Change Foods One At A Time

January 28, 2007

I like the idea of managing things one-at-a-time. My girlfriend Gwenn is painting every person’s portrait, one face at a time.

I just returned 20 (no joke) library books and am switching to a new plan—read one book at a time.

In the previous post I spoke about quitting sugar one bite at a time.

If you still eat sugar and are either not convinced you should quit or are having trouble stopping, I suggest that we (I’m in on this) improve our food intake one food at a time.

That means whatever you eat be VERY AWARE of what’s in it and then think of a way to make it more healthy.

For instance, if you have a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, change the bread to better bread. Try natural unsweetened peanut butter and use a fruit spread that’s sweetened only with fuit juice.

Lots of people who like soda switched to diet to make it “more healthy.” Instead, try fruit juice mixed with sparkling water.

Whatever it is that you are eating or drinking, make it a little better. If you make this a habit, eventually you’ll be eating well.
