Shopping tips

Have you ever looked inside your grocery cart? What did you see in there?

Last year, I learned shopping tips from my coach about how to shop for the correct foods to fuel your body.  Here are the tips:

• The first shopping tip is to write down a list and stick with it. Going with a list of the items you need prevents you from picking up unnecessary things. We all know it is easy to throw extra things in the cart, especially, when we are hungry. 

• The next shopping tip is to shop the perimeters of the store- shop the U. Try to avoid the middle of the store. The reason is the middle of the store tends to have a lot of boxed items. These boxed items tend to have a  unknown ingredients as well as sugars, preservatives, and fats. Read the labels not the carbs. Rule of thumb is the less ingredients the better. 

•  The last tip is look inside your cart. Can you actually see you food? You should be able to see it. 

 As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Choose healthy!
