Lots of info below! This week I went to my local Scnucks Grocery store which would be similar to Wal Mart or Kroger. Not everyone in my fmaily eats healthy and apparently Im the cook around here! SO, that leaves me dealing with a lot of unhealthy food. HEre is my combo grocery haul for realistic eating!

My plan: 🢃
I eat low carb living a low carb lifestyle! I used to do Weight Watchers for over 5 years however I switched over to low carb as I find it a more managable way of eating for the rest of my life. As a result of this change Ive continued to lose weight and lower my blood sugar after learning I was pre diabetic. My fat numbers are not too high and not at a keto level although some meals could be considered keto meals. Here is my low carb eating plan that I track through carb manager. I do not count anything other than carbs and it works for me.
Max of 30 carbs per meals
Max of 15 carbs per snack
I do NOT count anything else
I find all the other macros fall into place if I hit at or below my low carb numbers.
My NEW cookbook is available!

Good morning everyone welcome to today’s grocery haul it’s not exactly morning it is about 1 in the afternoon and look at this so while I was gone at the grocery store apparently somebody ate a whole pizza have any guesses who that might be anyway we’re not even going to talk
About that because this is what happens anyway welcome to the grocery Hall so I’m going to show you what I got this morning from Trader Joe’s can you tell I’m trying to gather myself cuz I’m a little bit aggravated you know listen I’m not trying to tell anybody how to
Eat I’m not anybody’s food police but when you have a diabetic diagnosis you you you just have to be careful you cannot eat a whole large pizza and that box look pretty big anyway you know people get crabby too but we’re going to get beyond that we’re getting beyond
That all right so so what did I pick up this week at Trader Joe’s that I needed I actually need quite a few things all right so I got some strawberries I mention this pretty often I do eat strawberries I eat berries of any kind low carb so meaning berries are low carb
So because I’m on low carb I eat berries I don’t count carbs and berries and you might be thinking well why not because I never never never never overeat them ever it’s not something that I don’t even love them but I like to eat them because of the fiber so I
Bought these and then also my grandson likes them so I picked those up I do count all other Fruit by the way especially bananas cuz I’ll turn it into ice cream and then sky the limit I also picked up some more of this skier lowfat yogurt I actually really really like
This 12 gram of carbs this is vanilla I really like this I’m surprised how much I like it it’s really really creamy and good I got two things of eggs I go through a lot of eggs I also picked up this Italian turkey meatloaf this was $8
I believe and I didn’t think that was a bad price for it so I thought I would try it 15 G of carbs for a quar of this and this is 24 oz so it’s about a pound and a half so I thought that would be
Something good to try out I might even put that like in a low carb wrap you know make like a little meatloaf sandwich if I like it so so I have a few ideas for this but I thought it sounded pretty interesting then I picked up the chicken soup dumplings that Paige eats
All the time I don’t eat these These are 29 G of carbs for the whole carton so if you’re on low carb you could eat this whole carton but for me I like these but like I’m not wild about them like she is but they’re good they’re not bad I also
Grabbed some tomatoes so one thing that I have really been liking doing is making sort of like um I don’t know a Ratatouille type of thing you know I’ll do zucchini and onions and garlic and tomatoes and it just gives you a nice base to put over anything last week I
Put it over real thin pasta and I actually had a half a cup of the thin spaghetti so and I did just fine so I’ve been kind of playing around with that then I also picked up these potato tots for the kids this is not something I’ll
Eat but the kids love them 10 tots are about 20 gr of carbs this asparagus wizo looked really interesting so I’m either going to love this or I’m going to hate this on this convenience stuff especially things that I know I can make I either love it or I
Hate it 24 G for one cup I thought that was good kind of a good bang for your buck if I’m having it for lunch with a salad so that’s kind of what I was thinking of on that now I also am going to be trying this organic Cran creamy
Peanut butter I have not had this Trader Joe’s peanut butter ever but it’s pretty low in carbs 7 G the other thing that was kind of weird because I always scan these Foods so that I can give you the Weight Watchers points also for anybody who’s on Weight Watchers this was only
