Changing the way I eat, it's a lifestyle!

Eating healthy IS NOT just about eating Fruits and Veggies all day and sacrificing the good in life! PAH-LEASE!! Here are a few things I have changed in the way I eat to make life healthier!:
Peanut butter->Natural Peanut butter (less sugar!)
Mayonnaise->Olive Oil Mayo (1/2 the fat!)
Mayonnaise->Avocado (natural fat!)
Bread->Whole wheat bread or Whole grain bread (fiber!) I love Dave's Killer Bread (organic too)
Salad dressing->Olive Oil and vinegar or homemade vinagrettes (natural fats)
White Sugar-> Honey, fruit, Applesauce, dates, molasses, unrefined coconut sugar, and pure maple syrup
Yoplai yogurt-> Chobani low fat/nonfat GREEK yogurt (Protein!)
Bacon-> Turkey bacon (way less fat and saturated fat)
Pasta-> whole wheat pasta OR Smart Taste pasta (has lots of fiber but looks white)
BUTTER->oil, coconut oil, olive oil, etc. or skip the butter all together!
Cheddar cheese-> mozzarella cheese (less fat!)
Rib Eye steak-> Sirloin steak (Lean meat)
Tortillas-> whole wheat tortillas (FIBER)
English muffins->whole wheat (FIBER)
Rotisserie chicken-> boneless skinless chicken (LEAN protein)
Juice or soda-> Water, water, water!!!
French fries-> homemade baked sweet potato fries (chop, toss in a little olive oil and salt and bake!)
If I'm still hungry....eat veggies (fiber fills!:) If I have a sugar craving...eat fruit!!
Avoiding cravings-Shakeology® and eat protein with each meal (5 meals a day!)

I'm sure there are more great substitutes that I've made and will make, but that's all I can think of right now!;) There are so many little changes to make that all add to a healthy lifestyle to make you feel great and be healthy in the long run!
