Taming Your Cravings

Try these suggestions to “cleanse” your kitchen of foods that aren’t friendly to help you sustain your healthy lifestyle:

* Plan a monthly cupboard cleaning to throw away any unhealthy foods that have mysteriously sneaked backed in.

* If foods are still packaged, consider bringing them into your parent's home or office to share it with your family members and co-workers.

* Make it clear to yourself that you will not buy unhealthy foods. Instead, try snacking on vegetables and fruits.

* Don’t allow yourself to succumb to impulse buys when shopping: Avoid the grocery aisles that contain chips, cookies, and other sweets. Instead, shop the perimeter of the store, where the fresh fruits and vegetables are typically sold.
