Trouble at the grocery store

Hi, Everyone –

I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend – you can almost officially say goodbye to the Summer! When you are re-stocking your house after all the festivities this weekend, make sure you pay attention while you are shopping. The grocery store can be a dangerous place. The snack and cookie aisle can be terrifying when you are trying to keep your diet on track. I know it sounds kind of crazy to have a game plan when you enter the grocery store, but you would be amazed at how little temptation you will have to deal with if you just focus.

First and foremost, never shop hungry. You will be surprised how easy it is to make smart decisions when you are satiated and not starving. Next, stay on the perimeter. This is where all of the perishable, healthy food lives. There really isn’t even a need to venture into the center aisles unless you need non-food items.

Just remember, put on your armor before you enter the battle with the grocery store.

Happy shopping,

Dr. Snyder
