Time to Shop
  by Travis

The final weekend is upon us and it's time to gear up for the next six weeks. I haven't put together a complete shopping list yet, but I will be picking up the diet staples at some point in the next two days. Here's what the book recommends:

The Power Foods (what to really stock up on)
Almonds
Beans
Spinach
Dairy (fat-free/low fat milk and vanilla yogurt)
Instant oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored)
Eggs
Turkey, sliced
Peanut butter, all natural (no added sugar)
Olive oil
Whole grain breads and cereals
Protein powder (whey)
Raspberries

ground flax seed (1 pint)
Multi vitamin

Other (I will probably pick these up throughout the week, as needed):
Canned tuna
chicken breasts
grapefruit or other fruit
green vegetables
lean fish
lean ground beef
long grain rice
whole wheat pasta

Ingredients for recipies in book:
Baby carrots, balsamic vinegar, bananas, black beans, brown rice, canadian bacon, canned chicken stock, canned peeled tomatoes, Carnation instant breakfast packets, cayanne peppers, celery, chili powder, curry powder, dried chili mix, fat-free mayo, flour, fresh ginger, garbanzo beans, garlic, green and red bell peppers, guacamole, honey, honeydew melon, honey-wheat English muffins, Italian seasoning, jalapeno peppers, ketchup, lean sirloin steak, lean sliced roast beef, lemon, lime, lemon juice concentrate (frozen), low-fat Italian salad dressing, Mexican style tomatoes, mushrooms, navy beans, onions, onion soup mix, orange juice, paprika, parmesan cheese, reduced-fat cheese (cottage, cream, mozzarella, Swiss, American, cheddar), raisin bread, raisins, romaine lettuce, salsa, saltine crackers or bread crumbs, spaghetti sauce, stir-fry sauce, sweet corn, Tabasco sauce, tortillas, trans-fat free margarine, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, whole-wheat pitas, Worcestershire sauce

Obviously, there's no need to pick up everything on the list, but as you can see, just looking over those items, it doesn't appear that we'll be starving ourselves or eating bland, boring food.

Good luck this weekend, everyone! Try not to eat/drink too much...
