By Logging your Food Use, You can Super Charge Your Health
Figure out your Main Nutritional Inputs
• Am I eating processed foods?• Am I eating pre-canned foods?• Do I shop for Raw Materials to
make meals, or for premade meals?
When shopping at groceries, stick to the outside isles of the store.• Usually where produce, meats,
and dairy is.• Watch out for bread section and
bakery area.• Processed Foods are usually in
the center isles.• When watching the costs of
food, you can find which ones have cheap organic alternatives.

this in a bit.• If you focus on Raw
Produce, you can learn to can and preserve food yourself– This is an extremely
valuable skill.

goods, log the amount you use• When using small amounts of things like
spices or creams, you can just log that you used them.

What is this “Copy-Canning” of Which You Speak?
Copy-Canning is knowing what you eat and calculating what you have to buy to last a certain period of time.• If you like to garden and can, then you can
replace the purchase of canned goods with your canning.
• This may change your calculating a bit, but the scope of this is the beginner prepper.
• I will focus on copy-canning with pre-canned food from a grocery store.
• This is not meant to fix your diet, it is meant to make you resilient.– Like I said earlier, you can use this log
to help your health if you want.
Start Copy-Canning for an Awesome Self-Reliance Plan
• Having a 6-month food storage could save your lives, or at least reduce stress.

After 1 Month of Logging your consumption, calculate your yearly food.
• Make a 12 Month average of your usage. You can actually begin this after a shorter period of time, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
• What if the shelf life of that item is only 6 months?
• Store what you eat, and eat what you store.
• If you complete this simple task you will now have some advantages.
