Shopping Notes:
Don’t like a particular veggie or fruit? You can substitute with another
phase-specific item.
You might want to pick up extra veggies for snacking.
We’ve given minimum ingredient quantities to make a week’s worth of
recipes (you’ll often have some leftovers). When no quantity is listed,
assume that a standard container will contain plenty of the ingredient.
We’ve also noted when you’ll need a larger quantity for those using 1 ½
portions (20+ lbs. weight loss goal).
For a few items, like almond butter, you only need a couple of
tablespoons. You could substitute a different snack, or choose a different
nut butter.
For stevia and xylitol. You don’t have to buy both – you can choose one
or the other and substitute in recipes. 1 tsp of xylitol is equivalent to about
1/8 tsp. of stevia.
