If you were going to the grocery store starting from scratch, what would be on your list to help you with your diet? I always find it interesting what others are eating and new ideas.

I always stop by produce first. I grab a bag of green vegetables (greens, watercress, spring mix salad . . . yum), then a fruit (like an apple or orange). And we must not forget the carrots.0

Egg beaters, almond milk, carrots, tzatziki sauce, celery. lettuce, green pepper, grape tomatoes, salmon, cod, tuna, tilapia, chicken, soyjoy bars, bananas, various side dish veggies like green beans/peas, two cases of water and some low calorie cheese sticks.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.. but they're things that I consume often!0 -
Chicken
Fish (pink and white)
Almond Milk
Low sugar Granola
Ruby Red Grapefruit, apples, celery, nectarine, peaches, strawberries, butternut squash, yellow squash, zuchinni, prunes, all kinds of dried fruit, spinich, and brocolli...yummy!
Hummus
Peanut Butter, low fat butter, coconut oil
Almonds, walnuts
Sandwich meats, low fat cheeses
Cottage Cheese (2% or higher)
Fage 0% Total
Eggs

Chicken, chicken, and more chicken. ( I buy the boneless skinless breasts on sale)
whole toasted almonds
green beans
plenty of bell pepeprs for pepper soup and a pepper sauce for the chicken

nothing worse than bland food to make you feel like you're "dieting", when all you're doing is trying to make a lifestyle change.
not condiments though, those have calories!
things like chilli powder, dill, oregano, thyme, parsley, garlic salt, etc. will really help your food stay yummy even if its really good for you!!
