As a Personal Trainer for over 23 years now ( Wow! Has it been that long!?) a big issue that my clients struggle with when trying to commit to a healthy lifestyle, is knowing "what to eat ?" and " what to purchase at the grocery store?"
There is so much conflicting information out there ( eat low carb, eat low fat, eat only grapefruit... and blah, blah, blah!!) - where do you begin?
As I say every day " 80% of what you look like is what you eat!"
That being said, here is a "Clean Eating Grocery List" to take with you for the next time you go to the store:
* Tuna Fish packed in water
*Eggs
* Lean cuts of meat ( poultry, fish, beef)
* Fresh vegetables & frozen ( stay away from canned)
* fruit
*quinoa
* oatmeal
* brown rice
* Low fat milk products - skim milk, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt , low fat string cheese
* Ezekiel Bread
* Tea
* Coffee
*bottled water
* Reduced calorie mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard
* rice cakes
* extra virgin olive oil
* Natural Peanut butter ( only 1-2 tablespoons per day = 190 calories)
* Natural ( no salt) almonds & walnuts
Once you decide to improve your diet, plan your meals, and take the practical steps of removing unhealthy and tempting foods from your kitchen ( car and/ or office!) it wont be such an overwhelming task to eat clean and get the body and results you want.
Remember: YOU CAN NOT OUT TRAIN A BAD DIET!
