These suggestions here are one piece of the puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>Long term, if I stop buying the dangerous food, the market will respond. I vote at least 3 times a day, 365 days a year for what kinds of foods I want to eat. That\u2019s a LOT of clout. And if I stop buying the foods and ingredients that make me sick\u2014they\u2019ll stop selling it to me. No, that doesn\u2019t help me today as I go into the grocery store, but my daily votes count and will affect what our grocery stores look like the next year, the next decade and for the younger generations.<\/p>\n<p>Short term, that\u2019s where the real challenge is. The nice thing about addictive foods, if I don\u2019t buy it\u2014it won\u2019t be there in my cabinets to tempt me. So, I grit my teeth while I am in the grocery store and hang in there. Resist temptation for the whatever minutes I am in the store and then at least the temptation won\u2019t be calling my name all the hours I am at home.<\/p>\n<p>For everyone it is different, but as my body feels better from cleaner, healthier food, my taste buds will change and I will crave the clean foods and not like the junk.<\/p>\n<p>That said, truly, this is one of the most difficult steps\u2014stop buying the highly processed foods. Tactics to support you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do most of your shopping in the produce aisle.<\/li>\n<li>Take it one step at a time. What\u2019s easiest? Find a new snack? breakfast food? dinner? lunch? Pick one thing and get success with that. Don\u2019t tackle everything at once.<\/li>\n<li>Start reading the ingredients list on the package. Does it start with sugar or corn syrup? Can I understand what even half of those ingredients are? If I don\u2019t know what those long technical names are, remind myself those are the ingredients added in to get me addicted<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a7Wh3uq1yTc\">(60 Minutes segment)<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>and will make me sick (some of those hard to read ingredients are derived from oil\u2014yes, the stuff I put in my gas tank) so put it back on the shelf.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not easy to find processed foods that are free of artificial ingredients. The Feingold Association has created a booklet listing foods that are free of artificial preservatives, food colorings and flavorings.<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.feingold.org\/overview.php\">Joining the Association<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>includes the grocery guide.<\/li>\n<li>Make time to cook. Turn off The Screens\u2014whatever they may be and get my butt in the kitchen. Try new recipes. It has become more common to watch a cooking show than to cook nowadays.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t know how to cook? Find a class. No class? Pull one together. Guaranteed there are others who also want to learn and people who would love to teach about healthy cooking and eating.<\/li>\n<li>Buy single ingredient food for snacks: raisins, nuts, bananas, apples, cucumbers, carrots, oranges, foods that are in season. A snack does NOT have to come inside plastic packaging.<\/li>\n<li>Eat wickedly fresh food!<span>\u00a0<\/span><a title=\"Grow Food\" href=\"http:\/\/035e6ee.netsolhost.com\/WordPress\/transitions\/make-it-affordable\/grow-food\/\">Grow your own food.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>Pick your own at a farm.
