Shopping and Eating Healthy in Lansing

Eating and shopping healthy has really gotten better over the years. One thing to remember is nutrition and eating right starts with smart choices at the grocery store. I have been shopping healthy and dropped 11 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Cooking up delicious and healthy meals can be a challenge if you don't have the right food in your kitchen.

I learned to always make a list of healthy items to eat, and to cook before I go to the grocery store. Not only does it save time, It helps you stick to your healthy eating plan. I picked up some great tips from webmd.com. Things like picking up whole wheat bread, pita pockets, English muffins, whole-grain flour tortillas. I like Thomas's whole wheat English muffins because they are crunchy when you toast them.

For meat and poultry, I always shop for skinless chicken (even though I do like to eat the skin) or turkey breasts, ground turkey, salmon, halibut, trout, and mackerel. I use less salt and enjoy sea salt. I also I pick up reduced sodium lunchmeat, mostly turkey and beef.

I also enjoy organic chicken, and bone broth. You can throw in fresh veggies too.
