Healthy Lifestyle Tips Part 2 - Losing Weight At The Grocery Store | Day #17 WellFit 365
In today's video I share some healthy lifestyle tips on getting food for our house and going
grocery shopping.
These are another set of healthy lifestyle tips to help you ensure that your environment
is as strong as you can make it when it comes to losing weight.
3 points on helping you make the grocery store choices that result in you losing weight:
1. Plan ahead! Know exactly which meals you're going to eat for the week ahead. Ensure that
you're choosing foods based on your plan, not in reaction to the marketing/product placement,
discounts that the grocery store has put in place. Without a plan, you can easily end
up with too much food for the week, causing you to eat too much, OR too little food - which
leads to rushed takeaway meals at the end of the week.
2. Don't go to the grocery store on an empty stomach! When we're in a hurry & starving,
all the bad foods look really good on the shelves don't they? When you go to the grocery
store hungry, the quicker option foods get chosen and these are more often than not going
to be detrimental to your quest for weight loss.
3. Stick to the outskirts of the shops. Ever notice how all the middle aisles are the ones
with the packaged foods, preservatives and processed products? Stick to the sections
with all the fruits, vegetables, meat/seafood, even frozen vegetables are great options as
well.
We want to go to the grocery store in a nice state of mind. Not hungry, not stressed out
or rushed.
Its not about what you know, it is about the actions you take, so challenge yourself to
put these 3 behaviours into action this week and we'd love to hear about how this works
for you over on our Facebook page :)
