- Only buy food on your list.
- List
the food you are going to buy in priority order: first, lean protein
(chicken, turkey, fish , salmon, tuna, shellfish, whey protein, non-fat
dairy ); next, raw fats (avocado, extra-virgin olive oil , flaxseed
oil, raw nuts and seeds ); and last, unprocessed carbohydrates
(non-starchy vegetables , fruit , and some whole grains like
old-fashioned oatmeal , brown rice, beans, and lentils).
- Avoid shopping when you are hungry or tired
- Plan what you are going to buy before you shop.
- If it is in your house, you will eat it! Keep your house clean!
- Avoid having cheat meals at home – eat out for your cheat meals.
- When buying carbohydrates, focus on unprocessed foods-as-grown carbohydrates from the produce department.
- Buy cage-free eggs and egg whites , rather than eggs from commercially raised chickens.
- Buy
game (venison, ostrich, quail, pheasant, moose) or any organic beef –
it is very lean (low in saturated fats), especially as compared to
commercially raised red meat, which is very high in saturated fats and
contains hormones and steroids. Game also contains essential fats.
- Shop the perimeter of your supermarket, where all the fresh produce is kept. The inner aisles are usually all processed food.
- Buy raw oils and raw nut butters (for use in salad dressing, in your Natural Shake s, etc.) only from the refrigerated
section of your local health food store. Buy raw nuts (cashews,
almonds, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, macadamia
nuts, etc.) and raw seeds from the bulk food section of your health
food store.
