1. Buy some whole wheat flour and put it into your freezer. You can't bake with it if you don't have it.

2. Make your own granola and use it for breakfast or as a trail mix.

3. Commit to eating and using more oats. Grind them up like a flour.

4. Cook a cup of hulled barley, refrigerate it and use a tablespoon or two in your bread recipes and in your soups, stews, chili, pot pies and so on.

5. Start today by substituting 1/3 cup of whole wheat flour for 1/3 cup of all purpose flour in all your recipes.

6. Mix up your morning breakfast cereal routine with whole grain muffins.

7. Give up store bought white bread. If you can't do that, make sandwiches with one slice of white bread and one slice of whole wheat.

8. Bake from scratch. You have absolutely no way of knowing how much whole grain nutrition you are getting in store bought baked goods. You will love the results of your own baking, and think how much more wholesome you can make even decadent treats.

9. Don't fret about it. Change your diet gradually. If something does not taste good, forget about it. Life's too short to eat food that does not taste great.
