Eating Healthy Simply by Replacing X with Y

Contrary to what you may believe, eating healthy does not have to require a drastic lifestyle change. You can eat the same things you always eat--just start buying a healthier version of it. Have gustatory substitution ideas not covered in the list? Feel free to share them in the comments below!

• Replace cow milk with soy milk
• Replace coffee with tea
• Replace white bread with whole wheat bread
• Replace white rice with brown rice
• Replace ice cream with yogurt
• Replace animal meat with veggie meat (take my word on this--you'd be surprised how convincing and good these things are these days!)
• Replace processed sugar with stevia or honey
• Replace potato chips with kale chips
• Replace salt with sea salt
• Replace plain pasta with whole-wheat pasta
• Replace cooked vegetables with uncooked, raw salads
• Replace canned, creamy soups (usually containing MSG) with miso soup
• Replace whole eggs with egg whites (the egg yolk can be used as a great facial mask)

Bon appetit!
