Break the Fast Food Habit

Are you busy running all over town with the kids, running errands, or off to work, then trying to squeeze all your other duties in on your lunch break and after work before you crash from exhaustion?  Getting hungry? Boy, it would be easier to run through the drive through and grab a quick bite to eat, but....  STOP!!!!  DON'T DO IT!!

Before you get to that desperate moment, plan ahead, just a little bit.  Keep a healthy, protein-filled snack in your car or purse that you can grab instead.  A small palm sized handful of raw almonds, or lightly or unsalted peanuts in a zip-lock baggie can get you over that impulse and help you drive right by.  The protein and fiber found in nuts will give you just enough to take the edge off your hunger and keep you feeling content until you can make it home and grab a much better meal option.  It will save you money and is much better for your waistline.
