My low-carb/low FODMAP/sort-of-Paleo-apart-from-the-dairy kitchen/grocery list

[gemsybobsy]

This morning a Wii fitness game told me I was fat. Lolz. So I am hereby on a mission to lose 2.5. stone and get rid of IBS once and for all. I realise that I have said that every week since beginning this journal, so now I'm going to be really honest with myself, damnit. I've filled my kitchen with yummy fresh things so there's no excuse... you see, I sometimes pretend I don't have any of this stuff and go and eat takeaways instead. Tsk. No more! I have all the things, I will use all the things and not go and get all the naughty things.

I'm sort of doing paleo/high fat/low-carb. Definitely no grains, legumes or tubers. No fruit or nuts for the time being, but can do occasionally. When I'm at my target weight I'll probably introduce more fruit and nuts and SPUDS and eat less meat. Not a MASSIVE meat fan, really. But the aim for the time being is epic fat loss. So... handy list for my shopping purposes.

That's what I keep doing, I'll have a day when I can't be arsed, go and get a pizza or loads of chocolate, then think 'sod it, it's the weekend, I'll start again Monday'... I bet I'll be eating crap again by the weekend.

I REALLY MISS CRISPS :'( I don't think they're that bad for you though! I will start eating them again when I'm back on the carbs. :D

Make your own mayo!

I was just about to! I was looking for recipes and then I found this stuff: http://www.tracklements.co.uk/products/sauces/Mayonnaise/ which is lovely, and mustardy, and I don't really like mustard normally.

Ooooh, that looks tasty! I put Dijon in everything, though. Oh man, baked chicken with a Dijon marinade. <3
