    GROCERY LIST!!! (Finally)
    Posted on November 2, 2011

    Ok, here’s the grocery list that we’ve all been waiting for. Notice that there are substitutes and guidelines about certain foods. I’m not saying you need to buy everything I buy, but this is what I buy. Remember this is customized to me and my lifestyle. I’ll probably have more options of certain brands I use in the near future, but I’m seeking their permission first. I’ll have something up soon with many more alternatives, recipes, etc. , but for now I can’t answer everyone’s specific questions. Also, no, you don’t have to go to a whole foods type store to buy these things. I don’t. I buy these from a normal local grocery store. But that’s totally up to you where you decide to buy these things.

    Week 1 Grocery List (For Substitutions See bottom of Post)

    Fruits:

    10 bananas
    8 apples
    1 container blueberries

    Vegetables:

    5 zucchini
    5 squash
    Handful of fresh green beans
    1 head of broccoli
    1 head of cauliflower
    Bell peppers and/or Onions
    1 large container of spinach

    Meats:

    Frozen or Fresh Chicken Breasts (depending on family size the amount will differ, but I purchase enough for the whole week)
    Ground Lean Turkey Meat (Packages of meat generally have a percentage showing the fat content. Example: 97/3 , 80/20 etc. Try and get the MOST lean possible. I buy 97/3 whenever possible)
    Frozen Lean Fajita Meat- Pre-seasoned in bag (Frozen Meat Section is where I find this)
    Salmon (Fresh or Frozen or ANY kind of fish)
    Turkey Lunch Meat

    Seasoning:

    Mayo (w/ Olive Oil in it)
    Sun Dried Tomato Seasoning Marinade for Meat (You can purchase whatever marinade you think you’ll like on your meats just look at the back to make sure the sugar is LOW)
    Small Container of Sea Salt
    No or Low Sodium Seasonings of any kind

    Snacks:

    Almonds (Many brands make different flavored almonds like sea salt, chile lime, etc. Any flavors are fine)
    Protein Bars (LOW CARB/SUGAR, HIGH FIBER BARS. Be careful on this one to review the nutritional facts on the back of the box. Many protein bars have high sugar content. Try to find a bar that has 4 grams of sugar or less)
    Beef Jerky

    Dairy:

    Eggs (or Egg White Substitute or both)
    Unsweetened Almond Milk
    Zero Calorie Butter Spray

    Misc:

    Peanut Butter (be careful on this one too. You’ll want to find a quality “natural” peanut butter brand. These will have better oils for your body then normal peanut butter brands)



    Substitutes and/or Further Recommendations



    Feel free to substitute the fruits for other fruits you enjoy more: ie. Peaches, pears, etc. However, you will need the bananas for the spinach shake I will show you how to make week 1.
    Feel free to substitute the vegetables for different vegetables you (or your family) prefer. Also, if cost is a huge issue and you don’t feel like you can afford fresh vegetables then buy frozen. It’s better to have frozen vegetables then none at all, though it’s always preferred to steam vegetables when possible.
    If it’s necessary for you to eat processed carbs stay away from ones with: High Sugar, Sodium, and saturated fats. SO STAY AWAY FROM THOSE THREE S’s!!!
    Try to drink enough WATER so that you have at least one clear urination a day
    Prepare your meals in ADVANCE! I cannot stress this enough. I will discuss this is greater detail starting day one on my journey back to Fit. This will help you save TIME and better prepare you to avoid bad eating habits
