When starting a New Year’s resolution to eat better, there are many substitutes and alternatives that let people keep the tastes they like and abandon their poor diet. They should ease into a new diet or routine to avoid burn out or relapse. In the case of alcohol there are many substitutes for common liquor like gin and vodka that can be mixed to make mock-tails. One can also use sparkling waters or non-alcoholic wines to fulfill the craving. In the case of sugar there are a plethora of healthier substitutes including many recent natural options. Going vegan is a common resolution. There are now many meat substitutes like tempeh that deliver the texture and taste of meat without the guilt.

Key Takeaways:

• Make non-alcoholic drinks such as a non-alcoholic Moscow Mule in order to give you that drinks taste without the alcohol.
• Sparkling tea is a good substitute to avoid soft drinks which have tons of sugar or alcohol.
• Replace soda with a glass of water and some fruit in order to avoid sugar.
