Shop smart.

聪明购物法。
Always shop with a grocery list, and stick to it.
Shop after you eat, not before. Trying to shop for just a few things when you’re hungry is like trying to take a tiny sip of water when you’re dying of thirst.
Try to do your shopping with somebody else. You’ll be less likely to pick up food your hips clearly don’t need.
Steer clear of the “addiction aisles” — the ones lined with potato chips and other high-fat, high-calorie snacks on one side, soda pop, liquor and candy along the other. The same goes for other areas you don’t need to expose yourself to, from the in-store bakery to the lady handing out the free food samples.
Take along a limited amount of money. That chocolate cake with whipped cream icing next to the frozen corn may look awfully tempting, but since you brought only enough money for the corn, you’ll have to pass on the cake.
Don’t shop for treats for others. Be honest with yourself. Those snacks will most likely end up in your mouth long before the others even see them.

购物时一定要带着清单，并坚持只买清单上的东西。
餐后再去买东西，而不要在餐前去买。当你肚子饿时，要你试着只买几样东西，就好象你口渴得要命时却只能喝一小口水一样，那是不可能的。
试着和别人一起去购物。你比较不可能会挑选使你发胖的食物。
避开超市里的“上瘾走道”――这些走道上一边排列着洋芋片和其它高脂、高卡路里的零食，另一边则排列着汽水、烈酒和糖果。另外有些区域从店内的面包部到小姐分发免费食物试吃的地方也是少去为妙。
带着限定数量的钱去购物。那个在冷冻玉米旁涂满奶油糖霜的巧克力蛋糕可能看起来极度诱人，但因为你只带够买玉米的钱，所以就只好放弃那个蛋糕啰。
别为了招待别人而购物。对自己要诚实。那些零食可能早在别人看都还没看到之前就已进了你的嘴巴了。
