Resist Temptations

Are you a junk food freak? If your family loves eating ice cream, chips, cookies, and other unhealthy (but tempting!) foods, it’s almost impossible to prevent them from reappearing in your cupboards. The solution to this unhealthy diet or should I say splurges is to create a temptation-free kitchen.

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

* If foods are still packaged, consider bringing them into your office to give to coworkers.

* Make it clear to your family that certain unhealthy foods must not be brought into the house.

* 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.

Of course, temptation will be present wherever you are — whether you’re at work, a friend’s house, or on the road. Just learn how to face these temptations and try to avoid junkies as much as possible. If you can't resist, just eat in moderation-okay?
