Healthful, sustainable weight loss isn't about tedious calorie counting or diet food; it's about nourishment. Research shows that nutrition<\/a> knowledge and diet quality are linked to a lower body mass index<\/a> (BMI). Studies also show that nutritious eating patterns are tied to long-term weight loss maintenance<\/a>, which is the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n If you're on a weight loss journey, prioritize the quality of the foods you stock up on each week at the grocery store. Here's my list of the items to keep on hand, as well as suggestions for how to use these foods to build balanced meals, snacks, and treats. For some smart produce shortcuts (no peeling or chopping required), check out the frozen aisle. You can find:<\/p>\n The refrigerated section houses a few key food groups that <\/strong>can help support long-term weight loss maintenance, including:<\/p>\n RELATED: What Is a Calorie Deficit—and Is It Something You Should Use to Lose Weight? Here's What a Nutritionist Says<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Shelf-stable foods can also be beneficial for your health. For example, one food group you can find in these aisles are whole grains, which can up your intake of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants<\/a> and support weight loss. One study<\/a> found that whole grain intake was inversely associated with belly fat. Another study<\/a> showed that substituting refined grains with whole grains increased resting metabolic rate, a measure of calorie burning. Some of the shelf stable items that you should consider adding to your grocery list include:<\/p>\n Mix and match these foods from your grocery list to create a variety of nutrient-rich meals and snacks that promote weight loss and healthy weight maintenance.

Research shows that monounsaturated- and polyunsaturated-fatty acids consumption have desirable effects on body weight and fat mass. To optimize your fat intake, consider cooking with extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, nibbling on nuts or seeds in place of cheese, and opting for plant-based dips like guacamole and tahini over ranch.<\/p>\n There are some things to think about before you get to the store or log on to do your online food shopping. First up, decide how to make your grocery list. When putting future grocery lists together, think through items you'll need to make complete meals and healthy snacks<\/a>. A balanced meal should contain five components:<\/p>\n RELATED: 20 Food Subscription Boxes for Every Lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n Build your grocery list around the items you need for each meal, based on sections within the store (like I did with the aisle-by-aisle list above). This method means you'll return from your trip with everything you need to prepare meals you've already thought through. Then it's just a matter of making the time to cook. Pre-prepping can also help, so all you'll need to do is plate and re-heat your meal components. A 2021 study<\/a> in a worksite weight management program found that higher average meal planning frequency was associated with greater weight loss.<\/p>\n Also, when you shop matters. You've probably heard that you shouldn't grocery shop on an empty stomach. I agree, based on my own personal experience and stories from my clients. Being hungry makes you more vulnerable to impulse purchases you may bypass when full. A growling tummy can also cause you to feel unfocused and less able to think strategically about what you need. Plan a trip shortly after a meal, when you won't feel rushed, and bring your list.<\/p>\n Successful long-term weight loss involves developing healthy habits you can stick with. Meal planning and shopping are lifestyle changes that require a commitment, but the rewards are well worth the time and energy. Use the lists and meal ideas in this article to get started, then branch out based on your personal preferences and creativity. Apart from weight loss, you'll likely experience bonus benefits, including more energy, improved digestive health, and even better sleep<\/a>.
