How to Navigate The Grocery Store
Successfully:
Ever go to the grocery store hungry therefore, wanting to
buy everything in site? Try having a snack before grocery
shopping. This will help keep your eyes on your shopping
list and not on the shelves!
Take a close look at our grocery store tips to help
navigate you through the grocery store successfully.
1.
ALWAYS make a list! (Not making a list can cause you to buy
unnecessary items that can be unhealthy and even wasted).
2.
Walk the Perimeter. Your healthy choices are usually around the
perimeter of the store, not within the isles. Have you ever noticed that
your produce, dairy, and meat are located outside the center isles?
(This will help to ensure you are making healthy decisions).
3.
Stick to Fresh and Organic.
4.
Grab a Basket, not a Cart! (Carts can obviously hold much
more than baskets, causing you to overload with excessive
unneeded items.) Stick to the original list.
5.
Limit your trips to the grocery store to 1 per week. Plan
out your meals for the entire week when grocery shopping.
This will ensure that you are sticking to your original weekly
meal plan.
6.
Plan Crock-pot Recipes! For those of you who work a 9-5
job and don’t feel like cooking an elaborate meal when you
get home, pre plan a crock-pot recipe so that dinner is ready
after work.
7.
Utilize Curbside Pickup at your local grocery store.
Maybe disregarding the inside of the grocery store all
together will enforce you to stick to your healthy lifestyle
plan a bit easier. Place your grocery order online in order to
keep you committed to healthy decisions without tempting
you to veer off to unnecessary isles.
The Frank Institute can help customize a shopping list for your
weight loss needs. Make an appointment with Dr. Frank today to
discuss healthy options personalized for you.
