Miscellaneous tips on food prep, snacks

Miscellaneous:

Microwave ovens are unhealthy on a number of fronts. Ditch them and use a regular oven, toaster oven, or stove.

Store food in glassware and non-plastic materials as much as possible.

Drink well before or well after your meal; additional liquids prevent the key nutrients from food from being absorbed fully.

Get fruit juices and vegetable juices that are 100 % natural AND No additional sugar

Some ideas for appropriate 'in between' meal snacks;


When you eat regularly--5 small meals a day is recommended--you reduce your hunger
