Step 4: Substitution.

Are you the kind that gets stressed a lot and tend to eat to relieve this stress? Try yoga instead of emotional eating to de-stress yourself and feel better taking on a certain hobby that pleases you.

Are you the kind of person who is driven by boredom into eating? If so, then you need to substitute the unhealthy snacks you feel on by healthier and less fattening ones.

Here are some of the things you could substitute so you don't feel deprived in your diet plan. These are some examples of things you can buy if you've no time to cook:
