Let's See What's In Your Pantry
When was the last time you checked your pantry to see exactly what you have stored there. A lot of people just keep adding to their pantry and not taking stock of what they have in the back, sitting there and possibly having an expiry date.
From our newsletters you are going to make changes to the way your eat. This is not a diet, but weight will be lost if you take the time to read the labels, watch your fats (saturated and trans), cholesterol, sodium,carbohydrates, fibre and sugars). This healthy change will become second nature to you.
You may be thinking that this could become complicated. It's Not! It's just a matter of measuring and reading your food labels carefully and choosing the best possible. Once you become accustomed to the product and it's content labels it just a matter of stocking them in your pantry. If by chance, you change the name brand, you will again need to read the labels, because every canned and boxed foods are produced differently for preservation of the food. Some are higher in sodium content, others with higher saturated and trans fats.
This healthy way of eating is somewhat like the "Canada's Food Guide", but also for a healthy heart and body. There is also a "Create Your Own Food Guide" which is an interactive tool that will help you personalize the information found in the "Canada's Food Guide."
