Sure, you’ve heard it before. Clean out the fridge and pantry when starting a new diet. Throw out the junk food. But can the way you position your groceries help you get in shape? Yes it can! Just follow these tips.
Fill your eye-level shelf with fruits, vegetables, and healthy snacks. You’re 2.7 times more likely to eat food that is in your line of sight.
Watch how you pack up those leftovers. Brian Wansink, PH.D., author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think, says that a variety of small leftover containers tempt us to eat more than we’ve planned. Instead, combine the leftover entrees and sides so that each container has one meal’s worth.
Instead of grocery shopping once a week, hit the supermarket more often and buy only for the next few meals. Too many choices at home may destroy your willpower. Just make sure you shop with a list and don’t go to the store hungry.
Store your healthy snacks front and center. Stash the not so healthy snacks out of sight. Make sure you eat the healthy ones.
