A Clean Start


It's a New Year! It's a New Better You! Every January, we have a desire to start over and purge the old. It's a new year, a new beginning, and a fresh start. I guess that is why we clean our closets and make New Year's resolutions like getting in shape and eating right.


Are you starting the Better You Nutrition Team Challenge? Then, a great way to jump in is to clean out your fridge and pantry. Did I just say that? Yep...just do it! Clean the fridge and pantry of any NON Paleo approved foods/products. (for more information of the approved foods check out http://whole9life.com/) Remove all processed foods. It is daunting at first, but it is well worth it. Not only will you have a clean pantry/fridge, but you will learn what your temptations are, and what you have been putting into your body. As you are getting rid of foods, look at the labels and ingredients. Familiarize yourself with what is not healthy about them. This will encourage you and help you recognize poor food choices for the future. There is an added bonus too - it will get you off to a great start for the challenge! Bye, Bye old ways!


Don't forget, if you are purging your pantry, consider donating your food items to a local food pantry!
