Reply To: “Healthy” food substitutions

[Kate]

Hi! I’m so sorry for the delay – I did not get notified of this submission!! I think they’re great options if you have an intolerance or are looking for ways to stay within a deficit. They’re not “better” or necessarily healthier! If you don’t have an intolerance there is no reason to cut a certain food out. If you’re in a deficit but are craving pasta, a heart of palm substitute may be a great option. It just depends on your goals, preferences, and what you can tolerate!
