3. SHOP

Food shopping takes a commitment of time and focus. In the long run, you will save time and confusion by having healthy foods on hand. Since your environment directly affects your behaviors, having healthy food around is necessary for healthy eating. To surround yourself with healthy choices you must plan your shopping list. Simply put, do not buy what is not on the list. By keeping the unhealthy foods out of the house you will not be tempted to eat them. Correct shopping practices will keep your food environment full of healthy choices.

Some tips for easy shopping.

- Allot plenty of time for your shopping so you can get everything you need.

- Do not try to shop for too many days at a time. It can be overwhelming to look at two or three weeks of food in the grocery cart. Weekly shopping for fresh produce may your best bet.

- Make a list and stick to it when you shop. (This goes back to step two, planning.) Make sure you are getting foods that both fit in your weight loss plan and that you will eat. Oatmeal or yogurt sitting in your cupboard or refrigerator unconsumed do you no good.

- When shopping for foods to bring to work make sure to purchase meals you will eat and that have minimal preparation. If the meals you bring with you are easy to prepare and eat you will be less likely to leave the food you brought in the fridge and go out to lunch with the gang. As much as possible avoid all the microwave processed foods. They are easy but have no place in healthy eating. Once in a while as a “cheat meal” they are ok, but they should be the exception not the rule.

- Finally, never shop when you are hungry or you may find some unplanned chips in your cart to deal with later.
