Smart Shopping in 10 steps 

You went to market, saw and bought. 

But when he got home and started packing purchases, realized that bought snacks and fatty meats. 

What went wrong?

 You made purchases according to old habits, and not with someone who is following new healthy eating habits. 

Follow these tips to keep the balance and blood glucose under control:

 1 Make a list.

 The meal plan you developed with the dietitian will help you decide which foods you should buy. 

Before going to the grocery store, write down what you need to decrease the chances of buying what not. 

2 Limit your trips to the market.

 Write a shopping list so you only go once or twice a week to the market.

 Besides being more efficient, it gives less opportunity for impulse purchases. 

3 Avoid shopping hungry.

 This makes us more likely to consume snacks and desserts with lots of fat

. 4 Narrow your path.

 Restrict your path to the perimeter where you will find the most fresh and healthy food: fresh produce, dairy products with low fat, lean meats and fish.

 Venture through other sections only when you need specific foods such as pasta and beans, to avoid picking up items that are not included in your diet. 

5 Pay attention to portions. 

Those cookies you love are large and contain only 12 g of carbohydrate.

 But see the portion size: a biscuit.

 Eat three cookies will count reaches 36 g carbohydrate, far more than contained in a baked potato.

 6 Ignore the packaging.

 Glows golden in piles of freshly harvested grains are a picture of good health that means nothing. 

What counts is the information on the nutritional content of the product.

 Choose foods high in fiber and low in fat and calories.

 7 Sort your beans. 

Whether bread rich in fiber? Look for information as "bread" or "100% whole wheat" on the label. 

Breads in whose labels stating just "wheat" - even if they are dark - may not contain whole grains. The true whole wheat bread contains at least 2 g of fiber per serving.

 8 Examine the language.

 Beware the words "no added sugar".

 It may mean that the product contains natural sugar.

 Look at the nutritional information, which is written "Sugars".

 9 Put more spice in your life

Instead of creamy condiments, use healthy seasonings such as basil, chives, cinnamon, cumin, curry, garlic, ginger, horseradish, nutmeg, oregano, paprika, parsley and Tabasco sauce.

 They also contain few carbohydrates, fats, protein and calories, and are considered "released" items in the diet.

 10 Do not take your eyes off the box. Wait in the queue with nothing to do: a captive audience. It is no accident that supermarkets pose certain items near the boxes. Hold some items from your cart - this prevents packets reach of bullets. -
