Which food choices are free choices to munch on or use to season my dishes?
Mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions can be used freely throughout the day. You can also add cucumbers, garlic, asparagus, and that pesky nopales cactus to that list! When it comes to the other choices nothing puts weight on your butt faster than an avocado. It's true! Carrots, grapes and dates are all too high in sugar for munching. Organic coconut! Forget it. Just because something is labeled organic does not make it an acceptable weight loss choice. Moreover, corn, well, just think of corn in one of its primary functions. Weight gain feed for cattle!
