My boyfriend has just told me that he and his mother are going back to Weight Watchers, again! This is a regular thing that they do and have never stuck to it yet.
Even though I had heard it all before I had to be supportive so went round to their house and removed all the candies, cookies etc. I couldn’t believe how much there was? I threw a lot away but took quite a bit to my house, as I am underweight.
I felt that they needed to discuss what foods they would have in the house so neither felt like they were missing out. My boyfriend was as laid back as ever and said he would have anything, his very picky mother was very agreeable when I suggested fruit!
Fruits are the perfect snack. They can easily be popped in your bag and when you get that mid morning or afternoon yearning for something sweet. Reach for them instead of the bars of food. Junk food is just another way of describing convenience foods, so make your fruit as convenient by always having some with you.
A good tip to make sure that you eat plenty is to keep a bowl in a prominent place near a door so you will always see it on your way out and grab some.
Fruit can go off quickly, especially in hot weather. I counteracted this by always having a supply of frozen and dried fruits, as well as frozen juice.
There are so many health benefits from fruit, and so many different ways to prepare it that you should never get bored with it. So do what these two have done and swap candy for fruit.
Getting out of the habit of eating candy will be tough at first but you will soon start to feel the difference in yourself that plenty of fresh fruit brings.
