8 Diabetes Grocery Shopping Mistakes To Avoid
You know how it is…. You have excellent intentions…. But when you head into the supermarket, suddenly the thousands of products available overwhelm you. So many food labels, advertisements, and even food sampling tables attempt to derail you. On busy days, just the cart traffic can be stressful. Check out these common mistakes and some suggested remedies….. 1. Shopping Without a List Going to the store unprepared — This is, by far, the biggest mistake people make while shopping. In order to avoid impulse purchases, or wasteful spending, be sure to plan ahead. Make your weekly meal plan, including breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. List all the necessary ingredients on your shopping list. Many phone apps are out there, to help you keep organized. After you have your list of needed supplies, stick to that list! Step away from the bakery aisle and the candy in the check-out lane. Tips: Plan ahead, make a list, and stick to it. 2. Not Taking Advantage of Sales Checking the weekly specials can save you a lot of money. Shopping fresh produce in season, or seasonal offerings (think turkey in November or ham in April) is a smart way to shop. Apples may be available year-round, but certain varieties will be much less expensive in September. Watermelon will not only taste better in the summer months, it will be on sale for 4th of July week. Buying extra berries when they are on sale in the summer, and freezing them for use in winter months is cost effective. You can buy extra and freeze all sorts of fruits and vegetables – peaches, berries, asparagus, and green chiles. Weekly sale prices are also great times to stock up on stapes – canned beans, frozen vegetables, chicken breasts and thighs, and bottled water. Tips: Always take advantage of store’s weekly spec Continue reading >>

The Cost-effectiveness Of Shopping To A Predetermined Grocery List To Reduce Overweight And Obesity
Pre-commitment strategies can encourage participants to commit to a healthy food plan and have been suggested as a potential strategy for weight loss. However, it is unclear whether such strategies are cost-effective. To analyse whether pre-commitment interventions that facilitate healthier diets are a cost-effective approach to tackle obesity. Effectiveness evidence was obtained from a systematic review of the literature. For interventions demonstrating a clinically significant change in weight, a Markov model was employed to simulate the long-term health and economic consequences. The review supported modelling just one intervention: grocery shopping to a predetermined list combined with standard behavioural therapy (SBT). SBT alone and do nothing were used as comparators. The target population was overweight or obese adult women. A lifetime horizon for health effects (expressed as quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)) and costs from the perspective of the UK health sector were used to calculate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). In the base case analysis, the pre-commitment strategy of shopping to a list was found to be more effective and cost saving when compared against SBT, and cost-effective when compared against ‘do nothing’ (ICER=£166 per QALY gained). A sensitivity analysis indicated that shopping to a list remained dominant or cost-effective under various scenarios. Our findings suggest grocery shopping to a predetermined list combined with SBT is a cost-effective means for reducing obesity and its related health conditions. Recent European Union statistics revealed that the United Kingdom has more obese women (24%) than any other member state.1 Overweight and obesity was responsible for 7.3% of morbidity and mortality in the United Kingdom in Continue reading >>

Low Carb Shopping List
Looking for a low carb shopping list? Want to know what to eat? What to avoid? And what you can enjoy sometimes? Click on the image to download the printable PDF. Let’s get started. Low Carb Shopping List Check out on this page to see what I keep in my pantry. Stock just the essentials and don’t buy what you don’t need. But be prepared and get ready to start today. Once you start eating LCHF clean whole foods, your pantry will shrink as you start buying less processed, long dated foods. You will start shopping at the supermarket by walking around the outer aisles for fresh produce, meat/fish, chiller cabinets for milk and cheese etc and be avoiding the inner aisles generally reserved for long life processed food. I tend to visit the supermarket twice a week. Sunday night to stock up on fresh ingredients for the week and school lunches, then again Wednesday or Thursday. Friends often ask me if it is more expensive to eat this way, but I truly think it is cheaper. I no longer buy junk food, bread, wraps, rolls, flour, sugar, sweet