WHAT SHOULD BE IN MY CABINETS??

Skim mild, light cheese sticks, all natural turkey. whole wheat light bread or english muffins. Peanut butter, yogurt, fruit, veggies.
Almonds, granola bars.

Healthy snack that would be good; dried cranberries, raisins, apples, bananas (really good after hard workouts but high in calories). I went from 2 percent milk to 1 percent milk and I like it. Get some vitamins (just to make sure you keep up on everything your body needs that you may miss in your diet (hopefully won't be much)). Figure out if you like water, if not try something that will help you drink it more often, like lemon juice or crystal lite. Hope you get more people to comment and good luck! Oh and don't deprive yourself of everything that you use to eat or you might end up binging when you get it again.

Fresh fruits & veggies
Greek Yogurt
Chicken Breasts, Fish, Lean ground turkey/beef
Whole Wheat Bread/Sandwich Thins

oatmeal, spinach/dark lettuces (put 'em in smoothies!), a reusable water bottle, unsalted pretzel sticks (if you can find them), whole wheat pasta (if you aren't getting rid of pasta in general...)

nuts in general (unsalted, without sweeteners).

I stock up with- Almond milk, yogurt, plenty of fruit, spinach, cucumbers, fresh/frozen veggies, salad greens, salsa, low fat cheese, flat bread, apple sauce, Nutella, almond butter (I just don't like PB), tea, Zone bars and flour (I use whole wheat, brown rice or oat). I also use chicken (boneless/skinless) or the Morningstar Farms line of meatless stuff- meatballs, burgers, etc.

Go to a farmers market and stock up on fruits and veggies first, make a fruit salad and cut up veggies with low fat dip for snacks. I try to fill up the house with that stuff so when I go to the store I have to keep in mind I have no room for the crap I used to buy I have to limit my shopping to just our planned meals.

All the suggestions here are fantastic. One good rule of thumb when in the grocery store is to not travel down the aisles. Stay in the parameter of the store. The only things I go down the aislie for are canned tuna; diced tomatoes and canned beans (I used a lot of dried beans). My daily diet consists of fresh fruit, veges (fresh or frozen), skim milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken or fish, eggs, beans and oatmeal.

I stay away from all processed foods, so when I want something crunchy, I make a batch of spicy roasted chick peas. They're great!!!

Yoghurt
Skim milk
Fruit (banana, apple, berries)
Plain oats and muesli
Reduced fat cheese
Some chicken/turkey and (white) fish (such as tilapia) in the freezer
Veggies (I always have lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, some canned veg like corn, peas and beans and then whatever I'm planning on eating, usually broccoli, courgette, carrots, mushrooms)
Canned chopped tomatoes
Herbs for seasoning
Canned tuna
Eggs
Healthy (so not sugar-loaded, preferably natural) muesli/nut bars
Some dry roasted nuts to sprinkle on yoghurt or as a snack
Whole-wheat wraps
Brown rice
Whole-wheat pasta
Natural sweetener
and I usually have some sugar-free jam as well. Then there'll be all the fresh stuff you'll need for your meals.

Great suggestions here already. I recommend you stay away from soy milk, soy protein, any thing with soy, sorbitol, lecithin since you are hypothyroid. It can inhiibit your thyroid function. I even go for the Tom's or Arm'nHammer (some types) toothpastes so I don't get soy absorbed sublingually brushing my teeth. The recommendation to stay on the perimiter is a good one. I usually start in the produce and buy salad makings and the veggies I like. No point buying things you won't eat. Sweet potatoes if you like them. Fruits - I like berries and melons as they are lower in sugars, and avocados for the healthy fats and other nutrients. Fish, especially tuna, salmon, and halibut (omega 3's), turkey, chicken, and other lean meats. Many have said Oatmeal. If you do that, take the time to cook the whole oatmeal, not the instant. You lose the nutritional value and the fiber. I'm gluten free, so I don't do the whole wheat, but I use corn tortillas for wraps, mini pizzas, etc. I also get baked tostadas and baked corn chips for those times you really need a crunchy snack. I like unsweetened almond milk for a milk substitute. The flavor's good. The Chocolate almond milk is very rich and a nice treat when you really need it.

Something others may not like seeing here but works for me: I keep a sweet treat that is only 95 calories on hand, put away out of sight. If I'm really having cravings and I make it through the day with 100 calories left over, I reward myself with one large chocolate covered caramel. Takes care of the cravings and is the carrot at the end of the stick to help me get through the day.

Get something that you can keep in your purse, car, or desk for the times you really need a snack. I keep nuts or granola bars. After you find some you like, check warehouse stores for bulk packages so you have them on hand. High protein snacks and meals keep me from feeling as hungry between meals.

Don't change everything at once or it will be harder to stick with it! Hope you come home with a bunch of yummy stuff!

I agree with having a "prize" type snack in the house to keep you from going and doing things that will make you feel bad. ie skinny cow ice cream(not a big box) to keep you from going to DQ

i have a stash of girl scout cookies and eat just one. it will soon be replaced with a stash of the small individually wrapped reese's cups. im glad im not the only one who does this! haha but i agree with them always being away out of sight so that i dont snack on them randomly, just when im having a bad sweet craving.

First of all, keep it simple. You can take alot of simple ingredients and make an outstanding meal.

Fresh and Frozen fruits and veggies of your choice.
White meat chicken and turkey.
greek yogurt
Skim milk or Almond milk if you don't want dairy
low fat cheese
low fat salad dressing. I like Kens salad dressings, but what ever floats your boat.
water, water, water
whole grain bread and pasta
For your sweet tooth, frozen yogurt or skinny cow icecream

The colorful and leafier the fruits and veggies
Nuts are good

The less processed the better. Try to stay away from processed foods. They have tons of crap you just don't need to add to your diet.

I didn't take the time to read all posts so I'm sorry if I am repeating but here goes...

If you can find a store near you that carries Walden Farms...get some of those to try. They are 0 everything (carbs, fat, sodium...everything). I get the 0 fat Greek Yogurt and the Walden Farms strawberry syrup...very good "sweet" snack. There are a bunch of different WF products...check em out and then use them to come up with things you like. Other than that....

Boneless/Skinless chicken breasts (this is a must!)
Eggs
Any/All veggies (I get a big bag of frozen broccoli and steam 2 cups for a quick side dish with lunch or dinner)
Mio's (helps keep the water from getting boring and its 0 everything)
whatever seafood you like (shrimp with veggies stir fry using just a little bit of olive oil is a great meal)
Sea Salt (your body needs sodium, but table salt spikes your BP where sea salt (1/4 teaspoon a day) will keep you from getting dehydrated if you are cranking up your water intake)

Not knowing how you are going about losing weight, it is a little tough to give you too much advice, but here are a couple of good high protein (will make you feel full and help keep you from losing muscle mass while losing fat)...

Pure Protein bars make for a good snack to keep your sugar levels even
EAS / Carb Conscious shakes (good for a quick breakfast)
Both of these can be found at Wal Mart in the pharmacy section, or at Wahlgreens,CVS, etc.
