I need a example of a grocery list for food that is good for you.?
Husband and I are trying to get healthy but not starve ourselves. Obviously I need salad, fruit ect. but we are used to eating fried food and lots of carb food and want to change our diet around. Cannot diet because I am pregnant. thanks
you can still do carbs–but switch to whole grain (it seems like everything is whole grain these days–bread, pasta, rice, etc.)
for breakfast, go with fiber cereals or whole grain like cheerios. drink tea instead of coffee.
for snacks, try eating a handful of nuts. i personally like to buy frozen pecans, walnuts, or fresh almonds. you could even get the nut medley that they serve in the vegetable section. Avoid frozen dinner type things (like rich pastas, etc.) as these may be low in calories (or not!) but they still tend to have trans fat (very bad for you) in them.
Like you said, lots of fresh foods–fruits, veggies. Carbs are totally ok, as long as u don’t overdo them, and kinda the same with fried foods, too (Carbs are my favorite type of food and I live in Mobile, AL where fried food is practically unavoidable, so I know how you feel!)
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Not vitamin water either.
Avoid anything that has been “processed”— a heads up that it likely contains trans fat. (cookies such as oreos,etc.). For example, if you were trying to choose between Ritz or Saltine crackers, go with the Saltines because they are more “natural”.
Though I’ve never cared too much for them myself, a lot of people like those “100 calories packs”. I think these are fine for a snack (and it’s great that they still have the flavor you are going for), but don’t use that 100 calories as an excuse to eat 2 or 3 packs of them.
Basically just eat well-rounded meals, with everything in moderation. Try and exercise for 30 minutes at least every day, even if it is just a stroll around the block, mowing the grass, walking around the mall, etc. Best of luck to you with not only your eating but the baby! Don’t deprive yourself of the good stuff like fried food, because that will just make you want it even more. Intead, keep moderation as key!