treats, chocolate at the checkout, specials, buy one get one free etc. I spend more on good quality ingredients but my weekly shop is less. I also feel anything I do spend is an investment in my family and their health. This is a good article to read on how much does low carb cost? You also don’t spend money on takeaways. Just on night’s takeaway meal can easily add up to be the same cost to feed a family for a few days on real food. My go-to alternative takeaway meal is a cooked chicken and a bag of salad. Easy, peasy and sooo good. Low carb shopping list and so much more. What to buy. What to avoid. What to enjoy occasionally.Click To Tweet Remember to check the labels for carb and fat content as different brands can have hugely diff Continue reading >>
7 Grocery Shopping Tips To Help Beat Diabetes
7 grocery shopping tips to help beat diabetes If you have diabetes, a healthy diet is crucial for keeping it under control. Here are seven tips to help you maintain a healthy diet, starting at the grocery store! Make a shopping list based on the meals you've planned. And don't buy anything that isn't on the list, except for staples like toilet paper. With your list in hand, you'll find no excuse to throw junk food into your cart. Check off the items as you shop so you won't go home missing an ingredient. If you're hungry, you're more likely to come home with things youshouldn'tbe eating. Like convenience foods in packages that are high in sugar, fat or salt. If you've just eaten a fresh summer peach before you get to the grocery store, it'll remind you to buy more of them while you're there. If you go to the same supermarket every week, you probably know the layout well. While making your shopping list, think about the path you take when you're navigating the aisles and write your list out in that order. This can prevent backtracking through any departments, helping you avoid impulse buys. You can also come up with a shopping plan that works around the aisles that contain tempting junk foods. This is where you'll find the fresh, whole foods produce, yogurt, chicken and fish. Of course, you'll need to venture into the belly of the store for your olive oil, canned tomatoes, beans, whole grains and cereals. Fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables, should take up the bulk of your shopping cart. In her heyday, Grandma never laid eyes on candy-coloured fruit snacks or granola bars laden with chocolate. But she would have recognized fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, fish and other "whole" foods in their natural state. Buy bananas instead of banana-flavoured pudding, a Continue reading >>
8 Foods That Need To Be On A Diabetics Shopping List
Searching for foods that need to be on a diabetics shopping list? Visit www.BetterHealthKare.com When you or someone you love is diagnosed with diabetes, one of the questions you might have may revolve around diet. Understanding the impact your diet has on the disease is crucial when living with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. The bulk of a diabetic’s diet should revolve around fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meats and whole grains. While no one food is completely off limits, patients should try to keep in mind that certain foods should only be eaten in small quantities and not on a daily basis. Learning more about food planning and foods that need to be on a diabetic grocery list can also help you better control your blood sugar. To help you with food planning, let’s take a closer look at the top 8 foods that should be on a diabetic shopping list: Flaxseeds – Flaxseeds are an incredible source of antioxidants known as lignans, and contain both insoluble and soluble fiber. Plus, the National Institutes of Health believe flaxseed could help lower A1C levels in people with Type 2 diabetes! Tomatoes – Tomatoes are great to add to a diabetic grocery list because they contain lycopene and help combat inflammation. Plus, they are considered a “nonstarchy” vegetable.

Keep in mind that old-fashioned and steel cut oats are actually lower glycemic foods, but instant oatmeal can have added sugar and cause blood sugar to spike quickly. Spinach – This is a great addition to any diet because it contains an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Plus, the American Diabetes Association’s recent study sh Continue reading >>
Essential Foods For Seniors With Diabetes
One in 10 Americans have diabetes and another 84 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing the disease, according to Health.gov. One of the best ways for people with diabetes to lower their risk, is to eat right and live a healthier life. November is American Diabetes Month and to recognize the month, we’ve compiled a list of must-have foods, shopping tips and resources for seniors with diabetes.

