Naughty or Nice? Which of Santa's lists are you on?

This week I want to make 2 lists to help you make decisions at the grocery store. These lists are purposefully short. Many great foods have been left off list 1 and many not so great foods have been left off list 2.

List 1: Foods I’d like to see more on your plate

List 2: Foods I’d like to see less on your plate

Here goes:

1) Foods I’d like to see more on your plate

Broccoli

Greens (Spinach, Kale, Romaine, etc.)

Berries

Brussels Sprouts

Asparagus

Cauliflower

Bell Peppers

Zucchini

A variety of other colorful veggies and fruits

Avocado

Olive Oil

Olives

Wild-caught salmon

Sweet Potatoes

Hemp Seeds

Raw Nuts and seeds (if you can digest them well)

Beans and Legumes (if you can digest them well)

Real foods!

2) Foods I’d like to see less on your plate

Processed foods

Packaged foods

Fast Food

Restaurant foods (with a few exceptions)

Anything with white or refined flour (breads, pastas, pastries, etc.)

Anything with vegetable oils (sunflower, safflower, canola, etc.)

Wheat products

Soda

Pasta

Foods with added sugars

Low fat, low calorie, low sugar “health foods” that aren’t healthy

Meat (controversial, but less overall would be a good bet)

Which list looks more like your day to day diet? How can you take a step toward list 1 or away from list 2?
