More tips on how to eat… (40-45)

40. Always have vegetables on hand. Saute a big bag of frozen mixed vegetables in olive oil and garlic. Add some red pepper or turmeric for additional flavor and separate into portion-sized containers for the fridge.

41. Edamame (soy beans) are a great low-cost snack. Look for them in the frozen foods section.

42. Soups can be both filling and comforting. Try making a garden or bean soup with low-salt broth and store in portion-sized cups for later.

43. Save time and money during the week by buying lean protein such as chicken breasts in bulk and cooking a week's worth on Sunday night.

44. Save the kitchen and the dining room table for cooking and eating. Try not to use it as a place to do work or other activities, or you may be tempted to eat more.

45. If food was your only source of pleasure, make sure to reconnect with other things you enjoy -- music, sports, volunteer work or movies, for example.

The Importance of Eating Organic – The Dirty Dozen

#3: What about processed food? 

Do I have to buy those organic?  The average American consumes processed food daily and it is important to understand that every package of processed food contains canola, soy, or corn in some form. This implies that processed foods that do not carry the USDA Organic mark contains food that is genetically modified. Take time to be concerned of your health and avoid buying processed food at all. When you do purchase processed foods, avoid buying products that lists corn, soy and canola as an ingredient and take into consideration buying 100% certified organic to avoid eating food that is genetically modified.
