It’s easy to make bad choices when you go tot he grocery store without a list. So I created an easy grocery list for you to follow. First here are some tips when you are grocery shopping…
- Keep eating simple.
- Eat whole one ingredient foods.
- Eat same meals. You do not HAVE to eat the same thing everyday however I find it helpful from making bad choices. (I mix it up and get different in season fruits and veggies every week.)
- Avoid pre-packaged foods as those are the ones that contain harmful ingredients.
- Read labels. NO more buying foods that have added sugar. Look under ingredients, if you see sugar listed put it back on the shelf.
- Make sure you buy enough to last you a week so you don’t have to go to to the store again.
- Meal prepping helps. Try to use one day a week to make a couple entries in large quantities so you don’t have to think about what to make after work.
