Alright now, we’re not implying anything. We can’t even see you. But hey, it’s about that time – for all of us. The battle of the belt’s the main event. Our somewhat fickle post-holiday weather has strongarmed us into entertaining our comfort food kick instead of starting on the healthy choices we need to make to get ready for spring. Not nice.
It’s time for a dietary intervention. Here’s the GRANDADDY SUPERFOOD SHOPPING LIST to get you in gear for the new you. We were super-excited when we found this list, because you can find just about ALL of these foods here at Constantino’s (as long as they’re available to us).
Just pull it up on your phone, come in, start shopping. You can do it!
All of these foods are really delicious, energy-giving, nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants & polyphenols which help you rev up your calorie burn & curb your cravings - to help you shed those pounds. You’ll be fighting disease in the process, and you’ll feel great when you start mixing them into your diet.
