I had the same problem with the baby carrots by the 3 rd day they had a slimy film but only with the baby carrots.
I heard somewhere that if you use a ceramic or plastic knife that whatever you cut dosent go bad as fast. Anyone else heard that? -

Some fruits last longer than others. Raspberries and peaches can perish quicker than blueberries and pineapple.
Everyone has an opinion about what is deemed "healthy" We have been lied to and brainwashed all these years by the so called experts who have been trumpeting a low fat diet.
Look where it has got us. Record high obesity and diabetes rates. Sugar is the real demon. Cut out the carbs and you will stand a better chance of losing weight.
I've stopped eating cereals.....they are packed with sugar, especially Post cereal. And of course, there is way too much sweetness in sodas......That High Fructose Corn syrup is deadly and should be banned.
The consumption of sugar has escalated in the past 40 yrs to outrageous levels. No wonder we have a diabetes epidemic. And big pharma could care less about your health. All they care about is stuffing you full of drugs that don't cure anything but give you side effects.
Personally I ditched those coolers years ago and went for a proper fridge.
I've just bought a Breville convection oven but I have to run it via the APU as it uses a lot of power.
But I can bake or broil meats, fish, frozen vegs, just like I was at home.
I use coconut oil, olive oil and butter to cook with. It's all good.
With regards to keeping veges fresh I'm using that FoodSaver vacuum food sealer system that you can buy anywhere.
It's working out good. I had the slimy carrot problem too til I sealed them. Fresh asparagus can go slimy very quickly. So can mushrooms. -

I was able to have all my veggies and fruits that way everyday (kale, broccoli, carrots, spinach etc) throw in some banana and pineapple and it tasted sweeter than any chocolate bar. Don't forget to drink lots of waterClick to expand...

atlasshruggery said: ↑During this latest go round on the road, I have managed to eat much healthier. I would like to share some tips I've found, and hopefully you will add your own.
My biggest help has been a cooler. I save at a minimum 50 dollars a week, and can store healthy foods.
The best foods I can offer as far as health, ease of storage, and convienince are:
Pre cooked hard boiled eggs, I hard boil a dozen before I head out.
Cereals(Cheerios, Raisin Bran, and honey bunches of oats) with milk of course thanks to the cooler
Yogurt, and Fruit are my go to snacks.oranges, and Apple's seem to be the easisest. It is hard for me to keep a lot of fruit good in the truck.
Peanut butter, and jelly for meals where you have a sweet tooth
Whole Grain Bread,Lean lunch meats, cheese, and MUSTARD not mayo for sandwiches.
Salad, I like the romaine pre packaged stuff with carrots and radish. I also add olives, bell peppers,tomatoes Italian dressing, and either kale or spinach.
I love baby carrots but can't figure out how to keep them from getting slimy. And would also like to be able to incorporate beans, and more veggies into my diet.Click to expand...truckon and Dr_Fandango44 Thank this. -
Portion control and total caloric intake relative to what exercise level you can do. Keep a log (we are good at it right?) Of everything you eat and drink. A lot of us should be in the 1500-2000 calorie a day area. Look at your food log, no matter how healthy and be amazed how the calories gang up on you.
Sustainable diets that you can live with permanently, doesn't do any good otherwise. Same with exercise regimen. Build it into your week, every week. -

Below is from wikipedia.
Health Factors[edit]
Many Naked juices contain more sugar per ounce than soft drinks. For example, Naked's "pomegranate blueberry", which reads "no sugar added" on the label, contains some 64g of sugar - 16 teaspoons in a single bottle. That equates to 1 teaspoon of sugar per ounce of juice. This is even higher than Coca Cola, which has 3.25g of sugar per ounce, or Pepsi-Cola, which has 3.42.[citation needed]
Water is the best fluid to drink. My opinion. I like teas and coffee also.Click to expand...hal380 and Charli Girl Thank this.
