My Top 10 Healthy Eating Dupes

Before I started Dolly & Bud, I attended a Business Boutique Conference with my daughter, sister and a good friend.

My heart was on fire to start this blog and so I gathered the girls and asked them to go to this conference with me. We rented an Airbnb in Nashville and we had so much fun! Honestly, if I could go back and do it over again – I'd skip the conference and just hang out with the girls at the house. The conference was good, but the time spent with four creative ladies under one roof was even better. Guess who walked in with bags and bags of food and drink? Yeah, that was me! 😊 Everyone was so excited about the snacks we had and I distinctly remember saying “eating healthy doesn’t have to be a death sentence!”

I think so many people make these unrealistic New Year’s resolutions and I used to be one of them. And I think with those resolutions comes this all or nothing mentality of restriction and suffering. And then, if you’re really lucky, you might make it to February with that restrictive diet. I am living proof that you can have your cake and eat it too and lose weight while you do it! 

I still eat all my favorite foods. I’ve just figured out dupes so that I’m substituting healthy ingredients or products for the less than stellar products that I used to use.  So, let’s get in the nitty gritty of it all and share some easy, healthy swaps.

These are simple swaps that you can buy anywhere. Since I’m a member of Thrive Market, I tend to buy from them but you can find these products in your local grocery store or on Amazon. Just remember to be kind to your body and make some healthy swaps this year. It’s the slow, consistent changes that make a huge difference in the long run!😊
