The shopping list is important because….
It is a fundamental step to be successful with diet, ( diet always meant as a lifestyle, not as a sacrifice).
The steps are simple, after understanding what foods are made of through my guide …
Now we can proceed! After reading my guide, you have definitely cleared your mind and finally figured out what you were doing wrong when you were on a diet and didn’t have lasting results.
From today, when you go to the supermarket you will look at it with different eyes and put in the cart what you need and that really works to reach your goals.
An excellent shopping list starts with a good MEAL PLAN and a good meal plan is built with the knowledge of the balanced SINGLE PLATE.
Let’s take a quick review of the rules of the balanced single dish :
- it must contain all 3 macronutrients: CARBOHYDRATES, PROTEINS, AND FATS.
- presence of vegetables (cooked or raw)
- just eat that, don’t go to the pantry or the fridge to nibble on anything else.
- give an aesthetic sense to the dish, you must visually like what you eat. Photograph all the dishes you prepare and publish them on social networks with the hashtag #dietfulness
- feel satisfied and delighted with the dish you eat, this will allow you to eat it slowly and enjoy it and you will avoid the concrete mixer effect!
After this review, let’s develop and “break up” the meal plan process and obviously the shopping list.
Here is the vision of a weekly planner. I divided the endless week into cubes and we have: 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, and 7 dinners, plus there is a box for extras (snacks, snacks, etc.)
Each cube must contain a complete meal as I described above.
I’ll give you some examples: Wednesday evening at my house is PIZZA DAY, so in the Wednesday dinner box I enter “pizza”.
3 times a week I go to work out in the gym at lunchtime, when I come back at 3 pm I eat, I know that those 3 lunches must be nice and rich in carbohydrates ( to build muscles and to speed up the metabolism), so I will create meals that include many carbohydrates with proteins and fats.
On other days you may prefer fish, legumes, new recipes. Help yourself with the internet to look for new recipes!
You don’t have to fill in all the boxes, there will be those days when you will eat out or you will be invited. If you know you have dinner on Saturdays, leave it blank in the square.
You are now ready to compile your shopping list for weight loss!
You are now ready to write.
The meal plan is ready! Now you can write your shopping list and go to the supermarket. Check the pantry, fridge, and freezer to find out what you already have, so you avoid buying them back.
Are you ashamed to go to the supermarket with a shopping list? It happened to me, going to the supermarket with a skimpy piece of paper made me feel “poor”, then I adopted a reverse technique.
I don’t go to the super with a skimpy piece of paper but with my beautiful diary/planner.
This is it! On one side is the planner and on the other is the sheet to write the list. Going to the supermarket with her makes me feel super hot, I don’t feel poor, I feel ……. yes, I feel the author of DietFulness!
Extra tip: keep your shopping lists, this will allow you to review them after months and will help you remember the food you bought but didn’t remember right now!
All this is perfect if you have family and children because you can adopt a section even to the little ones and prepare complete and healthy meals for them.
I know your family members aren’t on a diet, but with DietFulness, neither are you!
I hope this article has clarified your ideas and gave you some interesting insights.
Creating a shopping list to lose weight and stay fit is not difficult, you just need a few minutes of planning to have some free time during the week!
Investing time for yourself and creating new healthy habits is the fundamental step for your success!
That’s it for today!
