Transform Your Refrigerator

You do not have to give up all the foods you are used to eating to become healthier and to start eating raw, organic and live foods. You know the best place to start changing your life and your diet. It is at the grocery store, of course. Even if you are at a good weight and healthy, take a tip from dieters. Go shopping with a list and do not go to the grocery store hungry. Make sure this shopping trip you can resist those Oreos and potato chips.

Clean out your refrigerator and your cabinets. Throw out the half-empty bags of snack foods. Put any microwaveable foods in a dark bag and stash them somewhere in the back of the freezer. Out of sight, out of mind.

Do stock up on dried fruits and nuts for snacking. Transform your kitchen from a processed food haven to a healthy kitchen. Invest in a good juicer. Clean out those crisper drawers to get them ready for an influx of new organic and raw foods.

Load up on fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. If you cannot give up meat and fish, consider getting super fresh tuna that you can just sear and serve with sesame seeds and a small amount of soy sauce. (I am getting hungry just thinking about this!)

Make eating this way fun. Invest in those big, white square dishes that are good for serving sushi. It is easier to arrange small portions of different foods that way. In addition, getting new white dishes will be symbolic of this new, purer way of eating. Get some good chopsticks so you can take your time eating? This is fun!

Go to a bookstore and get a cookbook or a food book so you can learn about eating raw foods. Buy a big vase and a bunch of sunflowers to symbolize letting the sun into your diet.
