GET THE CRAP OUT OF THE KITCHEN

GET THE CRAP OUT OF THE KITCHEN!

STEP 1: GET RID OF PROCESSED FOOD!

No matter how good they look and taste, there is no nutritional value in potato chips, Cheetos, canned soups, etc.  Get them out of the house! Removing high fat and high sugar foods means removing the temptations…especially for late night snackers!

STEP 2: NO OPEN BAGS!

I will be the first to admit, if there is a huge open bag of almonds, I will continue to eat handfuls and not even realize it.  Yes, almonds are a healthy fat, but NOT 5 HANDFULS!  So….solve this by having snack size bags with PORTIONS already counted out.  This way we can avoid over eating.  Do this for any type of food you find yourself wanting to constantly dig into!

STEP 3: PUT THE HEALTHY FOOD WHERE YOU CAN REACH IT.

Ever hear of the saying, out of sight out of mind??  Well, if we hide the healthy foods in the fridge or cabinet behind the unhealthy ones, DUH then we will clearly forget about making the right decision.  Portion it out, and put it in the front of the fridge!

STEP 4: SMART SUBSTITUTES
