CLEAN OUT YOUR KITCHEN PANTRY

Let's face facts.  You know you have food in your kitchen right now that shouldn't be there.  I'm not talking about expired dates.  I am talking about foods you know you shouldn't eat.  Whether they are unhealthy for you or something that will sabotage your diet, you know they are there!  Get them out of your house and don't bring them back in - ever!  Give them away, if you have a hard time throwing food away.  If you can't bring yourself to toss food in the trash, box them up and take them to your local food bank or other charity; just get rid of them!

Do yourself a favor first.  Do not attempt this when you are hungry.  This should be done after a meal.  There is no need to test your resolve by trying to get rid of your favorites when you are hungry!

Here is a partial list of things that need to go.  The list will be different for everyone depending on one's health or dietary needs, but this is a good beginning for anyone:
  • white rice
  • regular pastas
  • sugary treats
  • high-fat foods
  • sugary cereals
  • sugary beverages
  • buttery microwave popcorn
  • regular potato chips (baked are okay in some circumstances)
  • canned fruits in syrup
  • refined white breads
  • canned veggies loaded with salt and/or sugar
