Makeover your shopping cart

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Reviews & Products

As someone who's passionate about healthy living, grocery shopping can be infuriating -- sometimes I was to steal a person's cart and replace it with my own, or at the very least, chuck out those chips and throw in some veggies. But change has to come from within, so it's important to makeover your own shopping cart. Everyday Health has some tips:
  • In the dairy section, make sure to pick up low-fat versions of your favourites like yogurt, milk and cheese.
  • In the cereal aisle, look for one that have whole grains, more than 3 g of fibre per serving and little to no sugar
  • In the bakery, check the labels on bread and pitas; if whole wheat isn't one of the first few ingredients, skip it
  • In the meat section, look for white, lean meats like chicken and turkey breasts. Also consider picking up some fish -- the non-battered kind, of course.
  • In the freezer section, head for the frozen fruits and veggies.
