00:00Small changes in the way you cook can add up to big results in weight loss, if you know how to cheat.

00:06Now I've got four substitutions for your favorite fattening ingredients.

00:09They're my secret weapons to cheat in the kitchen.

00:11And I guarantee you will lose weight without sacrificing taste.

00:14And Julie is here to prove it. How are you, Julie?

00:16Good, thank you.

00:17So what's one of your favorite foods you make for your family?

00:19Well, they love lasagna. Nice, meat, cheesy lasagna with buttery garlic bread.

00:25I can see it in your eyes.

00:27Your image is stored in there.

00:29Let me show you how you can continue to make the lasagna and all the other products you want to make

00:33without adding calories and without adding fat.

00:35The first kitchen cheat is actually for butter.

00:38We all love butter. You cook with it a lot?

00:41It gives the flavor to the food. It's nice and rich. It's good.

00:45You have to have butter.

00:46But I think you can cheat on your butter if you use canned pumpkin.

00:51This is a nutritional powerhouse.

00:53It is rich in potassium. It has iron in it.

00:55One cup has seven grams of fiber.

00:57I mean, this stuff is good.

00:58Wow.

00:59It does all the things you want it to do for you.

01:01It's easy to purchase, and it's reduced fat, and it's low in calories.

01:05And it keeps the moisture in all your recipes.

01:07Now, typically, I keep half the butter that you normally would use,

01:10and then you add and mix it.

01:12Instead of the other half of the butter, use the organic pumpkin.

01:13Same amount.

01:14If you mix those together, you'll get this creamy solution that is perfect to bake with,

01:18and you can actually make these kinds of products with it.

01:20So I have made these for you.

01:22These are my little muffins. I think you'll enjoy them.

01:24You can make pancakes with them. You can make cookies with them.

01:26Again, look for low-sodium pumpkin.

01:28Give it a taste.

01:30You'd never go to someone's house and not taste their muffins.

01:33Let's see what she thinks.

01:35It's good. Great.

01:36It's good, right?

01:37I mean, muffin in itself is hard to get a good sip of.

01:40This is good.

01:42She's eating more.

01:43Okay, the next secret we're going to talk about is an important kitchen cheat is for cream.

01:47Do you make a lot of creamy dishes at home?

01:48Yeah, I do.

01:49Fettuccine Alfredo or even mac and cheese.

01:52You must be a fun, hostile living. That's good.

01:54All right, so for the fettuccine alfredo, I've got a little cheat for you.

01:57You're going to not think this is feasible, but this is the die for.

02:00Tofu.

02:02Really?

02:03Now, before everyone starts rolling their eyes,

02:04and we say, oh, tofu, please, come on, cream.

02:06If you replace your cream with this tofu,

02:10you replace the saturated fat, you replace the calories,

02:12and that's normally found in the cream.

02:14And if you get silken tofu, which is this kind of tofu,

02:17if you look at this, guys, you see how it's sort of soft?

02:19It actually looks like it's cream a little bit.

02:21It's not the regular tofu.

02:22It's silken tofu, high in protein, low in fat.

02:24It may lower your cholesterol because of the fact that it's tofu.

02:27It's got phytoestrogens, and for that reason, it lowers the risk of heart disease.

02:30So I can give you a hundred different reasons why it's good,

02:32but you actually have to like the taste.

02:34So give this a taste, and I'm going to explain what it is.

02:36If you mix this up with other products, you can puree it in the soups and the sauces.

02:40It works in a mac and cheese, potato soups.

02:42This happens to be silken tofu tomato soup.

02:46And I don't like tomato soup.

02:47Oh, you don't?

02:48But this is really good.

02:49It's good, isn't it?

02:50Oh, I like it.

02:51It's a kind of one-to-one transition that you can make without anybody knowing it in your family.

02:55And you have cheated on your old-fashioned cream to make them healthier.

02:58No, it's really, really good.

03:00We use this a lot in my house.

03:01Silken tofu.

03:02Okay, next kitchen cheat is one for this sandwich calorie killer, which is mayonnaise.

03:07Just a little dot of mayonnaise.

03:09You put 80 calories on there half the time, right?

03:11A lot of fat, too.

03:12So what are you going to replace it with?

03:14Do you use a lot of mayo in your lunch sandwiches?

03:16Three kids, I have to make their lunches.

03:18I eat one myself, tuna fish.

03:20What do you think they would say if you came home and made them an avocado Greek yogurt power combo instead of the mayo?

03:27I want to try it.

03:28You want to try it?

03:29It looks really good, yeah.

03:30Here, you know what?

03:31This is what it looks like.

03:32Give that a taste.

03:33Remember, now these are both super creamy foods, so they give you the same texture as mayo normally has in it.

03:37If you combine half a cup of avocado with Greek yogurt 2% kind, you get a lot less of the saturated fats.

03:44You get a lot of the healthy fats.

03:46And most importantly, you just need a little dab of it to give you that exact same texture as mayo.

03:50I like the consistency because with them, they don't like to eat vegetables, but they love avocado and they like the yogurt.

03:57Oh, good.

03:58So that works good.

03:59Put some on this bread.

04:00Okay.

04:01She knows how to make food.

04:03This is perfect.

04:04Okay, now lick the knife.

04:07Didn't I teach you anything?

04:11Okay, just put it right there.

04:13My goodness.

04:15All right.

04:16Take a small bite so you can continue to talk about the sandwich.

04:19All right.

04:20Would your kids enjoy that?

04:22Definitely.

04:24I'll give it to you.

04:25I promise you.

04:26You'll have it as soon as it's done.

04:27As soon as it's done, this is yours.

04:28And the final cheat, and this is the cheat for one of the biggest problems we have, is sugar.

04:32You got to make sugar in everything.

04:34I want you to cheat on your sugar with banana puree.

04:39This is the simplest, easiest cheat of them all.

04:41You take a banana, you mash it up with a fork or you can put it in a blender, whatever you want to do.

04:46You replace half the sugar that's called for in the recipe.

04:49For example, if you need one cup of sweetener that you're supposed to use, you get half a cup of that sweetener or sugar,

04:54and use a half a cup of this banana puree.

04:56You mix it up.

04:57This is just a banana puree.

04:58When you mix it with the sugar, it adds fiber, it adds moisture, and it will take on the flavor of the fruit puree.

05:04So you get all the benefits.

05:05So we made these cookies with my recipe.

05:08Again, half of the sugar will be replaced with this banana puree.

05:11This, you can eat the whole cookie.

05:12Give me a taste.

05:13See what you think about it.

05:14But not the whole cookie, right?

05:15It's all yours.

05:16You know what?

05:17You can have two cookies.

05:18Take two.

05:19You like it?

05:20Yeah.

05:21It's good, isn't it?

05:22It's great.

05:23It's not over dry.

05:24It just gives it a nice, good sweet.

05:26So which one are you going to use first for your family?

05:29Oh, the avocado yogurt.

05:31Folks, I have all these recipes on DrRoz.com.

05:34Use them.

05:35Give them a shot.

05:36You can trick and cheat on the ingredients you've got in your kitchen,

05:38and you'll help your family at the same time.
