We are faced with literally thousands of food choices at your modern day supermarket.
The choices you make and the foods that end up in your shopping trolley will have a big impact on your body shape.
With so many temptations out there, it’s helpful to be prepared and organised when you go grocery shopping.
The key? Shop to a list!
Not only will this help you save time, it will also help to prevent impulse buying and help you stick to a meal plan.
Here’s a sneak peak at what’s on my shopping list – it’s loaded with healthy food choices and it’s what I recommend to my clients to manage a healthy waistline.
