Diet Décor - Back to Nature

Diet Decor-Getting Back to Nature-Mother Nature that is!

On a diet? Then you've got a fantastic excuse for decorating your kitchen or dining area…

One great way to ensure success on your diet is to get back to the basics of nature. Let's think about this a moment. When you think about the foods associated with nature, what springs to mind? An apple? Banana? A fresh grown tomato? Oh yes! And there are so many more 'food gifts' of nature that we can incorporate into our diet, as well as use to beautify our homes!

Next time you're shopping, try to find some clear containers that will match the décor of your kitchen or dining area. Drop by the market and pick up any of the following:

· dried fruits - such as raisins (golden, red or brown), apricots, cranberries, peaches apples or pineapples;
· assorted dried beans, dried peas;
· seeds - such as sunflower or pumpkin;
· nuts - such as peanuts, cashews, pecans or almonds;
· grains - such as rice (there are so many varieties!), barley, etc.

When you get home, fill your beautiful containers with these wonderful gifts of nature. You can even add a decorative top by using fabric, glue and some ribbon.

A basket filled with fruit 'for the taking' also makes a nice addition. Find a basket with a loop and go wild with your ideas. You can attach all sorts of craft items to the loop - from tiny teddy bears to comical diet warnings or motivational phrases. These 'Gift of Life' baskets make lovely and thoughtful gifts and can easily be personalized.

All of the foods above are very healthy choices. Some are bit high in calories/fat, but compared to candy bars, cakes and other confections, these natural alternatives are processed a bit differently in the body. Many of the foods above will even increase good levels of cholesterol.

Study the calorie content of the foods so when you take some out for snack time, you'll know beforehand how much you want to eat.  If you live close to a market that specializes in exotic food, check out their offerings. You'll delight and amuse your houseguests while beautifying your home. And whenever nosy Aunt Phyllis visits and asks, "What's in that jar?" then you'll have the answer!

Mother Nature - there's no one quite like her when it comes to diet and decorating!
