Here are the things I eat in a week and that I have purchased right from the start. I buy everything - meat, cheese and veggies - in bulk from Costco, Sam’s or BJs and then take it home and freeze for later in the week.
Mayo, eggs, pork steaks, boneless pork ribs, high fat hamburger, chicken quarters (or just the legs or thighs, if you prefer one over the other), bacon, pepperoni, breakfast sausage, cheese, romaine, shredded cabbage, broccoli, olive oil and vinegar (for salad dressing). Save the bacon grease and melt a tablespoon of it over your hamburgers or the less fatty cuts of pork. Make chicken, egg or tuna salad. Add hard boiled eggs, shredded chicken, some bacon and cheese to your salads. Eat eggs and sausage for breakfast.
Very true. Eat three hearty meals a day to start. This will help satisfy your hunger and help alleviate any cravings for foods you don’t want to have. After a couple of weeks, you may find that you can skip a meal comfortably and that your breakfast will carry you just fine to dinner. Enjoy your food.
Lastly, familiarize yourself with the carb values in the foods you commonly eat. Make sure to keep your daily total under 20 g/day, or less if you can. Start to read food labels to check for carbs in a serving. Stay away from things that are too high, or limit the quantity you eat.
Good luck - please keep us posted and ask as many questions as you need.
