Tools for Success - food substitutions

Panda_Path

I apologize if something like this has already been posted. I am new here :P I would like to create a thread to help people find better alternatives for their previous food choices. Part of dieting is cutting out certain foods, and a lot of people have trouble filling the void left behind when they no longer have food X in their diet.

Please post any substitutions you have made that have helped you succeed! it might help others succeed, too .

My substitution:

I slice up cucumber, WITH the peel, and eat those instead of chips (or, "crisps" for my over-the-pond friends). You get the crunch without the carbs. And fat. And sodium....
