You answered no to question #1:
1. Have you stocked your kitchen for healthy cooking?
The key to a healthy nutrition plan is having everything you need to put together a healthy meal or snack when hunger strikes. Make a few simple substitutions:
-- Replace ice cream, cookies and other sweets with low-fat versions of those foods, and fill the fridge with fruits and vegetables.
-- Replace dairy products with low-fat versions of the same items.
-- Instead of ground beef, pork and other high-fat meats, purchase leaner cuts, such as sirloin, pork tenderloin and white-meat poultry.
-- Replace condiments like mayonnaise with spicy mustards, flavored vinegars and fruit chutneys.
-- Stock up on herbs and spices to add flavor to your meals, and you won't need oil or added fats.
-- Swap beverages like soda and high-sugar juices for calorie-free seltzer, bottled water or 100-percent juice with no added sugar.
-- Trade cooking oils for fat-free butter-flavor cooking spray and butter or margarine for reduced-fat spreads.
