Challenge Yourself
Dump Processed Meals
- Posted on June 27, 2012
Processed meals are full of preservatives and have lower health benefits. Shopping in the perimeter of your local grocery store can help you prevent purchasing processed foods.
Challenge: For the first week just keep a list of all the ready meals you consume. The next week try to swap these processed foods with fresh foods you actually need to cook. Try not to fry foods, instead go choose vegetables you can boil or steam and meats you can grill or roast. You have successfully completed this challenge when you have not eaten processed food for 20 days during one month. Most people find that once they’ve made the transition to healthy habits they never look back.
