I went on a sway diet shopping spree tonight, which was a very interesting and difficult challenge, since I'm usually looking for the MOST healthy/fortified/high protein versions of everything... so it was a completely different filter for all my decisions! Here are a few gems I found, in case anyone else is interested....(oh, full disclosure, I'm NOT watching sodium levels...if anything I'm going to be high)
Triscuits is now making a line of brown rice based crackers (versus the wheat flour)...some have sweet potato (no) and red beans (stop adding stuff!) as ingredients, but I got a black pepper and salt one and a tomato and basil flavor that are appealing and are just the rice.
In the "asian food" aisle I found some rice crackers...also bought the Quaker brand gluten free rice cakes. This section also had some individual bowls of all natural white sticky rice that you just have to microwave. I think it's from the same line as all the Annie's brand stuff.
Thomas bagel thins in cinnamon raisin (NOT whole wheat...so proud of myself). Tomorrow I plan on picking up the mini blueberry bagels at another store (not willing to get anything with hfcs, even if I am shooting for declining condition). Also got some fat free cream cheese.
Yoplait light yogurts (I know this isn't a new discovery, but there are some really appealing flavors... I'm looking forward to trying these!)
I also bought a ton of cucumbers from the farmer's market and some iceberg lettuce (my mom said - "did you mean to buy this?" lol!)....skim milk WITHOUT DHA (as I discovered our current milk has); Aquafina bottled water; regular pasta (thank goodness DH didn't see me unloading the groceries); and sugarfree gum.
Also....Walgreen's currently has a sale on RePHresh that is $7 off every box! I think it goes through Aug 31.
Anyone else have favorite items? I was paralyzed by granola options (none seemed sufficiently non-vitamin-enriched) so didn't get any of that. Also couldn't find any of the swiss/colby cheese combo I've seen referenced.
I'm on day 2 of doing LE instead of just general "lose weight" diet .... it's certainly a shift, but is going fairly well. I really, really, really hope I get my BFP this cycle!!
