I can try to explain by offering an example. Let's say I'm having veggie stir fry for dinner. As a newbie to the diet, I would eat mostly white rice and a small portion of veggies, with acacia mixed now. Now that I'm basically stable, I have exchanged most, if not all, of my white rice for brown. I have also increased the veggie portion and decreased the rice portion. Again, I mix in my acacia. As another example, when I eat veggie burgers, I have traded my white buns for whole wheat buns (or a "hybrid" bun: half white, half wheat, DH eats the other halves!).
Does that make sense? It's all about slowly changing the ratio of SF to IF as you are increase your acacia. I highly doubt you'll ever be able to ELIMINATE SF foods and rely solely on acacia, but you won't need as much with each meal.
Hope that helps!
