I also have a three year old and have learned to incorporate the best of both worlds. Envision your plate divided into three--one part veggies, one part protein and one part carbs. Make these three parts for a meal and serve them to your family. Now for your plate--give yourself half and half of the veggies and protein. Now of course that's a simple meal but it's a good rule of thumb to follow when meal planning.
I buy almost all of the same things, however, I do buy more meat and more vegetables because obviously I eat them more. For more meal ideas, check out the recipe page. It always helps to plan and cook in advance and freeze so when you're in a hurry all you have to do is reheat.
For snacking, alwasy keep cubed cheese, chopped veggies and dip, or even leftover meats on hand. Some ladies even opt for a protein shake to get over the cravings. Most important in all of this water--the more flushed you keep your system, the better the result.
I bought some full-fat cheddar cheese, full fat salad dressings, bags of salad, cukes, veggies, eggs. Turkey bacon. those test strips (LOL) & vitamins w/o iron....
Why no iron in the vitamins? Is that a new quirk of the program that I've missed?
I had to do a shopping today too as I'm going back on Atkins after a one year absence in WWWorld.
I bought deli roast beef, ham and turkey which I will roll up around full fat cream cheese and a dill pickle for snacks.
I bought chicken wings, ground beef, pork chops, eggs, bacon, salad ingredients and regular mayo.
Also, full fat sour cream and whipping cream and butter. Whoopeee.
Please post typical shopping list....
Hi Susan!
