We call it shopping around the outside of the supermarket, and it's how you find the food that won't kill you I'm 46. I'm obese, but in otherwise perfect health by every biological marker and test that they can run. Blood pressure is normal. Cholesterol is great. Glucose is great. A1c test is fine. Liver and kidney functions are fine. Everything's fine.

The key is, eat things from the outside ring of the store, not the middle cookie sections.

I haven't gotten that "not too much" part down yet.

That's an interesting POV. I'd have to check if my local supermarkets also have an inner circle.

For me it's mostly avoiding supermarkets alltogether except for specific (fresh) things and buy everything else online, from the producer or farmer whenever I can.
