Number One Tip to Healthy Eating!

Friends, listen up!

It’s time for a little tough love.  If I could give you just one piece of advice to make your healthy eating lifestyle easier, it would be to CLEAN UP YOUR KITCHEN!  Clean up my kitchen you say?  You mean wipe down the counters, empty the dishwasher and get the dishes out of the sink?

Um, no.

I’m talking about getting the junk out of your house.  Get rid of the food that you can’t resist, the food that calls out to you “eat me, you’ve had a bad day and you deserve to feel better and eating tons of junk will make you feel better”.

Or will it??  You only THINK it will make you feel better, but you know for a fact that once you take that first bite, it’s game over and you’re going to go to town … And you’re going to regret it when you’re completely stuffed of junk, bloated, feeling heavy and now depressed because you’ve lost control.  Tell me exactly why you had all that junk food sitting around your kitchen, within reach of your weak self?

I get it, you bought it in a strong moment and assured yourself you would be smarter this time.

Or maybe you have “goodies” around for your spouse or children.  Either way, you know that if it’s anywhere within reach, the chances are high that at some point you’re going to give in and eat it.

Again, the number one strategy for staying on track for healthy eating is to get the junk out of your house! 

If you don’t have access to it, you won’t eat it!

Anything processed, sugary, artificial, etc. needs to be tossed immediately!  Instead, keep healthy foods and snacks readily available, not only for yourself, but for your family members as well.

So next time you think you’re hungry, have the munchies, get cravings or are just bored and looking to snack, grab a few raw nuts, organic grape tomatoes, or a piece of fruit instead of junk.  After all, out of sight, out of mind, and OUT OF REACH will help you achieve your goals instead of sabotaging them!
