What is in your kitchen?

When I decided to change my lifestyle it began with what I put in my body. Before I would go out to eat and order whatever I wanted from the menu. I would shop for any grocery item without reading labels. I had cereal for breakfast, bread with dinner, ice cream for desert. I believed the commercials and advertisements that stated healthy and whole grain.

Think about it... when was the last time you had a "healthy" meal and you walked away satisfied. Feeling energized and ready to go about your day only to be hungry in less than a hour later.

So you decided to try something different. Well here is your first step...

  1. Take a few hours during the weekend and clear your food items out of your pantry, cabinets, refrigerator and freezer.
  2. Start reading labels of everything you own, review the list below to see if you have anything listed in those items. 
  3. Toss it out, give it away, cook it all and invite friends over. However you decide to do it just get rid of it. 

So what are you looking for? Key items in changing your nutrition are as follows.

Remember this is a lifestyle change!