Five Weight Watchers points which as I recall that would be pretty low is that pretty low if you’re on Weight Watchers let me know down in comments because I do think most of what I was eating for peanut butter was six maybe even seven I don’t know maybe I’m remembering wrong
But I thought five was pretty good I also picked up some of their salsa I love this salsa this is my favorite salsa 2 Gams of carbs for two tablespoons now I also picked up the veggie fried rice this is something that I really can’t eat but if you’re on
Weight Watchers this is really good bang for your book that I know for sure um the carbs on this is 45 that’s why I can’t have it it’s just it’s too high for me but people in the family like it so I’m to the point with my low carb
Eating that I can do that I can make it for somebody else and not feel like I’m deprived so works out fine for me I also needed some onions and some carrots to make more pastina soup so that’s kind of one thing if you have my cookbook then
You know one of the recipes that’s in there is pastina soup and I suggest for whole carrots like this but just so you know if you’re somebody that doesn’t want to deal with peeling carrots and chopping them and that kind of thing you could buy this and do about the
Equivalent of four carrots which I would say is probably well you know for me I would probably do 3/4 of the bag but a couple cups of carrots and you’re good to go on that so just a little tip on that one but the pastina soup is my
Favorite a love it and then I also grabbed a couple little protein bars I got the creamy crisp I like this one it’s pretty good 19 gam of carbs and then these are more like sweet little sweet things that I like to eat when I just need I have a craving they’re
Really low in net carbs high in total carbs is 15 G so that’s exactly what I allow myself on a snack but if I’m really craving chocolate this will do the trick so I got salted caramel and peanut butter caramel did I say peanut butter peanut caramel not peanut butter I also got
Some creamy tomato basil sauce this is for Paige for the pasta she likes to eat but this is a good one this is also low and carbs 8 G and this to me tastes very much like a vodka sauce with basil so that’s kind of what I get from it and I
Like it it’s good I also picked up their hatch Valley salsa now now I really like hatched chilies and that’s what I’m hoping this is 3 G of carbs on this yeah I’m looking at the ingredients it is hatch chilies so I have some ideas on that you know I’ve got that imposable
Which I tried and I do like I could do the hatched chili with some cheese and some of the imposta bles that’s just a low carb pasta so I kind of thought that might be an idea but really a half a cup is the most I’m going to be able to do
But it might be a good side dish to this so I don’t know I just picked it up thinking I’ll do something with it now I also grabbed these triple Ginger pretzels for Paige I know she will really like them she always wants something sweet but I could probably
Work this in 10 pretzels is 21 gam of carbs so if I had three pretzels or four pretzels that would probably do it for me and I’d be fine with that it says teeny tiny pretzels covered in a ginger candy coating and topped with crystallized ginger and our triple
Ginger Snaps now is this low in sugar are you kidding me absolutely not but every now and again gosh it’s really high I’d have to really think about this before I put this in my mouth I’ll tell you that but I didn’t buy that for me
But you know on a rare occasion I could do that I picked up a big head of lettuce and I’ve got a couple new proteins that I’m trying so first off the Polo assado I show that to you all the time love love love this is in rotation every week for
Me I found this I think that said Sharma am I saying that right schwarma schwarma is that I think it’s schwarma I don’t know I I think it’s something like that obviously you can tell that whatever this is the Heritage I think it would be Indian I think it’s
Not my usual flavor profile so I wanted to try try it I feel like I would like it we will see 3 G of carbs in this I’m excited to try it it is chicken thighs so you’re going to have a little bit higher fat content than like a chicken
Breast over here but I like chicken thighs so I was excited to try this and then this is also new to me this is their buttermilk ranch dressing one gram of carbs I’m sure I will like this and then lastly I also picked up some PL non-fat yogurt and this is the European
Style so it says smooth and creamy I have found that I really prefer that yogurt 12 gam of carbs for 3/4 of a cup so typical of yogurt you know yogurt’s going to have a lot of naturally occurring carbs in it it just happens that way but I don’t there should be no
Extra sugar no no added sugar so it’s just naturally occurring like what you get in onions or tomatoes or something like that I feel like did I show you the Tomatoes now that I yeah I did all right so that is my entire grocery haul all
Right I will see you tomorrow for makeup Monday and meal Prep a
