Prepping: Day 4 - JILL’S FOOD SELECTIONS FOR THE CHALLENGE

MAKING YOUR SHOPPING LIST

CHALLENGE STARTS IN 3 DAYS!!!

I’m sure you’re thinking about shopping for your meals soon. Please, keep in mind, whether your CHALLENGE is diet related or not, there’s some foods I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you keep on your shopping list as staples during your CHALLENGE.

Whenever you put the body under stress, be it mental, physical, emotional, etc., it puts more demands on your nervous system. Trust me, when your pumping iron, changing your eating habits, or giving up anything which has been used as a ‘crutch,’ or comfort for any length of time, let alone months, or perhaps years, it will tax your nervous system. So let’s help the body out during this process, shall we?

SIMPLE THINGS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

“LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE, AND MEDICINE BE YOUR FOOD”        - Hippocrates

I’m with Hippocrates all the way. Food is for nourishing, so let’s nourish the nervous system with food which will allow it to run on high gear, while feeding and rebuilding, at the same time. If you’re like me, I’m all about multi-tasking, and one-stop shopping, so this only makes sense.

TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU BUY

Food must be cared for. The food I have listed I call ‘LIVE’ food. Educate yourself on the proper washing, and storage, to get the most from your purchase, and the most benefits for your body. If you find something in your fridge that looks suspicious, I say

“WHEN IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!”

Don’t take a chance on eating spoiled food. 

Happy shopping!!!!!
