The Best Health Food Store

For full disclosure, I will tell you that the place I am about to tell you about and I have a profit sharing agreement. That's right, I get a percentage back on everything I purchase- 2%. Stand back - I'm an Executive Member. We're damn near partners. That place is Costco.

The other day one of my new clients told me she had to stop shopping at Costco because she only bought junk- by the case. She knew that she needed to improve her eating habits and that meant not only changing how she ate, but where she shopped. I smiled, I knew something she didn't- Costco is the best health food store there is. The good stuff is is just on a different isle than the pizza rolls. I then broke it down for her.

I make about one trip to Costco per week on average. I use use it to stock my gyms with various supplies as well as stock my own shelves at home. I have kids, so of course I buy diapers and stuff like that. But I will tell you truthfully I think it is the perfect place to buy the essentials for your fat loss nutrition plan. If you can go on a weekday, the lines are much shorter and isles are less crowded. Here is my shopping list from my last trip:

Meats Etc.
Chicken Breasts
Tri-Tip
Whole Roasted Chicken
Omega 3 Eggs
Beef Jerky

Fruits & Veggies
3lbs Broccoli florets
Bag of Spinach
Organic Salad Mix
Strawberries
Blueberries

Misc.
Bag of Almonds
Bag of Walnuts
Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Fish Oil Capsules
Bottled Water

That was just for last time. I often add salmon as well as whatever veggies happen to be looking good. The selections at your store will vary, but the staples should always be there. While you are there get a box of gallon sized freezer bags to store the extra stuff you buy for future use. Take advantage of this amazing resource and explore all the amazing fresh vegetables, fruits and meats they have to offer. If you're nice (and shell out the dough for the Executive Membership), they'll give you 2% back, too.
