How To Diet-Proof Your Kitchen

(BlackDoctor.org) — Before you can fill your fridge with healthy food, you need to make room by dumping all the not-so-good-for-you junk.  If you keep it, it will get eaten. So grab a garbage bag and get rid of foods that are bound to sabotage your diet.

Fish, Meat and Poultry
Trash: Bacon, pulled pork, any cuts of beef that have a lot of fatty marbling, fried chicken and fried fish.

Stash: Skinless chicken breast, lean ground turkey, turkey hotdogs, fish or shellfish. Poultry and fish are the leanest animal proteins you can eat.  If you cannot imagine your life without steak, choose lean cuts of grass-fed meat.

Condiments
Trash: Sauces, gravies, spreads or dressing containing mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese sauce, cream and any condiment with more than 4 grams of sugar per serving.  Also avoid condiments where high fructose corn syrup is listed within the first five ingredients.  High fructose corn syrup triggers your body to store more fat.

Stash: Fresh garlic, salt, pepper, low-sodium soy sauce, wine vinegar, virgin olive oil, apple butter and balsamic vinegar.  You don’t need to kick ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce and salad dressing to the curb.  Look for versions of these common condiments in the organic section for products that don’t contain high fructose corn syrup.
