Low Carb shopping list

Hi all,
So I'm heading to my local supermarket this evening (ASDA) with the intention of coming back with low carb ingredients.
What do the low carbers buy at the supermarket.
I.e certain brands to look out for, things that are staples in their diets.
I will be buying veg, cheese and eggs for sure. In Dr Bernstein's book he talks about cheese puffs, what cheese would be appropriate for that?

Thanks Pinkx
 
This site should give you some ideas and you can download and print off a list for future refernce.

The other thing is to pick up a copy of the Collins Gem Carb Counter Book from W H Smith's or other bookstores. ( £3-99) Go through it and make your own list of what you know you like.

Hope this helps.

Elsewhere I've seen their Calorie Counter recommended over the Carb Counter book as being more comprehensive
 
At the supermarket( Iuse LIDL), I buy meat, fish, butter, cheese, cream and fresh veggies, including salads. And a little fruit. If they have them, I buy Macanuts. Lidl also have fabulous Greek yogurt. I occasionally buy tiny new potatoes.
I get my milk and eggs from the milkman and some of my meat and fish from our wonderful local butcher.
Got Sea Bass Fillets and green beans today for dinner.
I buy Wheat gluten from Low carb megastore and the other bread ingredients from Holland and Barrett.
I did try Da Vinci syrup and it's sickly, so won't do that again. I have some low carb wraps in the freezer. They make interesting faux pizza.
If I want to make a nut based cake or biscuits, I buy nuts at Lidl and grind them. It's surprising how varied a diet you can have cooking from scratch. However for Dreamfiels pasta, I either go to LCM online or to a littel health food shop which has it, but it's half an hour away by bus and I have to get to the town centre first.

You are spot on there Trink, I now have both. The calorie one is much better.
 
i buy meat, green veg eg kale, broccoli, runner beans, natural yogurt, berries, eggs, bacon, ham, cheese. Sainsburys value mozzarella ball is good at only 47p and about 3g carbs the lot, sometimes I have that for breakfast.
 
YOU'VE got my shopping list! Give it back!

Mine currently includes asparagus and fish too, oh and coloured peppers and garlic.
