Whether due to weight loss efforts or personal preference, avoiding carbs is a common endeavor and is, no doubt, a difficult chapter for many.

But instead of completely depriving yourself of some of the meals that satisfy you in your everyday life, you can learn to make them with some clever variations.

See below for the best and healthy alternatives to carbohydrates in your meals:

Instead of spaghetti, zucchini

It has very few calories and, combined with the right sauce, can be a perfect substitute for spaghetti. A serving of spaghetti contains 190 calories, while the same amount of zucchini has 8!

Instead of bread, rye cakes

A cake contains less than 71 calories, while 2 slices of bread have 140-190. Use them to make two wraps instead of bread sandwiches.

Cauliflower instead of rice

It may seem strange to you, but boiled cauliflower is very tasty and worth a try. But in addition, by replacing half a cup of rice with the same amount of cauliflower, you save 110 calories and 27.2 grams of carbohydrates.

Instead of mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes

By replacing the potato with the sweet potato, which is packed with nutrients and tastes great, you cut back on fat and calories without sacrificing taste.

Instead of tortillas, kale leaves

If you want to make a sandwich, try instead of tortillas to use kale leaves which become delicious when combined with ground meat, beans or other filling.

Instead of couscous, quinoa

Although they look and taste similar, these two are quite different: Couscous is processed wheat flour, while quinoa is a whole grain that provides you with satisfying protein.
