.

Try out these healthier alternatives for different “junk” food cravings to help keep you on track with your health-related goals.

truvision pizza substitute

PIZZA

Craving a big slice of cheesy pepperoni with smooth marinara sauce? Try veggie pizzas. Swap out the crust for a low-calorie vegetable alternative such as mini eggplant pizzas, portobello mushroom pizzas, or zucchini pizza boats. You can also make a more traditional crust out of mashed cauliflower, eggs, and a little mozzarella.

PASTA

Craving a zesty pasta? Try using veggie noodles. Make your favorite pasta sauce then pour it on top of spaghetti squash instead of regular pasta noodles. You can also try making your own noodles with a veggie spiralizer with zucchini. Swapping out your noodles for veggie alternatives gives you more vitamins and fiber at much less of a caloric cost.

If your favorite sauce is a cream sauce, try swapping out the heavy cream, cheeses, and butter for plain nonfat Greek yogurt. It gives the creamy consistency without the extra calories, plus it is packed with protein and calcium.

truvision chips substitute

CHIPS

If you’re wanting the crispy salty crunch of potato chips, try making your own kale chips. Get the crunch without all the calories and trans fats. Just trim leaves, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, and bake at 275 for 20 minutes. You can also try it with sweet potatoes, zucchinis, spinach, or Brussel sprouts!

If you’re wanting the crunch and creamy combo of chips and dip, try veggie sticks with hummus, or sweet potato chips with some chunky tomato based or mango salsa.

truvision candy substitute

CANDY & DESSERT

Got a sweet tooth? Go for fruit, aka natures candy. If you’re feeling tangy sweet, go for pomegranates, kiwis, or grapes. If you’re feeling more of a rich sweet, bake some red apples or peaches sprinkled with cinnamon. Blend some fruits together with a little ice and coconut water for a sweet smoothie.

If you’re craving chocolate, go for some dark chocolate or cacao which makes you feel satisfied much quicker than milk chocolate plus dark chocolate contains antioxidants. Our non-glycemic chocolate also makes a great healthy treat!

Want something creamy? Make a fruit parfait with Greek yogurt, berries, and a little granola. Or you can blend together some yogurt, strawberries, and a banana for a creamy smoothie.

truvision fries substitute

FRIES

Craving some salty thick cut fries? (Who doesn’t?) Try sweet potato fries. Don’t fry them in oil, but lightly coat sliced sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper then bake for 25 minutes at 425 degrees. You’re getting less fat by baking instead of frying, plus sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, pro-vitamin E, anthocyanins and more!

How Natural Plant Extracts Can Help You Lose Weight

By | Weight Loss

The key to losing weight isn’t a secret, despite what most weight loss supplement companies will lead you to believe. A combination of a healthy diet and exercise yield the best, and most permanent, weight loss results.

When you properly feed your body, you feel better and can get more out of your workouts. You also avoid food cravings that will hinder your ability to lose weight or drain your energy levels.

But eating right and working out are easier said than done. If you aren’t properly fueling your body, you will most likely feel sluggish which makes maintaining an active lifestyle difficult. That’s where natural plant extracts play a role.

What to Know About Natural Plant Extracts

Natural plant extracts are compounds obtained or derived from plant materials. These can include: fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, roots, etc. and can provide powerful health benefits when consumed.

A fortified and proven combination of natural plant extracts can improve blood chemistry which supports a healthy body and enhances longevity. When you tune up your blood chemistry, you can see an increase in your metabolism and maintain liver performance – all of which is critical in a weight loss journey.

How to Incorporate Natural Plant Extracts Into Your Lifestyle

We’ve established eating right can be hard, but are there products or programs out there that can help? TruVision offers a health system that supports you in your journey to lose weight and maintain an active lifestyle.

Gaining weight comes down to what we eat, how much we eat, and how active we are. When we target these areas of our health, we can see improvements. That’s why TruVision has developed the TruVision Health Weight Loss Combo. This system, which includes our truFIX and truCONTROL products, are made of natural compounds and plant extracts that help curb your appetite and support healthy energy levels which helps you move more.

How to Lose Weight with TruVision

Our truCONTROL in conjunction with truFIX promote healthy weight management, mental clarity, and enhanced feelings of well-being. Together, this powerful combination of antioxidants will help you burn body fat, reduce your appetite, and provide you with the energy you need to get up and get active.

Thousands of people have incorporated the TruVision system into their long-term health plans and have seen dramatic results. Some even lose anywhere from 4-7 pounds within the first week.

Stop craving junk food. Quit feeling lethargic. It’s time to put your health first, and it’s time to do it the right way.

healthy snacks on the go

Healthy Snacks for Busy Moms

By | Weight Loss | No Comments

Being a mom is a busy enough job as it is, but when you add a working life and career to the mix, things can start to get hectic indeed.  With so much to do, it can be tough going to keep everyone in the family fueled up with nutritious foods.

Cutting corners to save time on food preparation can often involve making convenient but unhealthy snack choices, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We’re here to tell you that convenient doesn’t have to mean unhealthy or even time-consuming. Use these five super healthy snacks on the go ideas to keep you and your family charged up for the whole day.

