Forking out the extra bucks at the grocery store!

What is your health worth?  You always hear the saying "You are what you eat".  Most people would rather ignore this statement and eat whatever they want or "diet" whenever they want on a low carb, high protein, low fat, etc....plan!  Each one of our bodies needs healthy whole & clean foods. 

When you’re at the grocery store I want you to think to yourself when buying your items on your list.  Ask yourself, is $1 more per pound worth losing 11% fat when purchasing my lean ground beef?  Is spending the extra money worth the benefits of your health?  I know eating clean and healthy can be more expensive and in today's economy there isn't a whole lot of extra money to be spent in extra areas.  Just think about this one thought.....if you can spend $3 on a coffee, $5 on a quick fast food lunch, $15 on high blood pressure or cholesterol prescription, then ask yourself... what is my health worth?

I want to challenge you to check out your nutritional labels on your food items and recipes when cooking.  Try to make recipes with clean, lean & fresh ingredients.  Try to purchase then leanest meats possible, the heartiest breads, the fresh ground peanut butters or almond butters, the whole wheat pasta's, brown rice's, etc....
Try to have fun & be creative with your meal preparation.  Make it a chore and a challenge to buy clean and eat clean so that you can lead a clean and healthy life!  More than one third of U.S. adults—more than 72 million people—and 16% of U.S. children are obese.  30% of children aged 2-19 are considered overweight or obese and it has been estimated than 1 in 3 children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime!
You have full control of your body and what you put into it! 
What can you do to change your ways of eating and grocery shopping to help you and your family eat their way to a healthier lifestyle?
