Wash It...

Members Were Sparked

Take your temptation of choice to the kitchen sink and run it under the water from the faucet for a minute. If it's still there when a minute is up eat it.

Washable Foods

If you can’t wash it… don’t eat it. You can wash an apple, but have you ever tried to wash a cookie? In theory you can wash a steak, but you can’t wash mashed potatoes. Limit the amount of non-washable foods (don’t eliminate… just limit the amount). It sounds strange but think about it! Have Fun!

MORE INFORMATION:
Washable: fruit, meats, whole grains, veggies, all stay in tacked when washed. Non-Washable: sodas, cake, chips, icecream. you wouldn’t want to eat them after a washing. yuck!
Of course there are anomalies. Hardcandy can be washed, but should you eat it? Milk can't be washed but is good for you.

Wash it and stop the urge!

When I have an urge to eat and I am only in the mood for sugary or greasy treats, I wash things. If the food makes it through the wash, then I can eat it. Imagine washed potoato chips, washed cookies, donuts and cakes. YUCK! But a washed piece of fruit or veggies? DELICIOUS!

MORE INFORMATION:
Of course, people will say that you can wash some things that are unhealthy, but no chocolate bar stands up to a hot wash with soapy water! It is so easy and so helpful.
