Switching to a heart-healthy diet may not sound appealing at first, but there are many ways that you can substitute foods in your diet so you can stay healthy and still enjoy the foods that you eat. By substituting foods high in cholesterol and fat for healthier options, you can have a positive impact on your heart health. Before you pick up that next bacon cheeseburger, consider these quick and easy food substitutions that will be kind on your heart and your waistline. "Shred Diet Made Simple: Concise Guide to Ian K Smith's Six Week Cycle Diet Plan" by Betty Johnson, is a perfect start to living a healthy lifestyle by eating the right foods. The book looks on foods such as ground chicken and turkey. You can substitute ground chicken or ground turkey for recipes that call for ground beef, which will lower your calorie and fat intake for any meal. Turkey and chicken can actually enhance the flavor of some dishes by allowing you to taste the actual seasoning instead of the grease that comes with ground beef. If you are at a restaurant, try ordering a turkey burger or grilled chicken sandwich instead of a hamburger.
