Sticking to your healthy new year resolutions<\/a> isn't such an uphill task.<\/p>

In fact, here's how you can make it stick: instead of swearing by a new diet that completely<\/em> differs<\/a> from the one you're used to eating, make small tweaks to the foods you know you eat regularly. They are often the hardest to give up, anyway!<\/p>

For one, do you typically copious amounts of butter on your breakfast kaya<\/em> toast? If yes, opt for an extra virgin olive oil spread<\/a>! Or do you love sour cream dips for your chips? Why not switch to the probiotic-rich Greek yogurt?<\/p>

Embracing healthier (yet equally tasty) versions of all the foods you already know and love is the easiest, most fail-proof way to get you eating healthier<\/strong> as you start the new year. Browse our gallery above as we guide you through the 12 everyday kitchen items you can easily swap out with healthier alternatives!<\/p>
