Food substitutions - Try it out

I tried the following concept & it works very well; gradually substitute unnatural or processed foods with whole or natural unprocessed foods in your daily diet:
- Replace sugar with brown sugar or honey
- Replace mayonnaise with Mustard
- Replace white wheat with whole wheat (in bread, pasta, pizza,...)
- Replace candy with dried fruits
- Replace sweetened juice and soda with unsweetened Juice or even better with fruits
- Replace low-fat or zero-fat milk with whole milk (this one seems a little strange, but there are studies that indicate that whole milk is more nutritious for you & it also keeps your blood sugar levels more steady which lowers your craves for sweet food!)

Note: There is nothing wrong with eating any of the food items you are replacing occasionally as long as you don't make it a habit. For example, I love ice cream & I have some of my favorite once in a while.
