1. Shop the perimeter. You should stick to the outer walls of the store and mostly avoid the middle aisles. If you think about how grocery stores are set up, this makes perfect sense. All the fresh fruits, vegetables and meats are kept on the outer walls. So make a plan to shop the perimeter first and then work your way through the center aisles. Your cart should be almost full, so you shouldn't need much.
2. When shopping the middle aisles, choose carefully. There are so many food choices in these aisles and some aisles you don't even need to go down, so skip that aisle!
3. In the frozen foods section, stay AWAY from anything that says one step, heat and serve or ready to go meal in a box!
4.Read the nutrition labels and ingredients list. If you can't pronounce some of the ingredients or if they look like they belong in a science lab, put it back on the shelf!
5. When buying canned foods, look for low sodium versions, such as salmon or tuna packed in water, and no extra sugar.
