Years ago my wife Staci and I used the term "Stop Eating Crap - Eat
Real Food" as our motto when it came to cleaning up your eating
habits. Simply eliminating or cutting way back on added sugars,
cheap vegetable oils and highly processed foods from your diet was
our primary recommendation to start improving your nutrition. It
helps to prepare your food in advance so that you have good food
choices for all or most of yoru meals each week. Weekly food prep
can be a daunting and time consuming task, but it's well worth it.
In this video, I have a couple simple suggestions to get you
started with a minimal amount of work, while keeping the cost as
affordable as possible.  These suggestions are also good for
those you are veteran food-preppers during weeks when they simply
do not have enough time for their normal cooking routine. We take
3+ hours together every weekend to prepare healthy food in order to
build meals both in advance and ‘on the fly’ for the entire week.
That's too much for most people to start off with, so we recommend
taking it in small steps. Start with cook and/or purchasing several
healthy lean protein sources.  It's easier and less expensive
to come up with side dish choices and add your prepared protein
choice to each meal. Once you get in this habit, you can start to
prepare a side dish or two each week, and slowly increasing until
you are able to prepare everything you need for the week yourself.
The attached PDF lists out an example of a typical week's worth of
food that we prepare in advance.  Bill & Staci's Weekly
