Is your kitchen less attractive than it used to be? Do you find yourself spending less time in it? Has your kitchen held up as a healthy haven that encourages nutritional eating and smart choices? Or has it sagged into a calorie-packed danger zone that uses up space and heat so you can reach in and grab whatever food you find in its depths?
You can restore the healthy magic back into your kitchen. Thankfully, no walls need to be knocked down and you can keep that lime green paint you've enjoyed for the past 10 years.
Beyond the fridge and the pantry, a healthy kitchen involves a number of other items and a lot of smart organization. See how many of these you have right now, and then see how you can slowly add more over time:
- Pictures of your goals on the fridge
- Healthy cookbooks
- Very visible grocery list
- Coupon envelope or storage system
- NO pizza coupons
- Easy-to-read and categorized recipe box or book
- Full set of measuring cups and spoons
- NO television in the kitchen or eating area (distractions can cause overeating)
- Usable kitchen table--free of clutter, bills, book bags, and projects
- Spice rack and spices
- Water filter
- Snack bowl on the counter, for all of those fresh fruits and healthy snacks you'll have
