If carbs are your dieting downfall, you can make healthy substitutions that will help you lose weight, says "Hungry Girl" author Lisa Lillien. Watch this video to learn more.
So there's a time and place for for starch carbs but let's say you don't want to have them, you want to avoid them, I've got some great swaps and they can be found right in the [xx]. So instead of bread, you can wrap whatever it is you want to have whether it is a burger or a hot-dog in lettuce, or even cabbage leaves that you can steam or just put in the microwave.
That's a fantastic swap. Also I like potatoes, and I like French fries but I make them out of vegetables so I use butternut squash instead of fries, I use turnips instead of flies, I even used carrot instead of fries. Slice them, bake them, sprinkle them with a little bit salt, and you're done and you save tones of calories.
