Your Shopping Trip
One of the biggest hurdles many have when it comes to eating right and
living well is resisting temptation whilst navigating the supermarket shelves.
With offers galore and a maze of aisles, it can be so easy to fall into the trap
of throwing the loudest and most colourful sweet treats into your basket.
If supermarkets scream stress and a stop gap between sweetie purchases,
check out our handy hints for supercharging the shop.
Dinner time a la carte
If time is of the essence, it may be helpful
to get into the routine of making a menu
for the week. Discover healthy alternatives
for your favourite takeaway in our Fakeaway
series and try to go meat free one day
a week.
Make sure nothing’s missed with a list
Menu is ready for the week, now it’s time to
look in the cupboards to see what you need.
Guessing will mean you have twice of one
thing and not enough of another, so setting
a clear list will mean you only stick to what
you need. This will mean that you have only
the good stuff coming home with you, no
weight loss sabotages here! It will also mean
you are not buying anything you don’t need,
thereby saving your shopping spends.
No shopping on an empty stomach
Trailing around a supermarket on an empty
stomach will leave you susceptible to
popping naughty treats in your trolley. Plan
ahead and eat a meal or a light snack before
your shop so you are not contending with
the food choices of a growling tummy
whilst you are making healthy choices for
the week.
