food replacement suggestions

Here are some food replacement suggestions:

Replace soda with
water, green tea, no-sugar-added juice

Replace whole milk with
1% milk or soy milk

Replace candy bars with
high-protein low-sugar health bars

Replace chips, pretzels & popcorn with
dry-roasted salted soy nuts

Replace ice cream with
low-sugar yogurt topped with fruit

Replace chocolates with
chocolate covered raisins (measured portion)

Replace bread with
toasted seasoned whole-wheat pita chips

Remember that eating well is not a punishment... It's not depravation...
It's liberation from the bonds of obesity that kept us from living.

I never though that i could ever have Chocolate Covered raisins again. wow.......
Never tried Dry roasted salted soy nuts i will have to later.

Beware of the chocolate covered raisins. True it's a better choice than full chocolate.
BUT......
30 raisins have more calories and fat than my normal breakfast! and are loaded with sugar- 28 grams.
