Jabber for me it is ice cream, candy and pretzels. And any other high carb processed foods. Switching to organic peanut butter, no sugar added. Trick is to stir it up good and refrigerate it to keep it firm. Not as tasty as Jif but much healthier.
Also am getting away from processed foods. Trying to cut back on all the chemicals added to our food.
Avoiding high fructose corn syrup.
I don't drink regular soda but am cutting way back on diet soda.
Finding snack substitutes is a challenge. So far I have found some organic blue corn chips that have little to no sugar, nuts, some kind of organic low sugar content chocolate type chip. Mama made some trail mix with the nuts, raisins, chocolate chips and goji berries.
Other then salads which I eat everyday for lunch, I am not much of a veggie guy but the nutribullet has some interesting recipes that involve lots of greens and some fruit that are mega nutritious and aren't bad. Note, I didn't say they were delicious. but certainly drinkable.
My goals are to lose weight, get my joints to stop aching, have more energy and drive and get off cholesterol meds. Would be nice is urinary function was better and to get my PSA'a down.
Organic eating is proving pricey but a few things I have noticed. I am eating less so we buy less. Planning is important for meals and shopping, something we were terrible at but are working at together. I am less concerned with natural carbs then I was before on carbs in general. Because the sugar intake is way less, I figure I can do some more carbs.
Organic rice pasta seems like a great substitute for traditional pasta.
As to the cost, I figure if I can be more efficient at work because of added drive, I will easily offset the cost.
