Happy Spring everyone! Spring is a fantastic time to begin to clean up your eating for a fresh start. Folllow these practical tips to stay lean and healthy:
- Enjoy the spring bounty - Warmer weather provides greater access to fresh whole foods. Increase your consumption of fruits, greens and local garden vegetables.
- Change your focus - Instead of concentrating on what NOT to eat, think about getting more fruits and vegetables into your diet. When you increase your consumption of fresh foods, your body will naturally crave more of them.
- Be a good gatekeeper - Make sure that your pantry and refrigerator contain only fresh, healthy food choices. Don't bring any junk into your home so you and your family won't consume it.
- Do a pantry makeover - Replace plastic and paper packaging with clear glass jars in various sizes. Pasta, grains, herbs, and spices all look irresistable when they are displayed on shelves. Hide labels on the bottom of the containers in order to maintain a clean look.
Now that winter is behind us, we can focus on all the wonderful food choices that emerge in spring. I love this time of year because I know I'll have so much more access to fruits and vegetables. Celebrate spring!
