How can I eat healthy when they all try and trick me?

Asked by bwalla900 (64points) June 16th, 2011

So i’ve made a decision that I want to start eating healthy and went to the grocery store. I bought things I thought were healthy and on closer inspection….realized they aren’t quite as they appear. Sure I made some good choices and most of what I bought were not horrible (as per say oreos and energy drinks) but I know they didn’t meet what I am trying to accomplish.

For example I bought wheat thins thinking they are a good snack and they have wheat and advertise how wheatful they are…but they contain high fructose corn syrup which I understand isn’t to good for you. I also bought things like Kale which is a new favorite and from my understanding was a very good choice.

Question is how can I avoid the tricks, isn’t there a grocery store just full of healthy foods? Is there a grocery list I can find online of a good mix of healthy food for both snacks dinner and breakfast?

I feel this is very challenging and with most selections out there near impossible…
