Don’t: Grocery Shop While Hungry
Grocery shopping while hungry is a recipe for diet disaster. It’s hard to make healthy choices if your belly, not your brain, is making the decisions.
To help avoid temptation, shop after a meal or have a healthy snack before heading out the door. Avoid the center aisles of grocery store where most of the processed food is kept and stick to the perimeter where the fresh food is found. Remember, one easy way to eat better at home is to keep junk food out of your cabinets altogether.
