Hello!!
Wanted to find out if you tried any healthy food alternatives available in Nigeria? I have switched out of using palm oil to make vegetables to using olive oil.

Any suggestions?

    Never use palm oil at home. We use mostly vegetable oil with zero/low cholesterol and discovered we did not miss the palm oil flavor.

    I am also trying to avoid pounded yam or anything with pure white color. Rice is the toughest. Cant give it up.

    You are right. A lot (not a little) less is good. I am trying to limit rice to twice a week (small portions) and pounded yam to once or not at all. Good luck

    For rice try switching out to whole grain rice :)
    It actually tastes delicious.. and it's so much healthier! I use Uncle Ben's but I'm sure all other wholegrain rice tastes just as good.
