How I do healthy grocery shopping.


This one isn’t rocket science, you just need to be mindful about what you are aiming to achieve….

Food shopping has the potential to wreck your good intentions, as I’ve found out to my cost over the last few years.  Here’s some suggestions that have worked for me, try them and let me know how you get on…

Linda’s shopping rules
Go food shopping AFTER a meal, not before
Choose a time when the store is less crowded, you won’t get stuck at the tills next to the sweets
Make a list and stick to it
Buy fresh fruit and veg (buy local and seasonal)
Don’t buy ready meals
If it has a label read it…
Low fat or ‘diet’ food doesn’t necessarily mean low calorie or healthy
The fewer ingredients the better
Try to avoid processed food
Avoid the confectionary and biscuit isles. (and any others that would jump into your trolley!)
Try online shopping, it stops you being tempted!
