Weight Lose by Shopping

Don’t be a basket case, shop to weight lose

The beginning of any weight lose programme starts before you do the shopping. The things you put in your basket will determine the food choices you can make in the week. If you can’t make the right choices you may lose heart and lack the motivation you need to stay on your weight lose plan.

So where to start shopping to weight lose?

The shopping list, the first thing to do is decide what you need to be eating for the week, what foods and how much. This may sound obvious, but so many of us turn up to the store and decide what to buy as we go down each isle. When you use this approach don’t be fooled in to thinking you are making all your own choices, the supermarkets have very sophisticated methods of influencing your on the spot decisions and they won't be the decisions that will help you weight lose (Lookout for an article on this subject in the near future at our website, www.permanent-weight-solutions.com with insider knowledge of the tricks the supermarkets use.)

Work out your shopping list in advance, if you do it on your computer it will be a lot easier to update, change and save it(I will put up a spread sheet for this, look out for notice of it on the newsletter and blog). This is important because it may take you a few weeks to get it right. Some stores have an online facility where you can do this even if you don’t do the actual purchase online. An easy to use free online list service can be found at www.cozi.com .Once you have your list stick to it, this will mean you have none of the wrong foods in the house and have limited your chances of being tempted off course with your weight lose programme.

Ps remember to go shopping after a meal and not before, then hunger won’t influence your decisions and it will be easier to stick to your shopping list.
