Kristy’s Tips for the Week:
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!
It is easy to fall for mainstream marketing….Catchy labels that say “No Trans Fat,” “High in Protein,” etc., can be deceiving. This is where that good old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” comes into play. Try not to make your grocery choices based off the front of the packaging.
Get your eyes on that nutritional facts side. What ALL is in it? Quick scanning can help you avert poor choices! Maybe it is high in protein, but WHOA…it’s loaded with sugar, and look at all those chemicals. Be smart, take the tiny bit of extra time to know what you are putting in your cart.
The same goes for when you go out to eat. Looking at a menu, and thinking a picture appears healthy, or a description sounds healthy could kill your hard work. If you have an app like MyFitnessPal, type in what you are thinking of getting, and check out the nutritional facts BEFORE you order. If you don’t, stop and ask yourself a few questions…. How is it prepared? (deep-fried, cooked in butter, grilled, etc), Is is balanced? (does the meal included a smart balance of macros), Can I make an alteration to make it a healthier choice? (comes with fries so ask if you can replace with a veggie, etc). Don’t dwell at the grocery store or restaurant and let it consume you….put just enough extra effort in to avoid dwelling later on how bad you feel about making poor choices.
