Substitute potatoes with butternut for weight loss

Here is a great alternative to fresh chips that is not only delicious but nutritious and far lower in calories too.

Instead of having potato chips, slice up some butternut in the same way that you usually have your chips. After a wash, throw on some seasoning - this could include salt, pepper or even herbs and spices , depending on your taste buds.

Then drizzle with a little olive or coconut oil and pop into the oven. Remove when the butternut starts to turn golden brown or depending on how crispy you would like to have them.

Not only can this be eaten as a snack, but it can be a great component to a balanced meal, when consumed together with some protein and a salad. The best part is that the butternut chips contain far fewer calories than the regular deep fried potato version.
