do know that it is difficult to find substitutes for old favorites...
when my partner and I both opted to change our eating habits (he a few months after seeing the difference in me 
) we realized we would just never be happy with substitutes and altered (quite drastically) the way we eat and think about food (we have both lost about 30lbs after a few months). I cut out all added sugars and processed foods (anything overly processed in a separate location or with added chemicals). He LOVED meat, pasta and white rice and just quit eating it!... we eat lots of soup with fresh vegetables and beans, a few whole grains (e.g. quinoa...), salads, fish and eggs rarely, very little dairy(only cream in coffee and for me yogurt occasionally), lots of fresh fruit, teas and lots of water... We reasoned that trying to find substitutes and mimic old ways of eating would most likely jeopardize our commitment to our new way of eating and getting healthy...
best of luck to you
