Well I am off soon to go shopping and was just wondering what some of your " must haves " are.
I get tired of the same old stuff so any new ideas help greatly!

Pull out some of your favorite recipes (that you have sworn off of) and see what you can do to make them healthier. Maybe even make the portion size a little smaller. That way you can have some food that you enjoy and not feel totally deprived.

Good Luck!

I try to make sure my food is simple. I don't buy any branded diet food. Also, a trick I use: If the list of ingredients is longer than 6 things, don't buy it.

Thanks everyone! I got lots of good, healthy food. I found some dressing made by walden farms. No calories,fat,or carbs but
I wonder how IS this possible? Has anyone else.tried this line?
