January 24, 201313 yr U don't really have any staples other than cheese and lunch meat. I love to cook and try new food. Still a foodie. I don't consider myself a low carber either. But asparagus might be tough on your tummy at first.
January 24, 201313 yr Author I've been eating asparagus (I roast it in the oven with olive oil) and it's been okay so far. I have not really delved into salads yet..hear that its not tolerated well. I make a lot of soups as well as stews.
January 24, 201313 yr I buy many of the items on your list plus a couple others: Beef Jerky cheese sticks Canned tuna

January 28, 201313 yr One thing I haven't seen listed is PB2 - its powdered peanuts! It also comes in chocolate peanut! If you are a Peanut Butter lover, this is a lifesaver. You can add it to your Protein shakes for a peanut butter flavor. Or, you can mix it with Water or skim milk to make peanut butter. And it only has 45 calories for 2 tbs as opposed to 190-200 in the same amount of peanut butter.

I'd heard the expression here but didn't know what it was good for! Sounds....like a dream come true! Good for the mushy food stage 4?
