Low Carb Keto Food List

“What you don’t bring home, you don’t eat.”

~ Kelly Peterson

Planning the weekly menu or at least 3 days ahead help to organize the groceries shopping list. It will help you to focus on what to buy when you are in the groceries store and reduces impulse buying. When you are focus on what to buy during shopping, you save time and avoid the ‘browsing’ habit which usually end up putting items into your shopping cart before you know it.  

Have you realized that most groceries store would welcome their customers with fresh produce as you enter the store? If you haven’t, pay attention each time you go to a different grocery store. Have you come across any grocery store that places canned food, packaged food, or frozen food right at the entrance instead of the vibrant color of fresh greens and fruits? I haven’t. Fresh vegetables and fruits are most commonly found right at the entrance of the store follow by fresh meat or seafood leading along the outside perimeter of most groceries store. Shop mainly around the perimeter. To enjoy food at its best state is to eat fresh. Buy only fresh cut meat or seafood with no marinade. Several times I ask the butcher at different store what is in the marinade and when I read the ingredients in the marinade sauce they usually contains corn syrup or some kind of sugar in the second or third ingredients on the list. In my low carb lifestyle, I focus on creating delicious meals using fresh produce with fresh herbs and spices in their most natural state I can find. Eating good food every meal is the key to an enjoyable and sustainable healthy low carb lifestyle, for life.  

Low carb eating choices

Many low carb plans including Atkins. Paleo or Dukan Diet plans etc. mainly focus on a similar concept. Which is to eat real food and eliminate process food. Each plan have its own suggestion for entering phase and maintenance phase to start and to follow. And there are no doubts many proven example of people benefiting from following the plans. When I started eating low carb years ago, I did not research on any of the plans. I saw the example from my husband what he eat and staying healthy. I just follow the same. I eliminate all starch and sugar in my meals everyday and focus on eating all the delicious meat and seafood that I like. It didn’t take too long before I realised that my pants were getting looser. I am not deprived of food and have no cravings for carb because I eat very well. It was than that I started reading and understanding the science behind metabolic syndrome. It makes total sense. When I finally understood how our body metabolism respond to choice of food intake, it raises my awareness in choosing the food to eat. In fact, there are more delicious food selections to eat for a low carb eating lifestyle than you might imagine. If only you are willing to explore beyond what you are used to and let your creative mind work. You could be pleasantly surprise there are plenty of good food waiting for you to savour.
