The secret to successful healthy eating is what you have on hand!

What do you have in the fridge right now? Is it food in its natural state (fruit, vegetables, lean meat, eggs) or do you have an array of boxes and containers that you are eating from?

Open the fridge door and work out how much natural food you have. How much of what you can see can you change and do better?

Are you ready to clean out your fridge and take your healthy eating seriously? For many people it's a big step, but an empowering one to get rid of all that crap that you know you shouldnt be eating!

Go on - I challenge you to clear it out!!

    Milk, eggs, yoghurts, cheese, ham, fruit juice (for my husband and daughter, I don't drink it) and a load of veg. Some of the veg will disappear into the guinea pigs though lol.

    The things in my fridge that I own: milk, eggs, carrots and a forgotten jar of strawberry jam (from before I discovered peanut butter and apple sandwiches!). I usually have more stuff but I'm going away for a month starting next week, so I have to plan a little, plus it's been some time since I went shopping properly (and I mostly use the freezer anyway).

    Then there's my flatmate's half-forgotten vegetable stash (which will probably go out of date before she remembers it) and a surplus piece of cake. Another flatmate has a loaf of white bread, butter, cheese, a number of cans of coke, five or six bottles of condiments, an opened tin of pineapple and probably a lot of other seemingly random items.

    Great idea!
    Living in my fridge (not including cupboard stuff like cereal)...
    MEAT! Turkey bacon, lean bacon, parma ham, chicken breasts (frozen so technically in the freezer) and some trout.
    Salad leaves
    Cucumber
    Tomatoes
    Nuts
    Dried apricots
    Low Fat Probiotic Plain Yoghurt (Greek style)
    Low Sugar Yoghurts (flavoured)
    Blueberries
    Skimmed Milk
    Guacamole
    Pesto
    Mustard
    Eggs


    I don't buy too much rubbish as of last week because I noticed I was eating low calorie processed crap, so started eating Low GI instead. It's more "expensive" calorie-wise, but I feel so much better since I started!
