May, Getting Back To Basic Eating Challenge

Hey Everyone!
May is almost here and it kicks off our challenge of getting back to basic eating and being healthy!  I've compiled a sample grocery list for all 10 of us that are doing this so you know you're not alone out there. Walmart is great for your dry produce and if you're not having luck finding fresh produce there, then go to your grocery store and or Target.
Every Sunday I will check in with everyone and see how you are doing, so let's have a great May and get healthy.

Remember: NO Meat, NO Breads, NO Sweets.

List:
Blackbeans
Pinto Beans
Red Lettuce
Green Lettuce
Romaine Lettuce
Iceberg Lettuce (just for filling in a salad- has no nutritional value)
Tomatoes
Bananas
Apples
Broccoli
Milk
Eggs
Yogurt- Yoplait or Greek
Canned corn (salads)
Fresh corn
Carrots
Zucchini
Squash
Salad Dressing
Kidney Beans
Granola
Nuts
Sun flower seeds
Celery
Brown Rice
Hummus
Protein Bars(Cliff bars are a good one)
Protein Shakes (Whey protein is ideal)
Grapefruit
Veggie Stock (veggie soup)
Water
Peanut Butter (Wholefoods has a awesome one you can make on the spot)

Here are some ideas for you and remember keep snacks on you all day long so you don't feel hungry.  Have fun and don't forget EXERCISE 3 TIMES A WEEK MIN FOR A MIN OF 30 MIN.

Talk to you all next Sunday!

  1. I had to cut out most of my salad dressings, as many of them are jammed full of sugars. So my "salvation" so that I don't have to eat plain lettuce is a homemade balsamic. Super easy... balsamic, virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice and if you like it a little more tangy you can add some dijon mustard to it. Hopefully this little tip will help you out!
