Stay On The Outside!!!

I made a quick stop at the grocery store a couple of days ago and whenever I shop, I make a point to, 'shop the perimeter'. All of the fresh produce, meat, fish, dairy (low fat), is located on the perimeter of the grocery stores, while the aisles are usually stocked with junk (chips, pop, etc.) If you want to lose body fat 'shop the perimeter'...If you want to provide your body with 'high octane fuel' then 'shop the perimeter'.
The best analogy that I can give you is your car...if you have a car that requires Premium gasoline, then that is what you will use when you fill your car up, not Regular Unleaded. If you car requires Regular Unleaded gasoline, I would have to assume that you would not put a sugar and water mix in your gas tank. So WHY, do so many people spend their time skipping down the aisles of the grocery store picking up all the processed foods, frozen dinners, Kraft dinners etc. Isn't it amazing that most of us take better care of our cars than our own bodies?? We want our kids to be safe in our cars but shouldn't we take better care in our own health so we will be around for our kids?? Remember the better choices are on the outside;Shop the perimeter!
