Getting a handle of your supermarket will help you lose those love handles. There is more to your supermarket than meets the eye. Understanding the layout will help you navigate better food choices.
Have you ever noticed that the healthiest foods in the supermarket can be found along the walls? That’s where you will find the dairy, produce, meat, and seafood sections. The perimeter of the market is where you should be buying most of your items. The inner aisles are mostly filled with highly processed things that come in boxes, bags, or cans. Not good. Make your way through the healthy outer part of the market before you make your way to the unhealthy middle part. Hopefully you will have filled up your cart with some many good foods, that you won’t have room for the bad ones.
Now when you do make your way through the aisles, look up and down. The healthier food choices are found on the top and bottom shelves. YES, it’s true. Big companies pay big bucks to have their products at eye level on the supermarket aisle. Those eye level products are usually highly processed and filled with sugar. If you change your focus, you will change your waistline.
