Most people think it’s a bad idea to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach...
They’re right. A recent study looked at what we buy when we’re hungry - and it isn’t good. The problem isn’t necessarily buying too much food - it’s which foods we choose. Most of us wind up packing the cart with FAR more calories when we’re hungry.
The study consisted of two shopping groups. Both had not eaten for five hours but one group was given crackers before hitting the aisles. The non-cracker group bought 23% more processed and junk foods. What’s worse, you and your family will have to live with that hungry shopping mistake for the rest of the week. If you’re really hungry, buy and eat a small snack as soon as you step foot in the store to take the edge off.
