Most of the battle to lose weight is fought at the grocery store. I have put together some tips to help you get in and out without negatively affecting your waistline.
- Shop the outside aisles of the store
This is where you'll find the bulk of what you are purchasing: fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat items.
- You can't eat what you don't buy
This is a true statement. However, it can be a little difficult when you are buying for more people than yourself. If you're having to buy for your family and they are not all following your food plan, be sure to keep their selections in a cupboard out of sight whenever you get home.
- Limit your time in the store
Plan your shopping trip to keep your time in the store to a minimum. This is where a shopping list comes in handy. Don't leave home without one.
Even if you shop a few times a week, having a plan in place helps with making out your grocery list.
Shopping on an empty stomach is a good way to spend more money and calories than you intend. Go ahead and eat before you shop. Even if it means making a second trip out of the house.
