What does your WD grocery list look like?

[Jay Nel]

I'm a couple days into the WD (have not completed the entire book) and have been thinking about the foods I should be buying.  Just wondering if a few of the experienced WD's can provide some grocery list of what you use.  I'm currently 6'1" 225 and would like to get down to around 205.  Hopefully, my primary source of weight reduction would be fat loss.  Any additonal tips that you have found that help fat loss would be great.

I train with KB's and bodyweight and would like to stay strong in both those areas while reducing weight.  Thanks.

That would be helpful to see, I was surprised there wasn't more 'summary' type sections in the book....

Why "never bananas"?   They are pretty much the perfect fruit.  They have been eaten by people for hundreds of years.  Monkeys in the jungle sure love them.

People haven eaten bananas for hundreds of years, this is correct. But again, the problem is, that the banana today is not quite the fruit they consumed centuries ago. The banana today is intoxicated by massive use of pesticides and (from what I know) genetically altered in order to resist fruit plagues like the one at the moment, which endangers the banana crop once again. A plague like this has already once almost extinct one sort of bananas. To quote wikipedia.

While in no danger of outright extinction, the most common edible banana cultivar 'Cavendish' (extremely popular in Europe and the Americas) could become unviable for large-scale cultivation in the next 10-20 years. Its predecessor 'Gros Michel', discovered in the 1820s, has already suffered this fate. Like almost all bananas, it lacks genetic diversity, which makes it vulnerable to diseases, which threaten both commercial cultivation and the small-scale subsistence farming.

Also, the banana is a fruit, unable to multiply itself, as it contains no viable seeds. I consider fruits lacking viable seeds as an unnatural occurence. The bananas being eaten centuries ago sure contain viable seeds. But they were most likely not suited for the world market.

It's just a personal preference not to eat them, as I do rarely crave them. So please do not regard it as a call towards not eating bananas at all. I have my reasons and so do you and am convinced that both ways will work out fine.

Thanks for the article. This should have been said elsewhere, but I found it interesting and it indeed sparked my interest in these yellow fruits again.
