> Top Ten Tips for Effortless Healthy Eating by Leanne Ely, C.N.C.

>

> In the world of nutrition, there is a constant stream of information that

> (unfortunately) overwhelms most people. Yes, even nutritionists get

> overloaded with nutritional TMI! Regardless, it still drills down to the

> basics that people often miss in their quest to be healthier. I've thought

> about this a lot as I stroll through the grocery store seeing what people

> have in their carts! It's absolutely mind boggling what constitutes food

> in some people's minds and that they actually paid hard earned money for

> some of this stuff.

>

> So let's get serious and came up with ten things to implement right now

> for better health that won't cost you any money and you won't even have to

> think about (much). Here you go-

>

> 1) First Thirst. Water is cheap, readily available and will boost your

> health, your absorption of nutrients and give you great skin! What's not

> to like about that? Before you order a soda, grab the juice or iced tea,

> drink your water. Water first, then the other stuff. If you really wanna

> save some cash, skip the other stuff entirely.

>

> 2) Big on Breakfast. Eating breakfast gets your metabolism started, your

> appetite handled and consequently, helps you to stabilize, maybe even lose

> weight!

>

> 3) Eat in Season. Fresh fruits and veggies can be expensive, but if you

> buy in season (take advantage of locally grown stuff), you're going to get

> superior quality and less cash outlay!

>

> 4) Watch the Iceberg. There are FAR better lettuces out there. Iceberg is

> nearly nutritionally void. Just let the color GREEN be your guide; the

> greener, the better!

>

> 5) Get Blue. Throw some blueberries on your cereal this week. Blueberries

> have more antioxidants and phytonutrients than any other vegetable or

> fruit on the planet! I like them in my steel cut oats in the morning.

>

> 6) Home Plate. Large salad plates work better for portion control than

> conventional dinner plates. Remember to keep your plate piled with

> veggies, a deck of cards-sized protein source and a fist-sized amount of

> complex carbs.

>

> 7) Brown Outs. Skip the white rice, white flour and sugar. Instead, go

> with whole wheat flour, brown rice and use evaporated cane juice (also

> called Sucanat) instead of regular sugar.

>

> 8) Go Fish. Eat wild fish instead of farm-raised fish to enjoy the

> benefits of omega-3 fatty acids not found in farm-raised. You can find it

> on sale and flash frozen to save money. Wild salmon is an especially

> nutritious choice!

>

> 9) Better Butter. Use half olive oil and butter whipped together. Spreads

> easier, better for you and less saturated fat than regular butter.

>

> 10) Shake the Salt. When cooking, use toward the end of cooking and only

> to taste. Taste your food BEFORE you salt it and if you wanna go hardcore,

> remove the shaker entirely from the table.

> Nothing is more aggravating than marching into your bedroom and flinging

> open your closet doors--to find that you have nothing to wear! Ugh! This

> is not the way to start your day. Instead you want to start your day with

> peace and harmony.

>

> You probably do have a lot of clothes-it's just that nothing either goes

> together or looks quite right! What's a gal to do?!

>

> First, you need to understand why this happens. It's because most likely

> you bought clothes without a plan. Maybe you only purchased clothes

> because they were on sale or when you suddenly needed something.

>

> There's good news and bad news with this scenario. The bad news is that

> you don't know what you have to work with. The good news is many of the

> clothes may work--and you just don't know it!

>

> Here's what we need to do to bring back harmony in our life and our

> wardrobes: Shop in our closet! Stop wasting money on more clothes! Shop in

> your closet first because I'll bet you anything there are lots of great

> things crammed in there!

>

> Let's make it fun! C'mon and join the band and march right back into your

> closet! We're going on a " search and find " mission for wardrobe basics.

> Let's do it the FlyLady Way.fifteen minutes at a time. Set your timers and

> let's go!

>

> Your mission is to pull out the following basic pieces: (you may have more

> than one if they fit well)

>

> At least one great fitting blazer

>

> A denim jacket

>

> White collared button-down shirt

>

> Colorful V-neck tees

>

> Solid lightweight classic sweaters

>

> Classic pair of jeans

>

> A great fitting pair of black pants

>

> A-line skirt (it can be black, floral printed or denim)

>

> A " LBD " (little black dress) in a solid color (it can also be in dark

> brown, gray or any other neutral color) in a simple design, like a sheath

> dress.

>

> Now take these wardrobe basic pieces and play with them! Be creative and

> mix and match them. Pull out jewelry you haven't worn in years. How about

> a belt or a scarf? See how many outfits you can put together!

>

> Nothing starts your day off better than having your clothes set out the

> night before and loving what you are going to wear!

>

> Shopping your closet will save you money and help you find the basic

> pieces that will help you create " new " outfits!
