Gremlin in the Kitchen: Cupboard Cleanse

Diet Rehab does not happen overnight.

It involves ridding my diet of certain foods and introducing new ones to it.

For example, this week I finished my package of pasta.  The next time I go shopping, I will be looking for whole wheat noodles made with as few preservatives as possible. Buying fresh, organic pasta would be even better, but I do not think my local grocer has anything like that in his store.

Diet Rehab also involves education and finding out why some foods are more nutritious than others. Fortunately, I had my teacher, Meghan, come over to my apartment last week and give me a lesson.

She went through my cupboards and my fridge and helped me sort out the real food from the junk.

For more information about what you should keep in your cupboards and what you should ditch, please visit the National Post blog, The Appetizer.

Ps. Shout out to Meghan for her fantastic recording and editing skills!

PPs. Shout out to Tunde who provided me with a link to an article about why Flu Shots Don’t Work–especially for kids.  I’ll be giving that a close read today and I hope to respond to it within the next few days. Thanks!
