This week I experimented with BJ Fogg’s “Super-fridge” idea. (Fogg authored the book Tiny Habits; “super-fridge” refers to once a week shopping, preparing, and stocking one’s fridge full of nutritious and delicious foods. One may eat as much as he/she wishes but only from the fridge.)
This concept, tried in a small way, may significantly impact your life as it has mine this week.
If you’re like me, I know eating fruits and vegetables, especially vegetables are good for health but I don’t always eat them. Often I buy them and they rot in the crisper. So last week when grocery shopping I placed a bag of carrots, a stock of celery, and a cucumber in my basket and felt good about myself. Normal. But just buying the vegetables, transporting the vegetables, and storing the vegetables did not produce health—I needed to eat them! [choir sings].
This week I tried out Foggs’ Super-Fridge idea (in a miniature way), on Sunday cutting up celery, a cucumber, and dropping in pre-cut baby carrots… Seeing these vegetables and being able to reach for them the same as I would a bag of chips made this habit easy to increase vegetable consumption.
Make it easy to eat intentionally.
Merry Christmas!
