> 1. Water! If you're looking for something with more zing than tap

> water, use unflavored mineral water or choose flavored waters that

> are calorie (and carbohydrate) free.

>

> 2. Whole grain breads and cereals. Look for the word " whole " in the

> first ingredient. For example, Shredded Wheat is " whole wheat " and

> nothing else! Don't let the brown color of some breads and cereals

> fool you -- it can be added with food coloring! Also make sure that

> sugar isn't one of the first three ingredients listed.

>

> 3. Brown rice or pasta products. While these foods contain

> carbohydrates, they also contain more fiber and healthy vitamins,

> minerals and beneficial phytochemicals, which may help fight

> disease. The key is to eat them in small to moderate portions.

>

> 4. Nuts and seeds. They make great snacks on their own or you can

> toss them into fresh vegetable salads for added protein and fiber.

>

> 5. Individual portions of canned tuna or salmon and snack-size

> portions of low-fat cottage cheese. They make great snacks on their

> own or add fresh veggies to make quick meals.

>

> 6. Low-carb veggies, which are any veggie except potatoes, corn,

> green peas, winter squash and lima beans. Set a goal of filling half

> your plate at lunch and dinner with them. There are dozens of ways

> to prepare low-carb veggies from fresh salads, frozen mixed veggies,

> canned vegetables, soup with vegetables, as much fresh veggies as

> you can stack on a sandwich, raw veggies such as grape tomatoes or

> carrot sticks, to salads-in-a-bag.

>

> Foods to stock up on

> " Low-Sugar Shopping List "

>

> 1. Water! Enjoy tap water, plain mineral water if you like something

> fizzy or bottled water if you prefer the taste. Avoid flavored

> waters that may be calorie-free but still taste sweet.

>

> 2. Trail mix. Make your own healthy snack by mixing together a

> variety of nuts and seeds with a handful of dried fruit. You'll love

> the crunch and the surprise of something naturally sweet in every

> handful. Be careful with portion sizes -- a handful really is one

> serving.

>

> 3. Plain yogurt. Mix it with cut up pieces of fresh fruit and a

> handful of whole grain, low sugar cereal for breakfast or a great

> snack.

>

> 4. Frozen fruit -- without added sugar, of course. Blend frozen

> fruit with plain yogurt for a delicious smoothie, enjoy frozen fruit

> right from the freezer or add thawed frozen fruit to hot cereal for

> breakfast. You can purchase frozen fruit, or make your own. Bananas

> (peeled and wrapped in plastic wrap) and grapes freeze especially

> well.

>

> 5. Nuts and seeds (portions should be less than a handful), and

> guacamole or hummus with fresh veggies. These tasty treats contain

> healthy sources of fat, so they keep hunger -- and sugar cravings --

> at bay.

>

> 6. Whole grain breakfast foods. If you're used to eating a muffin or

> doughnut with your morning coffee, substitute the sugary baked good

> for something you can really sink your teeth into. Try spreading low-

> fat cream cheese on half of a toasted whole grain bagel, or enjoy a

> slice of hearty whole grain bread topped with tub margarine.

>

> Foods to stock up on

> " Low-Fat Shopping List "

> 1. Low-fat soups. Look for 's Healthy Request as one option

> (most soup companies have similar lower-fat versions of their

> favorites as well).

>

> 2. Plain popcorn and pretzels.

>

> 3. Seafood and skinless poultry. Choose seafood that's not breaded;

> along with the breading you get lots of added fat.

>

> 4. Oil-free vegetable spray to use in cooking. You can even spray

> the butter-flavored versions on plain popcorn to add taste without

> fat.

>

> 5. Low-fat or nonfat cheeses. Try reduced-fat cream cheese on your

> morning bagel, fat-free cottage cheese with fruit for a morning

> snack, low-fat mozzarella on your lunch sandwich or reduced-fat

> cheddar in your favorite dinner casserole.

>

> 6. Fat-free Fudgesicles, fat-free frozen yogurt and fruit sorbet.

> These are great treats when you have a craving for something sweet

> and creamy. Eat slowly and savor every delicious bite.

>

>

> Ahh to get rid of the OMS!!!

>

> Foods to stock up on

> " Beat Bloat Shopping List "

>

> 1. Rice. Try a variety of different types including brown rice,

> basmati or jasmine.

>

> 2. Grains such as quinoa and amaranth. These whole grains have great

> texture and fantastic taste, plus they're packed with vitamins and

> minerals.

>

> 3. Ginger or peppermint tea. Sip these teas after meals to settle

> your stomach and help with digestion.

>

> 4. Plain water -- no additives, sugar, or sugar substitutes.

>

> 5. Foods that contain acidophilus, like yogurt. Acidophilus promotes

> healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, which can even out a

> sluggish digestive system. You can find acidophilus in powder or

> pill form at the grocery or health food store. The most active

> varieties need to be refrigerated.

>

> Found thsi on I Villiage..there are also things to take out of the

> onatry and things to keep in addition to these shopping tips. Here

> is the addy if anyone wants to read the whole thing. If you scroll

> all the way to the bottom you will see the shopping list.
