4 healthy grocery shopping tips🥑🍓🛒

over the last 15 months I’ve transformed my health/fitness, and lost over 25 pounds 🤍

here are 4 simple tips for healthy grocery shopping that have been really helpful for me throughout my fitness journey!

📝 make a plan— every week I pick out a few meals I’m going to eat and make a grocery list for exactly what I need. this is a simple tip, but it really helps me to prioritize healthy foods and only get what I need, to reduce food waste! when I have a list to stick to, I have a lot better odds of getting foods that are aligned with my health goals.

😋 don’t go shopping while hungry— when I go to the grocery store starving, it’s a lot harder to make healthy choices. I like to make sure that ideally I’ve eaten a high protein meal beforehand (or at the very least I’ll grab a snack on my way out the door) so I feel full/satisfied and can make the best possible choices!

🫶🏼 once a week willpower— I’ve found that if I keep healthy food options in the house, then I just eat healthy foods. this means that I really only need to have “willpower” to make healthy choices once a week when I’m shopping. it sounds simple because it is! I always tell myself I can go out and grab treats whenever I want, but I’m usually too lazy and just end up eating whatever I have on hand, so it actually works in my favor.

🍫always get a treat— this may sound counterintuitive, but I find that restricting and putting foods entirely off limits makes them MORE enticing and harder to resist. instead, I like to get a treat at the grocery store every week. since I track calories for weight loss, I’m able to incorporate “unhealthy” foods in moderation and know exactly how much I can have while still reaching my goals. limiting myself to one thing (or honestly, sometimes a couple of things) helps me to stay on track, while also feeling balanced!
