There's no single, super-popular diet right now, says Cindy Moore, MS, RD, nutrition director for the Cleveland Clinic. "Even when the hot diet bursts onto the scene, just reading it is no guarantee you will lose weight."

After years of obsessing about weight loss, first shunning high-fat foods and then high-carb ones, it seems Americans are giving up formal diets in favor of healthy eating and wholesome foods.

Is the supermarket a place where you listen to elevator music while dragging your feet through aisle after aisle in boredom? Or is it a chance to fill your cart with choices and maybe get handed a free sample while you shop?

Despite the music, supermarket shopping can be interesting. Before you grab a shopping cart and head for the aisles, check out these tips for smart and healthy supermarket shopping.

Some tips from me.....

• Eat 5-6 times a day!
• Cut corners on calories anywhere you can!
• Drink Water
• Eat a hearty Breakfast
• Quick pick-me-up before or after a trip to the gym try yogurt. Since it's technically a liquid, it breaks down more readily than solids, providing the energy your body craves at a faster speed. Yogurt also contains that nice balance of protein and carbohydrate.
