Grocery List Staples



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

When I have done low carb in the past, I have a running list of things I buy to keep stocked up on for healthier eating:

Berries

Greek Yogurt

Asparagus

Tomatoes

Avocados

chicken

Turkey Bacon

Turkey Breast

Laughing Cow cheese

Ak Mak Crackers

Citrus Fruits

eggs

Fish/Shellfish

What are your staples? Have you had to omit healthy foods because of intolerance now?

Would love to some new things to add to my list.

U don't really have any staples other than cheese and lunch meat. I love to cook and try new food. Still a foodie. I don't consider myself a low carber either. But asparagus might be tough on your tummy at first.

I've been eating asparagus (I roast it in the oven with olive oil) and it's been okay so far. I have not really delved into salads yet..hear that its not tolerated well.

I make a lot of Soups as well as stews.

One thing I haven't seen listed is PB2 - its powdered peanuts! It also comes in chocolate peanut!

If you are a Peanut Butter lover, this is a lifesaver. You can add it to your Protein shakes for a Peanut Butter flavor. Or, you can mix it with Water or skim milk to make peanut butter. And it only has 45 calories for 2 tbs as opposed to 190-200 in the same amount of peanut butter.

I'm so happy someone talked about PB2! I'd heard the expression here but didn't know what it was good for! Sounds....like a dream come true! Good for the mushy food stage 4?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
