Low carb shopping list

[DalmationStripe]

Can any of you help me with my online shop? Hoping to start low carbing tomorrow. I'm not going to be too strict as I've less than a stone to lose and am mainly doing it for the health benefits.

So far I've got...
Cheese
Eggs
Double cream
Chicken
Sausages
Bacon
Trout
Tuna (tinned)
Nuts
Veg
Mayo
Butter

Anything I'm missing?
Are mixed leaves bags of salad okay? Ditto frozen veg?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

Thank you for all the suggestions. I've got loads to add to the list for next weeks shop.

Cheese, that's very true. You can eat as much fat as you want but if you mix it with those kinds of carbs you can end up putting weight ON rather than losing!

When I first did it, ten years ago, I lost 2 stone. The weight just dropped off! It was so weird tho as I was eating all the things we've always been told are fattening, cheese, cream, butter, fatty meat, avocados, nuts etc and losing wright dramatically.

Sadly I didn't keep it off as I got scared about all the propaganda about fat and eventually drifted back to my current weight. I've lost my fear of all those highest foods tho. They are bloody delicious!

I love the Lurpak garlic butter to add to everything
Babybel
Halloumi
Aubergines (parmigiana is great, as is curry)
Shallots instead of onions
Sugar free jelly is lush with double cream
Even more eggs to make hollandaise
And sugar free gum for that yucky mouth feeling

The reason I'm not going to be too strict is because I already have a very high fat high carb diet but I don't ever seem to put on any weight. I aways eat butter and full fat everything. Plus loads of chocolate/cake/biscuits ect everyday. I eat about 4+ slices of bread a day too. So I'm guessing if I cut out most of the carbs I'll still be able to lose weight? We will soon see I suppose.

CheeseBored the reason the low carb diets go for Greek yogurt rather than natural yogurt is that Greek yogurt is made by squeezing out all the whey and therefore a lot of milk sugar so the carbs are lower and the protein higher gram for gram. I checked the Total and Yeo Valley sites. YV natural yogurt has something like 6.5 grm carb per 100gm. Total is 3.6. Protein wise YV natural comes in at 4.5 grm I think and Total Greek yogurt is 9.something.

What you need to be wary of are Greek style yogurts. They are just natural yogurt thickened up so the carb and protein stays the same as natural yogurt.

High protein will fill you up so that's why low carb goes for Greek!

Oh and Waitrose (yes I know!!) does some yummy Greek yogurt YoGood. It is by Kri Kri and is made in Greece. It has 3.6 grm carb but tastes less 'tangy' and creamier than Total
