You can take a big step towards feeding yourself quality foods if you make good choices at the supermarket. Here are some guidelines to set you on the right path:
Check the ingredient list on labels and avoid products that contain partially hydrogenated oils or lots of added salt.
Read labels for the saturated fat content of products to ensure that you’re not underestimating the amount of fat.
Buy low-fat and reduced-fat dairy products.
Favour low-sodium, reduced-fat soups.
To make sure that you’re eating nutrient-rich, fresh produce, bring home only as many fruits and vegetables as you expect to eat within a few days. Shop little and often.
Opt for organic meats, poultry, and produce when possible.
Eat liver and kidneys, which are exceptionally high in cholesterol, only occasionally.
Look for low-fat alternatives to fattier foods, such as reduced-fat sausage and lean mince.
For the most flavour and nutrients, buy local and seasonal produce. Check out farmer’s markets and farm shops, for example.
If you must have a splurge food, such as rich premium vanilla ice cream, treat yourself to the very best available to fix your craving, and promise yourself you won’t indulge again for a long time.
Stock up on wholegrain breads, cereals, pastas, and antioxidant-rich sweet potatoes – the type of starchy foods that have minimal impact on blood glucose levels.
