Empower Your Shopping Experience by (c) Antoinette Mc Donnell

Supermarket aisles are avenues to greater nutritional knowledge

as the food label offers more complete, useful and accurate

nutrition information than ever before. Become a fervent

'label reader' and scrutinize packaged foods, dressings and

sauces before purchasing.

Avoid The "Aisle Of Weakness"

------------------------------

In all honesty, everyone has their "aisle of weakness"-be it

the ice cream, cakes or sweet section. Do yourself a favour

and avoid mouth watering temptation by steering completely

clear of the entire area. And this "aisle" (or "aisles")

is usually found in the centre! So, shop the perimeter of

the store first, which is where you find the healthier foods.

Tantalize & Excite Your Taste Buds

-----------------------------------

Stimulate your palate and your recipes with the inspiration

of fresh herbs like basil, ginger, lemongrass and cilantro.

In addition, stock up on spices that can literally transform

an ordinary meal into an exotic dish. Actively pursue

variety. Expand your range of choices and explore new tastes,

within and among food groups. Eating a wide variety of foods

not only promotes optimal nutrition but also provides us with

the 'pleasure factor'.

Don't Feel Deprived

--------------------

Even though there are certain foods you'll want to avoid on

your nutritional program, the supermarket is packed with a

great variety of health-friendly food items. By choosing

a variety of the foods you enjoy, and watching your portions,

you need never feel deprived -no matter what foods you choose.

Make moderation your goal, you decide how much and how

often. Healthy eating doesn't mean feeling deprived or guilty.

Final Check

------------

Before you check out, ask yourself (honestly!) if there is

any item in your shopping cart that you could remove to

better support your program. Put yourself and your optimal

nutritional program before all else.

When you shop healthily, it is a great contributor to the

'feel good factor'!! Additionally, consider clearing your

cupboards and fridge of any foods that don't support your

program. With only great-tasting nutritious foods around

you can cook up a healthy storm and enjoy your meals &

snacks to the fullest -and enjoy the pleasurable aspects

of eating and... living!
