Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004What Handy Stuff do you get at the Grocery?
I find that there are some things I always buy when I'm low-carbing, because they're so convenient. 1. Wings. Bake them with salt, pepper, and garlic and add Frank's Red Hot Sauce. 2. Hillshire Farms Sausage. Chuck them in the microwave in a Pyrex dish for 4 minutes; it's food. 3. Cheese in small packages, like Laughing Cow or Bonbel mini-cheeses, or string cheese. Easy to grab in a hurry. 4. Eggs. Boiled, fried, or scrambled, they're fast and zero-carb. 5. Pork rinds. 6. Sour cream. Put it on anything. 7. Jerky. 8. Dry sausages like chorizos, pepperoni, salami, and kielbasa. 9. Hot dogs or brats. 10. Smoked fish. 12. Cans of pink salmon; cheap, full of fish oil, and zero-carb. 13. Sardines. Fast and easy. 14. Ground chuck, for quick breadless cheeseburgers. 15. Macadamia nuts. Sometimes you just need them. How about everyone else? Are there things you just always buy? > I find that there are some things I always buy when I'm low-carbing, > because they're so convenient.

I love Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage, but after reading labels on all of the brands of smoked sausage, I found one that is "carb-free." Cumberland Gap brand lists 0 carbs and sugar is NOT one of the ingredients on the label. Otherwise, I buy eggs (sometimes 2 dozen at a time---not all for me, but for DH and kids, too), sour cream, cheese, canned fish (sardines, tuna, salmon, etc.). I'm lucky to have a brother who works for Mikesells (chip and snack manufacturer here in the midwest) and he gets me cases of pork rinds at a discounted price. Also, as far as veggies, I LOVE celery. I really love to saute it in some olive oil, and it's great since it's one of the low carb salad veggies. Linda >How about everyone else? Are there things you just always buy? We just did a long thread on this topic recently.

Sometimes you just need them. Hmmm. I'm betting you down a mess of psyllium husk. >How about everyone else? Are there things you just always buy? Broccoli, mushroom, avocadoes, bell peppers (preferably red), blueberries, cream, Chinese cabbage.

Cheese in small packages, like Laughing Cow or Bonbel > mini-cheeses, or string cheese. Easy to grab in a hurry. Polly-O string cheese by the 5-pack. Usually have 1 first thing when I get home from work, while I'm getting up the energy to cook dinner. Also love Vermont cheddar. > 4. Eggs. Boiled, fried, or scrambled, they're fast and zero-carb. No, they're not. They're .6g per egg. I love them deviled, with smoked salmon, for breakfast. Also, an American cheese omelet is comfort food! > 5. Pork rinds. Yup. > 6. Sour cream. Put it on anything. > 7. Jerky. I'm still looking for a brand w/o sugar. > 8. Dry sausages like chorizos, pepperoni, salami, and kielbasa. Pepperoni, Genoa salami rolled up with slices of Jarlsburg swiss. > 9. Hot dogs or brats. > 10. Smoked fish. Smoked salmon w/cream cheese on a Cheeters rye cracker! > 12. Cans of pink salmon; cheap, full of fish oil, and zero-carb. I despise canned salmon -- I steam fresh salmon fillets. Cans of tuna are OK for lunch. Fresh, cleaned shrimp -- I made the Atkins shrimp scampi recipe (minus the white wine) last week. It was "to die for." > 13. Sardines. Fast and easy. > 14. Ground chuck, for quick breadless cheeseburgers. Steaks, pork and lamb chops, chicken cutlets. > 15. Macadamia nuts. Sometimes you just need them. I need them often! I buy a half pound salted and a half pound unsalted and mix them together. > How about everyone else? Are there things you just always buy? SPAM!
