Here is a handy little guide to healthier eating. CravingConverter.com is a fun web site that helps the user make rational food choices. Here is how it works. Type a food you are craving into the search box. The site will suggest a healthier alternative. I tested the system by typing in chocolate - one of my regular cravings. The site listed a selection of chocolate choices with pictures. I clicked on the chocolate that looked most appealing to me and the program suggested I try a chocolate covered strawberry as a lower calorie, higher fiber and vitamin choice. I did and it tasted great!! I think this site could be a great tool for all who want to eat healthier.

 

There is also a PDF version of the Craving Converter that can be printed out. Carry it with you in your pocket or purse to have handy when the cravings hit!

 

WARNING: The Craving Converter is not a vegetarian site. However, I found a lot of good guidelines and advice I could convert to my vegan lifestyle. For instance, the site recommended berries and cream for an ice cream craving. I sliced strawberries and added a little soy coffee creamer and agave syrup. Yummy!
