What you should have in your fridge!


I've said it before, and I have to mention it again. Keeping your fridge and house clean of  "bad" foods is the easiest way to stay away from them. So, when you have gotten rid of all the calorie dense, processed, non nutrient foods, what should you fill up your fridge with? This a list of what I usually have in my fridge:





- Big bottle of cold lime\fruit water
- Fresh fruits, fresh and frozen veggies

- Lean meat (chicken breast, eye fillets, turkey, pork, Aldi's 5% fat lean mince)
- Fish \ tuna in spring water
- Low fat cottage cheese
- Low fat, low sugar, low calorie yogurts
- Eggs
- Frozen berries (for smoothies etc)
- Minced garlic, chili & ginger
- Sauces (ex soy, hoy sin, salsa, cranberry, oyster, & apple sauces).
- If needed: Fish oil, calcium, multivitamins.
- Macadamia nut oil
- (Ice cold beer and pepsi max)


Putting this on your shopping list is a step in the right direction for starting a healthier lifestyle. Next article I am working on brings up an important question: Getting in shape, whats more important: exercise or diet?

Recent research say that Exercise in general doesn’t really do much in helping weight loss. Adding cardio type exercise to a weight loss diet doesn’t always increase the weight loss results. Cardio or weight training doesn’t really affect weight loss. It’s essentially always comes back to diet, and calories in vs calories out. Some people may totally disagree in this, and it's a interesting question!
