New today!

[momx04]

Hi, I'm new here.  My husband bought me this book for Christmas    and I won't lie, I was pretty mad at him!  Needless to say, it took me a few months, but I finally read the book...in about 2 hours!   I couldn't put it down.  I have tried to put it to use in the last 2 days and I think I am doing well.  Can someone point me in the direction of a great grocery list.  I am searching my kitchen and realizing I HAVE NOTHING TO EAT!  Everything needs to go! 

Thanks for the help!
Theresa

Welcome to the FTS forum ! I think there is one in the book or if not I took my book with me to the store the first time and just bought the low carb veggies and meat . Good luck on your FTS journey .

Welcome to the family The best grocery list to begin with is right in your book. Look at the ingredient list and the veggie list

I hear you -- I was just watching what I was eating and doing okay when my husband brought home the book and asked me to read it. I did and it made sense. We've both been doing the program since October 1st.

Check out everyone's meal plans here on this board and it will give you a really good idea what people eat, how much, and how they change it around from day to day.

Good luck and welcome!

Hi momx04! 

Your husband truly loves you very much for doing that!
Not every man would have the same courage.

The secret to success with this lifestyle is that, rather than depriving ourselves of our favorite "undesirable" foods, we REPLACE them with yummy FTS alternatives.

Look in the recipe section of this forum.
Every one of the recipes I've tried there is wonderful!!!

Thank you All.
I started the program on Sunday. I am down 5 pounds on Wednesday.  REALLY?   

Thanks for the info about checking out the meal plans...That is the perfect way to start!

Umpa, thank you for the navigation around the site.  It was really helpful

I cannot believe the headache (which is subsiding today).  I cannot believe the sugar addition is real.  I am living proof!

Thanks to all I am so excited to be on this journey!~
