How to Create a Diet Plan Shopping List

Creating your own diet plan will help you succeed in your weight loss goals. One way to stick with a diet plan is to organize a shopping list. With a shopping list, you will be more likely to shop for the healthy foods you need, instead of reverting to unhealthy options.

Instructions

• 1

  Choose what types of foods to eat on your diet. For healthy weight loss, fill your diet with fruits, vegetables, lean protein and complex carbohydrates. Instead of eating white bread and red meat, choose whole-wheat bread and grilled chicken, for instance. Look at a calorie-counter book if you are unsure if certain foods are healthy or not. These books offer nutritional information, such as calories and fat content. If you know how to choose healthy foods, it will be easier to create a diet plan shopping list.

• 2

  Gather your recipes. Organize all your healthy recipes in a folder. Highlight all the ingredients you will need with a marker.

• 3

  Create a grocery list. Based on the first two steps, separate your list into different grocery store departments: frozen foods, produce, beverages, dairy, meat and miscellaneous. When you are shopping, cross off the items on your list after you have put them in your grocery cart; this will keep you organized.
