Hi everyone! It's Esther here I hope you're having a great day
I am here with a Whole Foods haul This will be most of my groceries for my meal plans this week And omigod, so funny story I went to Whole Foods just now and I got all these things and then I was standing in line and I usually get my wallet out as I'm standing in line just so that i'm not wasting other people's time you know as far as like the people that are behind me But anyways I realized I did not have my wallet
So I had to give my shopping basket to the cashier and then I rushed home I thought maybe I had left my wallet in the car But when I got to the car it wasn't there So I called Whole Foods on the way home and I was like hey my wallet is not in my car I'm gonna have to go home and get it
And the lady was really nice and by the time I got back she actually had it already bagged for me She rung it up and she put like freezer bags in here so that my stuff wouldn't go bad So such a sweetheart Very good customer service at Whole Foods, and no I'm not getting paid to say this Like they really did a good job of taking care of my things and so I'm very very appreciative Because I thought I was kind of being a pain for that lady by leaving my stuff behind and her having to watch it
But she was so nice so thank you lady at Whole Foods and customer service You're probably not watching this but thank you anyways I just want to quickly show you guys what I have in my grocery haul So I'll just kind of unbag all this So the first thing that I got were these eggs
And these got my attention because they say pasture-raised It says "these hens enjoy outdoor living and plenty of pasture to roam" So that makes me feel good Hopefully they're you know out on the field and eating some grass and stuff and not locked in cages I don't know, I haven't really like researched it to see if it's legit I know labeling laws can be really deceiving
I bought two cartons of those I'm just going to take this out of here Next I bought some spinach You guys know that I love spinach I eat it all the time
So here's my spinach for the week See here's the little ice bag she put in there So nice! And then I got a couple of other proteins So this is Atlantic salmon fillet And I just asked the guy at the fish counter
I don't know if thatis it called a fish counter? I'm not sure But I asked him for the fattiest cut of salmon, so that's what he gave me
I really hate it when salmon is really dry and I don't know it doesn't taste good I like fatty the fattier cut and that's perfect for the ketogenic diet anyways But the next item I got and I got quite a bit of this is ribeye I love ribeye So I really have been craving like steak and eggs lately so I'm going to use it and make steak and eggs for breakfast in the morning
And I'm making breakfast for my husband as well That's why I have so much He doesn't eat salmon so you can see quite a difference in the amount that I purchase That's one bag And then I bought some sardines
I love these sardines They are canned and they are soaked in lemon juice I sometimes will buy the ones soaked in olive oil but in this case I'm just going to add my own olive oil because I really like the way these taste So there's that I got lots and lots of those
And then, oopsie! This is two heads of broccoli I love broccoli as well And I've been sticking really to cruciferous vegetables So I've been sticking with broccoli and then also green leafy vegetables So spinach
So sorry to be repetitive it's the same stuff that I bought last week for my grocery haul But these are the vegetables I'm into right now And I cut out nightshades from my diet temporarily because there's some research out there that nice shades are really bad for your health in general But also that they affect your ketone levels I don't know if it's true
I'm actually going to add them back in and test how they affect my blood ketone levels So that's one of the foods that i'm going to be testing If you guys don't know I'm doing kind of like an experiment where I'm testing my blood ketone levels with different things right now I'm just getting back into the ketogenic diet This is, this will be like the second week on
You know I'm just really strict keto I've eliminated a lot of things Dairy, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, nightshade vegetables What else? There's like a whole list of things I eliminated, but i'm going to add them back in and check my blood ketone levels with those So it's going to be a fun experiment but you can click on the card above if you want to find out more and go the beginning of that series that I started with this experiment
And the last item, this whole bag of avocados It looks like a lot but it's only a week worth It's like seven avocados But I love avocados For those of you that had commented asking if I have problems pooping
I don't and I really think avocados will help with that If you're having issues with constipation Try to add one avocado try to add one avocado a day to your meal plan and see if that helps And lots of water you have to drink water on keto Very very important So that is pretty much it That's my grocery haul for this week
