I have yet to see a grocery list posted on here so I figured I would post mine as it stands right now and others could reccomend additions or subtractions as they see fit. Also if anyone has specific reccomendations for any of the items listed below feel free to add those as well (ie a specific type of juice or natty pb). Since nutrition is the 75% of the battle havin a list to stick to when getting your groceries can be very helpful. I would like to end up with a near perfect list. Here is what it looks like as of right now:

Top Loin (NY Strip Steak)
Flank Steak (Sir Fry, Fajita)
Eye of Round (Cube Meat, Stew Meat, Bottom Round , 96% Lean Ground Round)
Ground turkey, Turkey Breast Slices or cutlets (fresh meat, not deli cuts)
Fat Free Cottage cheese
Almonds Raw (whole and the bagged ones for salads)
Flax Seed
Natural peanut butter

Complex Carbs:

Oatmeal (Old Fashioned or Quick Oats)
Sweet Potatoes (Yams)
Beans (pinto, black, kidney)
Oat Bran Cereal
Brown Rice
Farina (Cream of Wheat)
Whole grain pasta

Whole wheat or black corn tortilla chips
Whole grain English muffins

Tomatoes
Green Beans
Cucumbers

Broccoli
Asparagus

Peppers
Brussels Sprouts
Cauliflower
Celery
Carrots
Mushrooms
Onions
Garlic

Fruits:

Green apples
Blueberries

Oranges

Condiments:

Low sodium salt

pg600rr:

I noticed your other thread soliciting recommendations for blemish drying treatments. Allow me to offer a modified grocery list which will address that concern, in addition to promoting greater overall well-being. The rationale/justifications for the rather sweeping changes will follow.

Omit the following items:

From Meat/Fish/Proteins:

Fat Free Cottage cheese
Flax Seed*
Natural peanut butter

*Freshly ground flax is acceptable is small amounts, but chia is a more desirable source of ALA (absence of indigestible outer hull, cyanogenic glycosides, trypsin inhibitors, pyridoxine antagonists, etc.).

From Complex Carbs (Substitute grains with fibrous tubers {i.e. not white potatoes} and occasional high fiber* pseudocereals, such as buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, etc.):

*5 or more grams fiber per serving

Oatmeal (Old Fashioned or Quick Oats)
Beans (pinto, black, kidney)
Oat Bran Cereal
Brown Rice
Farina (Cream of Wheat)
Whole grain pasta
Whole wheat bread
Whole wheat or black corn tortilla chips
Whole grain English muffins

From Veggies (all fresh not canned or frozen):

Green Beans

From Condiments:

Olivio
Low fat Mayo*
Low fat Salad dressing’s (Asian, Italian, no creamy)*

*OK if olive, canola or high oleic sunflower/safflower oil based (in that order, ideally cold/expeller pressed).

From Drinks:

Low fat milk
Juice (low sugar)*

*Fine in moderation if the fiber is retained (e.g. Lakewood Juices).

While is would require a number of pages to reasonably elucidate the reasons for removal of dairy, grains, legumes and fiber deficient juices from your list, I will simply state that if undertaken, you will experience great improvement in the condition of your skin, not to mention other facets of health. For a fairly thorough (but easily understood) theory of the factors iimplicated in the formation of acne--and the interventions necessary for remission--I suggest obtaining The Dietary Cure for Acne, by Loren Cordain, Ph.D. It will go a long way in explaining how food is the primary determinant of skin--and overall--health.

Thanks for the info! all the items you mentioned are ones that I can easily live without and were more of on the edge comfort foods, for instance I can substitute the low fat mayo, and just use olive oil with some basil when making Tuna (which I dont eat cant stand the tatse) or Turkey salad for wraps. Also I will start paying attention to the salad dressings I buy, salads are my go to food, I love them in all variations topped with steak or chicken or shrimp. I was surprised at dropping the natty pb, I have heard nothing but great things about it, especially in a banana and whole wheat bread sandwhich post workout.. same with the no fat cottage cheese (although maybe this is more a skin related issue with dropping this item than health issue?)

'Healthy' food is a pretty silly concept in and of itself.

I like to think most people don't live on Doritos all day.

No problem. On the subject of Cordain, a few papers in which participated that might prove informative. The avoidance of those particular food groups is based on general health promotion, as well as specific anti-acneic effect.

What kinds of herbs/seasonings do you use? I suppose any sauces are out.

Doritos are not the only 'unhealthy' food out there. I would say atleast 75% of the *********** markets (atleast here in the US) is absolute garbage that pollutes your body. A healthy diet, consisting of healthy food, is probably the number one most important thing in a person life as far as well-being goes (or atleast it should be).

There are tons of recipes that are very creative and taste great that can be made with any number of those items listed above. There is a reason we are by far the fattest country in the world and it has to do with many of us being raised and brainwashed from a young age about what is good food, what we concieve as tasting good, and what we are raised eating (this includes myself). Up until about 3 years ago I just ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, which equated to whatever tasted the best (usually garbage food like pizza, soda, heavy creams and sauces on meals for dinner, supersized italian dinners, etc.). I ended up with a severe stomach problem and had to go on meds for it for two years and have changed my whole diet ever since. You'll get used to 'boring' food eventually, especially once you see the overall results it bears.
