Make a grocery list

Before going grocery shopping, make a detailed grocery list of everything you need and stick to it. Write down all the healthy foods you need such as lean proteins (chicken breast, turkey breast, fish, egg whites), healthy carbohydrates (whole wheat bread, brown rice, sweet potatoes, black beans), fruits (apples, strawberries, oranges, watermelon) and vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, green beans, squash, romaine lettuce). If you like to add dressing or marinade, make healthy choices like no-calorie salad dressing and low-carb marinades/sauces. By writing a detailed grocery list, it will be much easier for you to stick with healthy food choices and avoid making impulse buys like candy, chips and unhealthy foods.
