Want to be healthier? Do your grocery shopping on a Monday
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Monday is the best day to do your shopping, thanks to something called 'fresh start effect'.
If you do your grocery shopping on Mondays - you are on the right track!
On Mondays, you are more likely to make healthier choices and be able to resist temptations, as we all want to start the week on a good note.

U.S. researchers found that on Mondays people are more motivated to adopt healthy, self-improving behaviour - like choosing to buy quinoa instead of a chocolate bar.
TIP: Make sure you shop on a full stomach. If you're hungry, you'll not only buy 19% more food than you need, you'll find you have 31% more high-calorie snacks in your trolley, too.
On which day of the week do you do your shopping?
