20 of the Unhealthiest Snacks Sold at Arizona Walmart

I'm not one for starting a diet at the New Year. It's just never felt right to me. I usually find myself turning to fitness and rethinking my calorie intake when the weather gets warmer and Spring shows up.

There's something about the world growing new life and the renewed energy that makes me feel like the time is right to rethink my health and my choices.

Finding Healthy Foods at Arizona Grocery Stores

Over the years, I've learned all the diet tricks, and a few of them have worked well for me. I'm not a doctor (or any kind of health practitioner), so I always think it's a good idea to start any new health program by talking to experts, like doctors, dieticians, and nutritionists.

It's weird, I know, but in a world of diet fads and quick fixes, this is one of those tried and true methods that works. Don't get me wrong, I've tried those, too, and had a lot of success. This time around, I thought I'd try it the old-fashioned way - and I have someone other than my mere good intentions to help me stay accountable.

With luck and hard work, this will eventually stop being a "diet" and become a lifestyle.

Shopping for Healthy Food at Your Arizona Walmart

One of the things my dietitian told me about was the pitfalls of shopping. Grocery stores like Walmart work with corporate brands to separate you from your hard-earned money.

Nicole advised me to shop the perimeter of any grocery store. Fruits, veggies, meat, and dairy products are typically located on the outer ring of the store. The aisles are packed with temptations like crackers, cookies, sodas, and other snacks that are full of unhealthy ingredients like salt, sugar, and fat.

Here's a list of the unhealthiest snacks sold at Walmart in Arizona. If you're trying to create a healthier lifestyle, avoid these products and stick to fresh foods and veggies as much as possible.

Let these snacks be an occasional treat, and you never know - maybe you'll start embracing a healthier lifestyle, too.
