What will be a dieters ideal grocery list?

Question

I'm very good at grocery shopping, love to use coupons and buy store brand to save as much money as possible. But when i comes to a dieting grocery list i have trouble finding what i should really be eating vs. what i shouldn't be eating.. PLZ HELP

Answer 1

I get it that the stuff in the grocery store that is unhealthy and very tempting. But, you should try to ignore what is around you and go to the stuff you need. If you eat white bread try wheat...its hearty and delicious. Try to eats loads of veggies... if you don't like plain veggies add something kind of unhealthy to spice it up...say....pb and celery. Hopefully you find my ideas intersting and useful.

frozen vegetablee burger

frozen turkey burgers

frozen chicken b*****s

apples

baby carrots

oatmeal

healthy choice low calorie bread with flax seed

fruit cups

bagged lettuce

light or fat free dressing

Answer 3

you should always have lots of fruits and vegetables and the best fruits and vegetables are the ones that are dark colored because that means they have a lot of nutrients and antioxidants. also a study shows that dark colored fruits and veggies fight cancer!! also green leafy vegetables are great for you!

Dark green vegetables:

bok choy

broccoli

collard greens

dark green leafy lettuce

kale

mesclun

mustard greens

romaine lettuce

spinach

turnip greens

watercress

Berries:

strawberries

blueberries

raspberries

cherries

Oranges and grapefruits curve your appetite!

Bad foods include: things that have high fructose corn syrup, aspartame or any artificial sweetners

Answer 6

Best rule of thumb that I live by- buy only whole grains.  I don't buy any bleached flour, refined flour, pasta, crackers, bread, rice, etc....unless it is whole grain.  That will make a huge difference.  Then, buy lots of frozen veggies and fruit, because you want to have them on hand, conveniently cut up for you, and not going rotten.  Soy milk is a godsend for me, soooo good.  And beans are always cheap, good, and fill you up and healthy.  V-8 is good to tide you over.  And nuts.
