The Ultimate Weight Loss Secret

Hi Everyone

Thought I’d let you in on my shopping list this week either for ideas or inspiration.

I’m really focusing at the moment on transforming my lifestyle and my body.

After reading alot of different material (including Valerie’s book) I’ve decided to make a choice to look at eating healthy and exercising not as a "diet" but a lifestyle choice that will benefit me in all areas.

I really hope that some of this is getting across to our readers and encouraging you all to make some changes in your life.

Anywayyyy. . .

This is what I bought on my Sunday supermarket visit

Chicken breast - I baked/grill these with veges for dinner.

Turkey - I grab this from the deli and use it in wraps for lunch or a snack.

Cottage Cheese - This is great with veges or some people even mix it with berries.

Low Fat Cheese - I try not to eat this too much but it’s nice to have a sprinkle on salad or a wrap.

Low Fat 100% Natural Yoghurt - I mix this with a scoop of frozen berries for a yummy snack.

Frozen Veges - I find this easier than having to peel and chop veges for each meal, particularly during the day.

Frozen Spinach - This was a new addition this week because spinach is SUPER high in vitamins, iron and fibre.

Wholemeal Pasta - Again I try not to eat this too much but if I’m craving pasta wholemeal is the best choice.

Pomegranate Juice - Pomegranates are higher in antioxidants than most other juices (even green tea).

Rice Wraps - These are just like tortilla wraps but they have only 70 cals each, low GI, cholesterol and preservative free.

Multivitamin - I decided to grab a multivitamin this week after watching Oprah and writing this post.

98% Fat Free Tzatziki - I looooooooooove Tzatziki. I have it with raw veges or on wraps and it’s YUM!

Australian Women’s Health magazine - I love reading health mags, I think they’re great for inspiration.

And that’s a wrap . . .

I already had some fresh fruit, fresh veges, eggs, skim milk and protein powder at home otherwise those would have been added to the list too

Figuring out what foods are right for weight loss is confusing at the best of times, let alone when you’re standing in the shopping aisle with a MILLION different foods and brands staring you down.

I’ve put together a list of whole foods for weight loss. These foods simply HAVE to feature on your shopping list not only if you are trying to lose weight but also if you want to live as healthy as you can. There are heaps of different foods that fuel weight loss so you won’t be limited to endless amounts of cabbage and water!
