Simple Swaps for Weightloss

When I made the choice to stop eating junk and to start eating clean a few years ago, I learned how the small changes really do lead to some pretty big changes.

So big that I lost 45lbs from clean eating alone!

I would tweak my diet here and there and try to think up healthier alternatives or versions to my favorite junk food.

Here are some samples of my simple swaps!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch vs Oatmeal with Splenda with pecans or fresh fruit
