How to Make Lateral Shifts Example, if you’re a soda junkie, it’s easy to make a lateral shift to sparkling water with a twist, including lemon, lime or, one of my favorites, Emergen-C. Try these other healthy shifts: that gourmet coffee drink for half caf with a splash of coconut milk Trade sweetened iced tea for fruit essence infused green tea Trade veggie oils (safflower, sunflower, corn and soybean) for EVOO (olive oil), walnut oil or sesame oil. Trade ready-made salad dressing for your own blend of EVOO and a specialty vinegar Trade orange juice for a fresh orange Trade artificial sweeteners AND sugar for Xylitol Trade iceberg lettuce for spinach greens Trade peanuts for almonds, walnuts and pecans. Trade nutrient depleted table salt for sea salt Trade egg beaters for cage free organic eggs Trade white potatoes for yams or sweet potatoes Trade blue cheese crumbles for goat cheese Trade corn-fed beef rib-eye steak grass fed filet mignon Trade chicken thighs and wings for organic chicken breasts Trade white rice for brown and wild rice steamed in chicken broth Trade farm-raised fish for wild fish. Trade sugar-loaded marinara sauce for organic, no-sugar added marinara sauce Trade light mayonnaise for gourmet mustard blends Trade refried beans for fat free pinto beans with Mexican seasoning © 2011 JJ Virgin & Associates, Inc. www.jjvirgin.com Page 1 Trade fried taco shells for soft whole grain tortillas Trade dried raisins for frozen grapes Trade peanut butter for almond, cashew, macadamia or walnut butters Trade white pasta for quinoa or rice pasta Trade margarine for organic butter Trade ketchup for salsa Trade ranch dip for hummus © 2011 JJ Virgin & Associates, Inc. www.jjvirgin.com Page 2
