Trying to lose weight? Nutritionist reveals what you should NEVER buy at the grocery store
- Replies 12
After reaching a certain age, losing weight and staying healthy is twice as hard as it used to be. Our metabolism slows down while our energy tank shrinks. So one of the best ways to shed a few pounds is to stick to a balanced diet.
Fortunately, one weight loss nutritionist shared the three food items she would never buy at the supermarket. Angela Martin from Melbourne listed the things along with a few tips in an Instagram video.
When buying a bagged salad, the nutritionist advised viewers to go for the ones placed at the back of the shelf as they usually have a longer expiry date.

Then, she admitted to never buying bacon because she doesn't like the taste of it.
'It's just something I don't enjoy eating.’ she explained.
Last but not least, Angela shared that she would never purchase a big bag of Smiths crisps but instead grabs the box of 20 small individually portioned packets.
The health coach's grocery tip amassed 25,000 views and sparked a debate about bacon. Meanwhile, some followers shared their favourite shopping hacks.

'I can't stand bacon! When my husband cooks bacon, I have to open every window in the house… The smell alone makes me feel greasy. I’m so happy that I'm not alone.’ one person wrote.
'Everyone needs bacon in their lives, otherwise, why bother?’ another argued.
'I have four kids so I buy the packets of chips on sale before portioning them into small zip lock bags myself. It saves me so much money and only takes a few minutes. I do this with Shapes as well.’ a third detailed.
'I always pick the salads at the back as well!’ a fourth commented.
This isn’t the first time Angela took the internet by storm. Previously, she shared how to meal prep a week's worth of food in just 30 minutes.
She prepared blueberry oats, vegetarian Mexican salad, mango chicken with coconut rice, Greek yoghurt, and fruits.
Angela said that preparing your meals in advance is a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle and help control hunger levels, especially if you have a busy schedule.
'If you're super busy but still want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, perhaps slim down a little, and just feel good... This is how I meal prep in under 30 minutes.’ she can be heard saying in an Instagram video.
'If you find meal prepping overwhelming and time-consuming, have a look at this prep breakdown.'

She cooked three servings of the vegetarian Mexican salad in as little as five minutes and placed a paper towel on top of the meals.
'The paper towel absorbs some of the humidity coming from the veggies so it keeps them fresher for longer.’ she explained.
For breakfast, she prepared coconut, lemon, and blueberry oats. For lunch, she made two servings of mango chicken from ALDI with coconut rice and broccolini, which she described as ‘delicious’.
Finally, for snacks, she purchased Greek yoghurt and fruit.
'Most women fail to achieve their goals because they are not prepared and they just wing it.' she said.
'All you need is a good plan of attack and a couple of simple, healthy and delicious meal ideas!’
