IF WEIGHT LOSS IS YOUR MAIN
FITNESS GOAL, FOLLOW THESE
Aim to only purchase food containing
5 INGREDIENTS OR LESS.
Stock up on LOWER-CALORIE
FLAVORFUL CONDIMENTS, including salsas,
vinegars, mustards, lemon and lime juices, marinara sauce, and
low-sodium soy sauce.
Always go to the store with a GROCERY LIST BASED ON
YOUR WEEKLY MEAL PLAN. DON’T GO GROCERY
SHOPPING HUNGRY OR
TIRED.
In addition to having fresh LEAN PROTEIN and
seafood on hand, canned tuna and salmon, canned
beans, and frozen chicken or fish are great options.
BE CAREFUL OF PACKAGING
that makes foods sound healthier than they are.
Look for energy bars and granola bars with at least
6G OF PROTEIN, 3G OF FIBER AND ARE 200 CALORIES OR LESS.KNOW THE
DIFFERENCE between sugar-free
and no-sugar added.
Stick with the WHOLE
FRUITS OR VEGETABLES.
YOUR CART, LIKE YOUR PLATE, SHOULD CONSIST OF:
about ½ vegetables and fruit, ¼ protein, and ¼ whole grains with
small amounts of healthy fats.
GLUTEN-FREE DOESN’T MEAN HEALTHIER OR
LOWER CALORIE.
Stock up on healthy, CONVENIENT
FROZEN VEGETABLES (without sauce),
FROZEN FRUIT AND SEAFOOD.
The bread aisle: Look for 100% WHOLE WHEAT
as the first ingredient.
Make the majorityof your foods a
SINGLE-INGREDIENT food. For example, eggs,
fruits and vegetables, meat, seafood, chicken, and nuts
are all one ingredient.
If you can’t buy all ORGANIC FOODS, splurge on produce,
including organic apples, lettuce, and berries, or meat and dairy, such as milk, chicken, and beef.
Add CONVENIENT COMPLEX CARBS to your cart, such as, plain 1-minute oats,
10-minute barley, and precooked rice or
rice-quinoa blends in microwavable
pouches.
SPICE THINGS UP with no extra calories
and a lot of extra flavor and antioxidants.
RETHINK YOUR SNACKS. Stick with mostly raw fruits
and veggies, including individual packs of nuts,
popcorn, and single-serving, non-fat yogurt.
Once you get home from the store, PREP FRESH FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES IMMEDIATELY.
Pay attention to SERVING SIZES and calories per
serving.
