One of the keys to success is to always have something around that you can eat and enjoy. Stock up on your favorite foods in advance so you always have somethIng delicious and healthy close by.

Make a shopping list for the recipes you plan to make and stock your fridge and pantry – doubling up occasionally so that you can “cook once and use twice”.

Turn your fridge into your personal salad bar. Once a week, chop, dice and slice a variety of vegetables and salad greens storing them in glass containers in the fridge. Creating a varied assortment allows you to not only make salads, but also soups, stir fries and even roasted vegetables.

Following these tips is time well spent and means a healthy and delicious meal can go from kitchen to table in no time at all.

Keep harmful foods out of your hands and your house and out of arms reach in your office. Read ingredient labels before buying foods and if you discover names you cannot pronounce, avoid them.
