ppf Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I started today - excited and anxious at the same time! Any hints about the grocery shopping trip? ppf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adabeie Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I had a few stumbles the first week in terms of not eating enough - it took me a while to get the right amount of protein, and remembering to include sweet potatoes helped a lot with energy and satiety. I'm on Day 29 and I'm telling you, you can do it! It's great, but not easy; planning will make the difference. And it got me out of my cooking comfort zone. Some favorites I'd never made and would heartily recommend: zucchini noodles (recipe at Clothes Make The Girl), squash potage (super simple slow cooker recipe at Turmeric and twine), another tomato sauce slow cooker recipe at the same blog, and gazpacho! I ended up with a shopping day, and cooking day, and a bunch of containers in the freezer to make the use of time more efficient. I built my shopping list around how long things would last: canned goods like coconut milk and ghee that go in so many things; semi-lengthy perishables like root vegetables, peppers, or eggs as well as garlic; and highly perishable things I'd want in the next day or two like fish, meats, mixed greens.. You're gonna kill it! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adabeie Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Oh - and eggs. Lots and lots of eggs. Good thing I like eggs, because I go through like 40 a week. 0.0 Seasonal fruit ties the meals together nicely and nuts have been my faux breading.

simonewrites Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yes! Thanks so much for your wisdom. I spent some time in a cookup today and will do the same tomorrow. I'm excited about the w30 tomato sauce I made... can't wait to taste it tomorrow! And, agreed - eggs are THE BALM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
