Stocking Up

There are a lot of great resources available when you're ready to make a lifestyle change.  It's possible that Marilu.com is the best of those resources with  24 hour support, comprehensive information, and a wide variety of topics and classes offered.  All of that can be traced back to Marilu's first book on the subject; Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover, often referred to here as "the green book". 

We're providing this list, most of which was originally published in the green book, in order to help you take your first steps.  For those of you taking The BLAST class, beginning on Friday, consider this a shopping list that will help you be prepared before class begins.  You don't have to buy every item on the list but use it as a guide to help you find new healthy replacements.