Simply by controlling portion size, eating right and sticking to regular mealtimes, it’s possible to help keep blood sugar and body weight within the target range. That’s the core of a diabetes diet. A diabetes diet, according to A Place for Mom Senior Nutrition experts, is also naturally rich in nutrients and low in calories and fat, with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. But what does that mean for your shopping list? Foods That Diabetics Should Avoid If you or a loved one has diabetes, there are a handful of foods whose intake must be limited. It doesn’t mean you have to go through your kitchen and pitch every grain of sugar you see, but it does mean paying attention to how much of these items you consume. Seniors with diabetes should avoid or limit: Alcohol intake Cholesterol: The Mayo Clinic suggests no more than 200 mg per day Fat: In particular, avoid foods containing saturated fat or trans fat Salt: Canned, packaged and processed foods are often culprits when it comes to hidden sodium — you want to aim for 2,000 mg per day or less Sugar: Watch out for extra sugar in drinks and packaged snack foods Foods T Continue reading >>
Best And Worst Foods For Diabetes
Your food choices matter a lot when you've got diabetes. Some are better than others. Nothing is completely off limits. Even items that you might think of as “the worst" could be occasional treats -- in tiny amounts. But they won’t help you nutrition-wise, and it’s easiest to manage your diabetes if you mainly stick to the “best” options. Starches Your body needs carbs. But you want to choose wisely. Use this list as a guide. Best Choices Whole grains, such as brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, millet, or amaranth Baked sweet potato Items made with whole grains and no (or very little) added sugar Worst Choices Processed grains, such as white rice or white flour Cereals with little whole grains and lots of sugar White bread French fries Fried white-flour tortillas Vegetables Load up! You’ll get fiber and very little fat or salt (unless you add them). Remember, potatoes and corn count as carbs. Best Choices Fresh veggies, eaten raw or lightly steamed, roasted, or grilled Plain frozen vegetables, lightly steamed Greens such as kale, spinach, and arugula. Iceberg lettuce is not as great, because it’s low in nutrients. Low sodium or unsalted canned vegetables Go for a variety of colors: dark greens, red or orange (think of carrots or red peppers), whites (onions) and even purple (eggplants). The 2015 U.S. guidelines recommend 2.5 cups of veggies per day. Worst Choices Canned vegetables with lots of added sodium Veggies cooked with lots of added butter, cheese, or sauce Pickles, if you need to limit sodium -- otherwise, pickles are okay. Sauerkraut, for the same reason as pickles -- so, limit them if you have high blood pressure Fruits They give you carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Most are naturally low in fat and sodium. But they tend to have more carbs Continue reading >>
Nutritionists’ 9 Tricks For Grocery Shopping With Diabetes
istock/anandaBGD Have a light snack, such as a string cheese and a small apple, before you leave for the grocery store. The fuel will help prevent excessive hunger pangs and keep your blood sugar steady, both of which can cut down on impulse buys. Don't leave home without a shopping list (another tactic to avoid buying unhealthy fare you didn't plan on purchasing). “This will ensure that you have healthful foods on hand at home all week long,” says Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, a certified diabetes educator and author of the Reader’s Digest book 2-Day Diabetes Diet. istock/bbostjan “The only ingredient listed on the label should be the name of the fruit you are buying,” says Alana Fiorentino, RDN, a certified diabetes educator in New York City. If you prefer canned fruit, make lower-sugar choices by selecting fruits in 100 percent fruit juice or water—and avoiding fruit canned in syrup. “Light syrup” may sound healthy, but it usually has added sugar. A ½ cup portion of Mandarin oranges canned in water, for instance, has 45 calories and 7 grams of sugar, while the light-syrup version has 90 calories and 18 grams of sugar. Here, compelling reasons fruit is healthy for diabetics. Opt for low-sodium soup istock/mrtom-uk If you have diabetes, you also have a higher risk of heart disease. So aim to cap your daily sodium intake at less than 2,300 milligrams and keep in mind that your doctor or dietitian may advise lowering this amount if you have other heart disease risk factors, such as hypertension. Canned soup tends to be high in sodium: A cup of chicken-noodle soup can contain 950 milligrams, a large proportion of your daily intake. A low-sodium version, on the other hand, has less than half that amount. Choose soup with less than 500 milligrams of sodium per se Continue reading >>
