Making Better Choices-simple and sweet

So, let's substitute our poor choice of food for a great choice of food!

Poor Choice VS  Great Choice:
White bread.............Whole wheat bread or / ancient grains
White rice................Brown rice or Quinoa
Sugared cereal.........Unsweetened bran cereal topped with fruit
Apple juice..............Apple with skin
White pasta.............Whole wheat pasta
Soda..................... ..Water or water infused with fruit (cranberries and lime slices)

The great choices are packed with fiber and other nutrients and are much more filling. When we eat the "white stuff" such as white bread - your blood sugar rises and falls. This usually causes us to feel hungrier and eat more than needed! The great choices keep our blood sugar levels on a nice even path to better health!
