Here is a typical grocery list for me and DH. The chicken wings would be hard to give up but I'm curious how you would alter the other items on the list.. Which need to be eliminated and which would you modify with a lower fat version?
Omega-3 hard-boiled eggs
Bacon
Natural Peanut Butter
Chili Lime or Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings (not breaded)
Chicken Thighs with skin
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Ground Beef
Lean Steaks
Chunk Light Tuna – Sweet & Spicy flavored
String Cheese
Classic Melts Cheddar Cheese
Mozzarella cheese
Sour Cream
Whipping Cream
Cream Cheese
Full Fat Mayonnaise
Raw Spinach Leaves
Bell Peppers
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Onions
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Spaghetti Squash
Mushrooms
Zucchini
Black Olives
Avacado

Do you have the book yet? Great you are doing your research! I became frustrated because I didn't understand things. I asked questions of my sister, but until I got INTO the meat << no pun intended>> of issues, I started to have fun. I am now down 12. 5 since 9.8.
Happy Eating!
