Together with Guiding Stars, you can use color to guide you toward the most healthful foods in the store! Look for deep rich colors in your produce for more anti-aging, immune boosting antioxidants! Let color guide you toward better cuts of meat- bright red meat in the package means less fat on your plate (and look for Guiding Stars on the sticker). Think brown when shopping for your starches- brown rice, whole wheat pasta and whole grain breads. Don’t forget that white is a color too- low fat milk and yogurt round out a perfect shopping list!]]> http://guidingstars.com/food-shopping/shopping-made-easy-with-guiding-stars/feed/ 0 http://guidingstars.com/food-shopping/balancing-the-food-budget/ http://guidingstars.com/food-shopping/balancing-the-food-budget/#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:26:36 +0000 Lori Kaley http://guidingstars.com/?p=6414 http://guidingstars.com/food-shopping/balancing-the-food-budget/feed/ 0 http://guidingstars.com/food-shopping/consider-me-your-personal-shopper/ http://guidingstars.com/food-shopping/consider-me-your-personal-shopper/#comments Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:16:41 +0000 Allison Stowell http://guidingstars.com/?p=6528 Editors Note: We're happy to welcome Allison Stowell, MS, RD, CDN as our new Consulting Dietician. For her first post on the Guiding Stars blog we asked her to speak about what perspective she hopes to bring to the program. We're excited to have her on board! As a working mom of two, I know how hard it is to get it all done. There are a few things you should know about me. While I am a dietician, I am not a chef; but I'm a master at creating uncomplicated, go-to options for busy nights. You see, I spend a lot of time at the grocery store, something I know you don’t have time to do. Consider me your personal shopper. ]]> http://guidingstars.com/food-shopping/consider-me-your-personal-shopper/feed/ 0
