Starting a new diet or lifestyle change can be extremely difficult, especially when it restricts what you can and can’t eat. The low carb diet (whether it’s Atkins, South Beach or some other variation) is no exception. As you start out on this adventure, it might seem a bit intimidating. But, don’t let the challenge scare you! This shopping list will help you stock up so that when mealtimes roll around, you’ll have something to fall back on.
Low Carb Staples to Keep on Hand in Your Kitchen
Disclaimer: This is a list of things my husband likes to keep on hand when he’s low carbing. This list is not all-inclusive and may not be right for your particular low-carb plan.
Remember, most meats are allowed on low-carb diets because they contain almost no carbohydrates. You do need to be careful about cured and processed meats, however, because they contain sugars. Read the labels on packaged meats or meats prepared with sauces.
