Try Natural Fruit Over Sweets

I’ve just been informed by my boyfriend that he and his mother are going to Weight Watchers, which would be great news if they hadn’t been several times previously and can never follow it through.

Although I had little faith in them I had to show my support, and said that I would get rid of all their cookie, candy and the like. Now I suffer from being underweight so a heap of it went home with me, and I still threw stacks away. No wonder they needed to go to Weight Watchers!

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.

It’s always a worry that food might spoil before you get it eaten. There are two things you can do here; either buy it in smaller quantities or do what I do, always keep in frozen fruit juice and dried and frozen fruits.

So if you want to look and feel great, do as my boyfriend and his mom have done, replace the cupboards full of candy with bowls of fruit.

Ditching your candy for fruit will be tough at first, but you’ll get there. It’s just like breaking any bad habit, except this one will have a great effect on your health.
