The hardest part of any diet is combating those sudden irrational cravings for all types of junk foods. Here's a way to mix some popular junk foods with a health counterpart and still maintain a healthy, balanced diet.

	Craving Salty Greasy chips
	Solution Mix 1 ounce of Fritos with 1 ounce of air-popped popcorn. Save 50 calories and 9 grams of fat.
	Craving A Juicy burger
	Solution Mix 2 ounces of ground beef with 2 ounces of ground turkey. This alternative saves you 14 grams of fat.
	Craving Pasta
	Solution Mix 1 ounce white pasta with 1 ounce whole wheat pasta. You get almost double the fiber of just white pasta and the whole wheat pasta provides three times as much folate.
	Craving Fruity Sangria
	Solution Mix 3 ounces sangria with 3 ounces flavored seltzer water. Save almost 140 calories and half the sugar. Also, staying hydrated while you drink will hold back a hangover.
	Craving Chocolate
	Solution MIx half a 1.7 ounce pack of M&Ms with 23 almonds. You get half the sugar and a third of the saturated fat. Also the protein and good fat can keep you from getting hungry.
