Who wants to be apart of the new fad diet? EVERYONE. Diets are meant to be broken, Its only a matter of time your body is going to reject 6 meals a day, why? Because its not for everyone and its downright hard as hell. Below are 5 tips to guide you into the right direction of healthy eating. Don't worry I'm not going to tell you to eat cardboard or some generic soy version of chicken. You can decide that on your own. Instead I'm going to teach you the right way to eating healthy by shopping smart. Being knowledgeable about what goes into products can also go a long way. Visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to understand nutritional labels and ingredients lists.


SHOP THE PERIMETER OF THE STORE
Shop were all the fresh food is. Don't be so quickly to run down the aisle were all the goodies are. Staying away from the central aisles can help you in so many ways. Make it a habit of buying the bulk of your grocery from the perimeter and make your way to the aisle for certain foods.


BUY FRESH FOOD
I have said time and time again, if it doesn't rot don't eat it. Granted not everything that doesn't spoil is not good for you like frozen foods such fruits/vegetables. There has been studies that state buying frozen fruits/vegetables and then defrosting them can in fact retain more nutrients.


THINK IN TERMS OF MAJOR FOOD GROUPS
Target areas of the supermarket by sections (diary, produce, meats, and so on). Candy, cakes, and potato chips are not a major food group and don't belong in your pantry to begin with. There are so many other alternatives to sweets. Just make it a point to become familiar with the healthy ones.


MAKE A SHOPPING LIST
That's right, stay clear of the wish list (I wish I had this, I wish I had that) and write a shopping list that reinforces good eating habits. After all we are talking about your health and wellness. If shopping becomes too difficult even with a list bring someone you can trust to help out with those sudden urges. Creating a shopping list can also lash your time spent in the supermarket. Remember, you are not the only one your shopping for there are other people involved, like your family.


SHOP WITH A FULL STOMACH
I'm sure you heard this before and for good reason. Food shopping with an empty stomach can make you more susceptible to unhealthy eating decisions. An easy way to avoid this is buy have some fruit or a large glass of water to help full your stomach.
