Potlucks are BAD!

I just got back from a party for some former coworkers who are retiring. It's the first time I have eaten bad in two weeks and I am feeling the effects of it. BLECH! This is truly proof to me that I am heading in the right direction. I feel shaky, out of sorts and have a headache. I will remember this whenever I am tempted to stray. And the funny thing is that I didn't think I over did it. I guess I didn't realize that even small amounts of sugar/hfcs and processed foods have such a great effect on our systems! It was a big lesson to me and makes me stronger in my resolve!

And now onto RULE 6: Avoid food products that contain more than five ingredients.
Usually the more ingredients the more processed it is, leading to more chemicals and such. BUT be careful of marketing ploys as a few companies are now promoting their short ingredient lists as healthy like Haagen-Dazs and Frito-Lay...so there are some exceptions to this rule. These foods we will talk about later in rule 60 pertaining to treats.

Ok...that's it for today...I need to get off the pc and take care of this headache.

Have a great weekend, and stop by tomorrow for more encouragement LOL ...ciao!
