The point is we ALL spend a good chunk of our time shopping for groceries. Do you want to learn two super easy tips that can help you lose up to 8% body fat in just three months? It might not seem like it yet, but it has everything to do with the grocery store. Okay. So, if you're anything like me, you've probably struggled with weight and more than likely tried a few diets in your lifetime. You name it, I've tried it; Atkins, the Mediterranean, a points-based diet, and countless others. And to be honest, they were all incredibly hard to maintain. I would always fall back into unhealthy eating habits... That is until I figured out two simple shopping tips that turned everything around. Are you hungry to hear them? Grocery humor goes a long way. Pay attention. Shopping Tip #1 Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry. Sounds obvious right? But you’d be surprised by how many people don’t adhere to this rule, myself included. I learned this tip the hard way as I would stick to healthy eating for a month or two, and then find myself at a grocery store on an empty stomach… and when you are hungry EVERYTHING looks delicious. NEVER shop hungry. Eat a healthy meal BEFORE you go shopping so you are not tempted to overload on junk food and processed foods that you may end up regretting later. Shopping Tip #2 I CANNOT stress the IMPORTANCE of this tip enough! Do your best to forget the aisles of the grocery store even exist. Don't go near them! They're loaded with overly processed, unnatural foods that are chemically enhanced with artificial flavors, preservatives, and sugars. Ready to lose your appetite? That can of soup may seem like a healthier alternative to a cheeseburger, but just one can from a leading soup company has twice the amount of sodium than a cheeseburger from a fast-food chain. These “mid-store” foods have little-to-no nutritious benefit and an incredibly high glycemic index which will cause that dangerous blood sugar spike after your meal. So how do you avoid these processed foods? The key is to shop on the edges of the store! Find the natural, whole foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, whole grains, and dairy- like Greek yogurt and cottage cheeses. You can find all of these natural whole foods around the edges of your local grocery store. This strategy will give you more than enough ingredients to make simple and amazing dishes full of these natural and healthy foods your body will love: -Salmon (or other lean fish) on fresh corn salsa. -Grass-fed beef and grilled artichoke. -Lean-turkey chili with some cayenne pepper to really boost that metabolism. Just because these foods are all-natural, doesn't mean they aren't bursting with flavor. That's it. The shortest what-to-do while you're shopping list ever, right? Next time you go to your local grocery store, following these two simple tips will bring out the best in you, and help keep the worst off! Poster Comment: I go because that is where I have to get food. I wish I had a garden, but I live in an apartment, and that is out of the question. It's still better than the nursing home I spent two years in, or the extended care facility for six months. That place was a dump. The toilets were overflowing and the food was lousy. ;) Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 7.

every day. I work in grocery stores. my husband does all the grocery shopping. he uses e-coupons and saves anywhere from 30 to as much as 47%. Then there is the occasional text to me to bring home milk or bread.

There was an amusement park in Chicago called Riverview. It was overrun with blacks. They closed it and turned the property into an industrial park. ;)
