7 Tips to Lose Fat Fast

The Baking (substitutions) Issue

Nov 13, 2023

 

Hello Dear One!

 

As the Holidays and social gatherings begin to race towards NOW I thought to help make us all (myself included) better prepared for what's to come.

 

Tis the season for MORE FOOD and HEAVIER FARE (sweeter, fattier, more carb rich).

 

As I made a dessert (Pumpkin Brownies - see below) for a family gathering this past weekend I thought to share one of the substitutions I used in it (applesauce vs oil) as well as MANY others that could be useful when preparing offerings for gatherings of your own.

 

 

PLUS the big disclaimer I wish to make with these suggestions is that they are GOOD to know, and possibly GREAT to use if desired.

 

Sometimes we want the real deal butter, sugar, oil, chocolate, heavy cream, and flour combo.

 

And sometimes we (and our audience) is open to a modification that still offers a sweet treat that is undeniably delicious but INFINITELY  better for our waistline and health.

 

So here we go.

 

 

SEXY WAISTLINE SUBSTITUTIONS

 

 

1. BUTTER

 

- Avocado

  - use half the amount

 

- Banana

   - start with using half the amount, add more if needed

 

- Pumpkin

  - use equal amounts

 

 

2. OIL

 

- Pumpkin

  - use equal amounts

 

- Applesauce

  - use equal amounts, but don't exceed 1/4 c in a recipe

 

- Greek Yogurt

  - for every 1 c of oil, use 3/4 c Greek Yogurt

 

 

3. FLOUR

 

- Nut Flours

  - equal amounts + extra 1/2 tsp of leavening agent (baking soda/powder)

 

- Black Beans (rinsed, drained, pureed)

  - equal amounts

 

- Chickpeas (rinsed, drained, pureed)

  - equal amounts

 

- Oats (blended into flour)

  - equal amounts

 

 

 

 

4. SUGAR

  

- Maple Syrup = less dramatic impact on blood sugar

 

- Sugar Free Maple Syrup

  - Choczero's offering is great as it's sweetened with Monk Fruit

 

- Mashed Bananas

  - use equal amounts

 

- Applesauce

  - use equal amounts

 

- Allulose with Monk Fruit

  - use equal amounts

 

 

5. CHOCOLATE

 

- Unsweetened Cocoa for SemiSweet Chocolate

  - for every ounce = 1 TBS cocoa + 2 tsp sugar + 2 tsp oil/butter

  (can obviously use all substitutions recommended)

 

- Berries for Chocolate Chips

  - raspberries, strawberries

 

- Sugar Free Chocolate Chips

  - Choczero is best = sweetened with Monk Fruit

 

 

6. MILK or HEAVY CREAM

 

- Skim Milk for Whole Milk

 

- Evaporated Skim Milk for Heavy Cream

 

 

7. SOUR CREAM or MAYO

 

- Greek Yogurt

 

 

8. PEANUT BUTTER

 

- Powdered Peanut Butter

 

So those are my findings!

 

 

Would love to hear if you do end up using any of these substitutions for some of your traditional or well loved culinary creations.

 

For some of the harder core substitutions (beans for flour, avocado for butter, or applesauce for sugar) I'd encourage you to TEST IT FIRST.

 

Either serve something challenging to a relaxed and supportive crowd, or make something super simple and not dissimilar to the thing your substituting (ex. black beans in brownies, avocado in banana bread, applesauce in oatmeal cookies).

 

And if you wish to - please SHOW and let me know that you did!  Would love to see!

 

And if you'd like a LIFESTYLE that will make the HOLIDAYS less of a BIG DEAL for WEIGHT GAIN - please consider getting your body into a FAT BURNING MODE.

 

Make weight gain HARDER and weight lass EASIER while understanding how to have your cake and eat it too.

Would love to help get to be your guide on this life changing journey.

 

To getting you clearer on how the body works in order to make it work for you.
