CONDIMENT/INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTES Buy Not Just Abs today to learn about some dangerous ingredients in everyday foods that you can avoid with great substitutes.
Well, it was a long time since I had mayonnaise. I used to love it growing up, but as a health-conscious adult, the ingredients didn't suit me (like hydrogenated oils) so I stopped eating it. That is until I found Spectrum Canola Mayonnaise in healthy food stores, like Roots. Delicious and much healthier for when I want a weekend cheat that includes mayonnaise, like with my Salmon sandwich on the Recipe page of this website. Then, low and behold I found that Hellmann's got smart and came up with one. The major stores are starting to carry it. Hooray!
I can't even remember what Jelly tastes like, this is so much better tasting, not to mention, healthier! Seedless Strawberry is my favorite flavor. Comes in many others though. Love it with my peanut butter on rice cakes or sometimes mixed in with any hot cereal. All major grocery stores usually have All Fruit and/or Simply Fruit. Health food stores have other brands of all-fruit spreads.
Very tasty, much healthier ingredients than your regular margarines. Most major stores sell it.
Bread Crumbs for when I make my turkey meatloaf, recipe in the book. Jaclyn's I find at Roots, Ian's at Whole Foods.

I use NoSalt and Morton Salt Substitute. No Salt at home, Morton (since it comes in the small size) I keep at work. Giant sells them both, but once again, cheaper at Weis.
Trader Joe's Organic Ketchup without the bad ingredients found in non-organic ketchup, is my favorite. Annie's is another which can be found at other health food stores, such as Whole Foods. 
Stevia is a sugar substitute derived from the Stevia Plant. No sugar, no calories and with Inulin Fiber, it can actually be good for you. I used to get Stevia, packets and liquid, from the Vitamin Shoppe. Recently, I found stevia online at Webvitamins.com. They used to sell the liquid form for $8.99, but went up to $9.90 for a 2 oz. bottle (lasts long, only need a squirt), and it's still a good price compared to the stores. Plus, Webvitamins has more flavors, like Chocolate Raspberry, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Orange Valencia, Grape, Cinnamon and more. The packets are used for my breakfast Cream of Rice or Multi-grain hot cereal and in place of sugar in recipes. The liquid I squirt into seltzer water and seltzer water juice mixes. Even with zero calories, it feels like a cheat. Tastes similar to Italian sodas I have had. 
DEB EL Just Whites is just that, just egg whites. I like to use this in place of protein powders in my carb/protein cake bar recipe when I'm being very strict, losing fat fast. Most health food stores have similars egg white products. I get DEB EL from Weis.
