A yellow light food might be - salted nuts, trail mixes and "power" bars. I proceed with caution. I yield toward NOT having them. Salt is the new sugar, so I watch those salty sweet cravings and if I don't have one bite, I'm in the safe lane! If in doubt with those nutty things, I use a measuring cup or as they say, if in doubt, I do without.
Green light foods: you guessed it. Broccoli. Spinach. Carrots & Kale - and what might be considered boring foods. When sugar stops taking up my mind space, I crave these CLEAN food.
Suddenly this sounds kind of boring, but simple is very, very sweet. I aim to not play in traffic with my food and, forgive me for saying, buckle up for food safety. It's crazy out there and the holiday traffic is coming.
