Are you stuck in a rut with the same old foods day in day out?
Every fruit and every vegetable has its own arsenal of disease-busting weapons. So how can you get the most out of what nature has to offer? How do you expand your repertoire of “healthy foods I will eat”?
Cut and paste my list to create your own list of “healthy foods I will eat.” Your own list of foods will gradually take you out of the cucumber and tomato mentality into a whole new eating experience…
You’ll be able to create in 5 minutes, a healthy meal that any restaurant would be proud of. When you go shopping, you’ll now have your whole list on your mental “radar” and you’ll be open to new ideas and even bargains in the market.
And whereas before, these strange fruits and vegetables would go rotten in the fridge because you didn’t know what to do with them—now you have a plan!
Oh, and please don’t write to me and tell me that mushrooms aren’t a vegetable or that cherimoya and custard apple are actually 2 different fruits… I’m keeping things simple here :-)
Plus, you’ll may notice that some foods appear in more than one category. Well, the categories are there to tie in with the Habit Guide diet, so it keeps everything easy to put a meal together.
