When you go grocery shopping, use a grocery list of healthy foods. Make sure that 80 percent of the foods you buy come from the Healthy Food category, and avoid the junk foods as much as possible. Buy a variety of the healthy foods to be sure that you have ample ingredients to make tasty healthy meals. Use recipes that feature healthy ingredients, and keep a supply of herbs, garlic and any of your other favorite seasonings. Buy your convenience foods from heath food stores so that the ingredients will be healthier than conventional frozen and packaged meals.
