Clear Yoour Kitchen Cupboards Of Temptation

Clear Yoour Kitchen Cupboards Of Temptation

By:


Let’s be honest – going through your kitchen cupboards and hiding away all the ‘bad’ foods won’t be enough to keep you on the straight and narrow. You need to physically ‘eject’ these foods of temptation from the house – into the bin. It’s no good thinking that you’ll ‘just’ finish these off and then start afresh. Remember; on this Program you want maximum results in minimum time. Don’t set yourself back. It may sound extreme, but if these foods are still to hand they’ll eventually end up in your mouth.
 
Make a plan. Start with your fridge. Take one shelf at a time and pull out anything that you know to be less than healthy. Focus on packaged meals, sweet foods, microwave meals and convenience food. This might include cheese slices, flavoured yoghurts, pizzas, ready meals and puddings. If you don’t like waste then simply put these products into the bottom drawer of your freezer. That way you make it harder to eat them on a whim without thinking, and you don’t have to waste money by binning them.
 
Now move on to your cupboards. Again look for processed foods. Pick out anything made from white flour – white bread, baps, hot cross buns, white rice, and cheap pasta. Pull out spreads, jams, sauces and anything that has high sugar content. If in doubt read individual labels and view the carbohydrate ‘of which sugars’ value. If this information isn’t available simply use your own judgement. If a product tastes sweet or is particularly salty, chances are it is bad and you don’t need it in your diet. Put these products in the bin. If necessary, create your own shelf in the kitchen where you can separate your healthier options from the rest of the family.
           
This exercise isn’t meant to rid your life of every fun and exciting item of food forever. It’s simply designed to give you a clean slate on which to begin your healthy eating plan, away from the temptation of instant snacks high in sugar, salt and processing. Left sitting around these items will only hamper your progress.
 
FOLLOW THESE GENERAL RULES:
 
If you think or know that a food product in your hand didn’t come straight from the ground, the sea or an animal, the chances are that it is processed, fake food, filled with addictive additives, flavourings and colourings. PUT IT DOWN AND WALK AWAY. If you continue to eat it, be aware that this food is putting you further away from your healthy goals.
 
If you need further proof or confirmation, take a look at the product’s ingredient list. The more mysterious and unpronounceable ingredients listed, the more unhealthy and processed this product will be.
 
Anything stating ‘fat free’, ‘reduced fat’, ‘sugar free’, ‘added’ or ‘fortified with’ vitamins, and ‘xx% fat free’ is processed food. Pure, untampered food does not require such statements.
 
Here are the foods, at a glance, that you need to reduce or cut from your diet, if you are to get the most from this program, both nutritionally and physically. PLEASE take note of these foods and see just how many or few of these feature regularly in your diet AND kitchen cupboards!
