Real Food Challenge- Day 26

"Leave something on your plate."

Many of us were told by our parents that we had to clean our plates before leaving the dinner table.  Perhaps we have taken this rule a little too much to heart!  There is an older tradition that said it was more genteel NOT to finish every bite: "Leave something for Mr. Manners", is what some children were told.  Practice NOT cleaning your plate; it will help you eat less in the short term and develop self-control in the long.

Real Food Challenge- Day 24

"Cook."

Cooking your own food is the only sure way to take back control over your diet from the food scientists and food processors.  The only way you can really guarantee that you're eating real food, rather than edible food-like substances, with unhealthy oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and loads of sodium, is to prepare it yourself.  It isn't surprising that the decline in home cooking closely parallels the rise in obesity.

Real Food Challenge- Day 23

"Plant a vegetable garden if you have the space, a window box if you don’t."

Our fast food culture tells us that food should be cheap, fast and easy, and that it is a product of industry, not nature.  If nothing else, plant a single herb in a kitchen window.  Caring for your plant, watching it grow, and eating it's yield is not only going to give you the freshest, most nutritious produce obtainable, but it helps you to appreciate the time it takes to produce real food.

Real Food Challenge- Day 22

"Get out of the supermarket whenever you can."

You won't find processed food products at the farmer's market.  No high fructose corn syrup, no packages with long ingredient lists, nothing microwaveable, and nothing old from far away.  All you'll find are fresh, whole foods, harvested at the peak of their taste and nutritional quality.