Trail Mix

A well-proportioned trail mix is one of those easy, healthy snacks which provides lasting energy and even gives you an excellent excuse to indulge in a little bit of dark chocolate as well. Dark chocolate and its antioxidants make great combinations when thrown into a trail mix with healthy portions of fiber and protein. You will have a well-balanced snack for a slow-burn of energy that will keep everyone perked up for a most of the day.

You can use your imagination but here’s a mix you can use as a starting point. Combine almonds, dried cherries, and dark chocolate chips (or M & Ms). Add a pinch of cinnamon and dash of sea salt. Other nuts are good too depending on what you like, so experiment with cashews, brazil nuts (good for selenium), dried fruits – dried mango is sweet and delicious – coconut flakes and banana chips.

Remember, a trail mix is packed full of energy, so a small handful is all you need to top up the fuel tank.

Snack Sized Bags of Healthy Cereals

There are plenty of cereals available which are healthy options for breakfast but throw some into a snack sized bag, and you have any number of easy, healthy snacks ready to go at a moment’s notice. Choose cereals which are high in vitamins, minerals, folic acid, and low in sugar. Whole grain foods will provide the most health benefits, while also giving you that much needed slow release of energy.

Savory Muffins

Sometimes you want something that’s savory instead of sweet. In these situations, a savory muffin is an easy snack everybody can enjoy at any time of the day without adding any unnecessary calories. Plus, the kids will love them as well.  Zucchini muffins are a favorite recipe you can easily find online, but there are plenty of variations you can try to find a taste that’s right for you.

Rice Cakes and Topping

Rice cakes are an easy option that is completely fat-free, and low in calories. They are little weak in the vitamins and minerals department but that’s where the toppings come in, and your imagination is the only limit. Try combinations of avocado, chicken, cream cheese, pesto, or tomato with a sprinkle of basil. Peanut or almond butter also goes well with bananas or strawberries, or both.

Air Popped Popcorn

The popcorn you get at the cinemas is junk food covered in unhealthy fats, and the microwave popcorn isn’t much better, but if you make your own popcorn in a hot air popper then you have yourself a healthy snack.

Plain air-popped popcorn can be a little bland, but you do have some flavoring options. Sprinkle a little olive oil with Parmesan cheese for a savory delight or add a dash of chili and some sea salt for a bit of spice.

With just a few simple ingredients and a couple of spare minutes, every busy mom will have plenty of healthy snacks on the go options ready to pop into lunch boxes quick as a flash.

Preparing to Lose Weight

By | Weight Loss

Taking on and changing lifelong habits can be tough, especially when it comes to losing weight. A significant part of building your levels of motivation for weight loss involves laying the groundwork and taking note of what successful weight loss means to you. 

At Truvision Weight Loss we want you to succeed and have prepared this quick guide on the best ways to prepare. 

TruVision Weight Loss Before and After Photos

Before your weight loss journey begins, it’s a great idea to take a photo of how you look now. As you shed the pounds, you can regularly refer to the image and congratulate yourself on how far you have come. 

The best way to take a photo of yourself is to get someone else to do it for you, but it doesn’t have to be a professional photographer. If your only option is to use a mirror, then make sure you hold the camera off to the side, so the flash doesn’t flood the image, and you don’t block your face. 

Another good tip for a mirror shot is to not look at your reflection, but instead, focus your gaze on the lens of the camera just like you would if someone else was taking the shot. 

Good lighting is essential for a before photo, and make sure you aren’t in front of a distracting background – a plain wall is ideal. 

The attire you wear for your photo is also essential. A loose-fitting gown will hide how well your efforts are paying off. Instead, go for a swimsuit or form hugging outfit for best results – active wear or gym clothes would be perfect. 

Some people are tempted to photograph themselves in their underwear, but this may make you feel uncomfortable if your photo is going to be publicly viewed by anybody other than close family. 

One photo is not enough. You will want to record your journey with regular snaps of your progress. For a more accurate picture of your progress, always take the photo under the same conditions as your first image. 

TruVision Weight Loss Before and After Body Measurements 

A cheap tape measure from the craft store is all you will need for accurate body measurements. The best time to take your measurements is in the morning, as your body shape changes slightly during the day. 

Taking measurements at the same time each day will ensure consistency in the measurements, and you will gain a deeper understanding of what is and isn’t working for you. 

Join a Success Group

Weight loss can be tough when you’re going it alone. However, while you are in it for yourself, you don’t have to do it by yourself. Success groups are a terrific way to share your trials and tribulations and find motivation in others’ success.

You can find support in a group in many ways including hints and tips, exercise ideas, dieting strategies, encouragement, and all while keeping yourself accountable. 

Clear out the Fridge and the Pantry

If you are just starting your weight loss efforts then making sure your fridge, freezer, and pantry are all free of temptations is an excellent way to begin your journey. 

Prepare Your Meal Plan

Wondering about what you have for dinner or lunch every day only adds to the struggle and leads to the temptation of taking shortcuts. Create your meal plan with delicious, healthy recipes that you know you will look forward to, and you are less likely to make a detour to the drive through on your way home from work. 

Taking on and changing lifelong habits can be tough, especially when it comes to losing weight. A significant part of building your levels of motivation for weight loss involves laying the groundwork and taking note of what successful weight loss means to you.
