Help yourself eat the right things

Wouldn't hurt. We have bananas and apples on the kitchen counter but right beside it are the cookies and other sweets. I don't partake in those sweets too much, my sweets are in the fridge! In all seriousness, "out of sight, out of mind" is a good rule to live by.

I usually do not buy tempting food, I keep carrots and celery sticks ready to eat in the refrigerator and I always have apples, my favorite fruit.

I thought the veg boxes served a specific purpose? i.e. they kept the veg fresh. I am not sure of the science behind it, but that's what they are there for. Plus I couldn't fit all my chocolate in them anyway.

I am trying hard to eat more fruit and veg. It can be hard sometimes though!!

Anything is worth a try. And don't buy it if you would rather not eat it - referring to biscuits, cakes, etc.

This is pretty neat. I never thought of doing this to help trick yourself into eating healthier. I can't wait to rearrange my own fridge in the morning

I do find that I'll go for the most convenient things, as I'm sure a lot of people do, when I want a snack. My fruit is always on the side in full view at easy to reach level. Sweet treats are in a low cupboard. I wouldn't put anything other than fruit and veg in my fridge's salad bix because everything has to be in a particular place in my fridge! saying that, I don't really have anything unhealthy in there except for butter which is only used for the boys' sandwiches.

Very much worth a try! Or just don't buy the fattening foods at all--that is what I have to do

I have a nice pretty fruit bowl on my kitchen counter filled with a variety of fruits. It looks pretty and is a reminder to pick a fruit to eat rather than go into the cupboard for cookies

As long as I can keep my steak, Brie cheese, sourdough bread, and single malt Scotch whiskey, it's fine with me.

I completely agree with you. I tend to eat what i see near

I don't buy sweets to bring home. Otherwise, I would not eat anything else.

@Auntylou I have my fridge filled with fruit and vegetables and Greek Yogurt. I am trying to change my eating habits. You are right, it does remove temptation when you get rid of the bad stuff.

Sounds like a good idea. I can understand bout the vegetables. When we store them in the drawer at the bottom of the fridg, we forget they are there.

The problem is that when the meat is out of sight, and out of mind, you may have the temptation to buy more when you go grocery shopping. After that when you start to find place for storage, you will dig out all the old stocks of meat.

That is great advice, but we have no fattening or junk food in the house.

True, that should work. I know I've been surprised more than once by what I've found in my fridge or the back of my cupboard.

I can certainly see how that would work.

I agree. Seeing great food on the table increases temptation. But weight has never been an issue for me till date. This is a great tip for a healthy lifestyle.

Out of site just means that I have to look harder to find the good stuff. It's a sound theory, but I'd fail in the willpower department for sure.
