A List of Healthy Alternatives to the Foods We Love

Have you ever tried to clean up your diet, and all you could think about was that dessert you couldn’t eat or that bread you can’t have for breakfast anymore? Or that pasta dish you love so much that’s now “off-limits” for the time being? It isn’t uncommon to think of the foods we can’t eat more than the foods we can when we start a new regimen.
