I suppose those two terms have different meaning because sometimes they cannot replace one another. Can you tell me their definitions?

Lifestyle is a choice. Way of life is the way things are -- whether you like it or not!

A "way of life" is generally something imposed on a person by his/her circumstances. A " lifestyle" is generally the choice certain people, who can afford it, make about their manner of living. You can be poor and lonely and make that "your lifestyle" if you chose to live it and are not forced into it by your situation.

Way of Life- to me means the way you are living your life in the aspect of class/ economy and society issues as far as the logistics of making a living
LIFE STYLE to me means the moral and way of life you choose or possibly the heritage or traditions and ethnic ways of life.
some thing of lifestyles like alternative, gay etc... as lifestyles as the style you take on!
