But shopping at the grocery store is so quick and easy now ~ first the meat counter, then the canned fish, find some walnuts (for the crunch factor), maybe a head or two of lettuce (for lunch you know), and black rice.
Yes that is true, Grocery shopping is just to the meat and fish and green veggies. But we always cook everything from scratch, never went for the mixes. But he can’t have ANY rice either, not even black rice. 20 grams of carbs a day doesn’t allow for any rice. Hopefully eventually he can have the sprouted grain bread again, but none for now. We keep walnuts, and almonds, and cashews, etc. on hand all the time. Cooking is VERY complicated now because we are gourmet cooks and we can’t use ANY of our old recipes. Cutting out ALL flour, rice, sugar, all grains, flour, pasta, potatoes, etc., is hard to do. We bought all new cookbooks. We even made homemade BBQ sauce the other day. It was quite good actually. Tasted more like a spicy Mexican sauce than BBQ sauce. He and I eat same food, and his blood sugar (before the new diet) would be 300 and mine would be 70.
For years now, we have only gone around the outer perimeter of the grocery store. No need to go up and down the aisles.
