BALANCE IN EATING

Review the introduction to food categories and the Real Foods list. Jot down on paper what you ate yesterday. Don’t labor over it and don’t bother with amounts. You want to check balance, not calories. Now classify each food you ate into one of the four food groups in the Real Foods list. (i.e. dairy, grains, etc.). Is any group completely missing? Any group over-represented? Are fresh fruits and fresh vegetables rare or missing at times? (The foods you can eat without any concern about balance are fruits and vegetables.) Start a shopping list to fill in the gaps. Keep balance in mind when you order a meal out. Put fresh fruits out where you can see them at home and/ or at the office. In the car carry portable foods you tend to miss. Be creative. There are a thousand ways to achieve balance and some very important rewards!

“Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it every day and at last we cannot break it.” Horace Mann

Food for Thought: Quality and variety plus balance.
