FOODS TO REMOVE FROM YOUR KITCHEN

FOODS TO REMOVE FROM YOUR KITCHEN
With all this talk of Paleo…I thought I’d give you a list of foods that you should get rid of that are probably in your kitchen. Feel bad about throwing things away? Donate them to your local homeless shelter!
§ White and brown rice
§ Pasta…yes, even whole-grain
§ Breakfast cereals and cereal-based nutrition bars
§ Granola and granola bars
§ Instant mashed potato
§ High carbohydrate condiments and salad dressings: make your own salad dressings!
§ Polenta, couscous, bulgur wheat, and other grains
§ Bread (including whole wheat and whole grain), breadsticks, croutons, and tortillas (if you must do tortillas, buy gluten free corn tortillas)
§ Bagels, donuts, croissants
§ Ice cream, sorbet, tofu ice cream, and popsicles
§ Potato chips, corn chips, popcorn, pretzels and crackers
§ Cake, coffee cake, cookies, cupcakes, and other sweets
§ Candy, candy bars, sugary mints

§ Cornstarch
§ Sugar and artificial sweeteners : Use honey or agave nectar.
§ Juice (including orange juice and apple juice)
§ Sugary sodas: all sodas, yes even diet!
§ Sweetened yogurt: aka: “American” yogurt. Dannon or Yoplait brands are NOT yogurt. If you want to have some yogurt now and then go for the Greek stuff.
