This journey would be a lot easier if you only you had someone to go with you and fill your cart with the only items you need. However, that is not always available and people don't seem to have the time to shop for healthy food.
So clear your calendar and bring the list. This is worth missing out on that new episode, drinks with friends (which will change during this lifestyle change) or any other excuse you would like to come up with .
So what goes in your cart?
Yes, buy these!
Most markets/grocery stores are lined with essential items on the outer area of store. So do yourself a favor and stick with that route.

Yes, buy these!
- meats (careful even meats have ingredients to read. Stay away from sugars added. stay away from pre-packaged meats)
- vegetables (no white potatoes)
- fruits (go for it!)
- nuts (peanuts are not a nut.)
- seeds
- healthy fats (don't use corn oil, peanut oil, soybean oil and grape seed oil.)

When I took my first trip I took someone that could hold me accountable. I filled my cart with the following:
Eggs (brown)
Vegetables-Kale, lettuce, Carrots, Sweet Potato, Onions.. as you can see overflowing choices)
Fruit-Apples, strawberries
Meat-pork tenderloin, Sausage (careful with this one... read ingredients), Bacon (yes, they made low sodium, no sugar), steak, fish, chicken
Nuts-almond butter (like peanut butter but made with almonds), almonds, walnuts
As you can tell I went overboard on my first trip but I wanted to make sure I stocked up so I wouldn't be tempted to go pick up something quick.
