Lists - Why You Really Must Make Them

Santa does it -- now maybe it's your turn to make a list and check it twice. We're not talking kids and gifts here. Food lists are the way to go, according to this article from Science Daily. To be more specific, women who referred to healthy food lists when choosing what to eat doubled the amount of fruits and veggies they consumed. Which, as we all know, can lead to weight loss and overall better health in the long run.

So what should be on your list of foods to stock up on? The Mediterranean Diet is a good guide -- load your kitchen with plenty of fruits and veggies, healthy fats like olive oil, seafood, nuts, legumes and whole grains to do your heart, and your waistline, a favour.
