The Zen Habit blog recently posted a very interesting post of how you can gradually transform your self to eat healthier. Leo Babuta says moving one-by-one through a series of “instead of” substitutions. For example, try:

• Eat fruits for snacks. If you snack on junk food during the day, have some fruits by your side at all times. When you’re feeling hungry for a snack, eat a fruit. One of those bags of small apples is a handy thing — you can’t go wrong with apples.
• Make pizza instead of ordering. Homemade pizza is the best, and if you haven’t made it yet, you should. The simple way is to get a ready-made whole-wheat crust, although making your own tastes even better. Start with the simple version, though, as you don’t want to make things too difficult.
• Nuts instead of chips. If you normally snack on chips, try unsalted peanuts or raw almonds.
