Here’s an inside tip we share with every client when we start working together:
You can only eat the food that you buy
(Or grow… if you grow any food!)
Not what you meant to buy… or what you’ll “grab later”...
But what actually rolled out of the store with you.
And on Wednesday night, when you’re tired, hungry, and trying to figure out what’s for dinner, that decision was actually made a few days earlier when you were grocery shopping.
Which is why the grocery store is the highest-leverage 30 minutes of your health week. Get the cart right, and you’ve made the rest of the week a whole lot easier!
A few things that help:
→ Shop with a plan. A cart built around 1–2 proteins you actually enjoy will get you a lot further than a cart full of good intentions.
→ Grab one “I don’t feel like cooking” option. Rotisserie chicken for the win.
→ Read the back of the package, not the front. The front is marketing. The back is where you find out what you’re actually buying.
As Los Gatos personal trainers, we encourage our clients to build healthy habits that make good choices easier throughout the week. A little planning at the grocery store can go a long way toward supporting your nutrition and fitness goals.
