I tend to go grocery shopping once or twice a week.
My digestive system is a bit rogue, so i tend to buy the same stuff every month. I wish i coyld do the wole fresh fruits & veggies thing, but it can be a bit dodgy as to how the GI bits will behave.
One change i did make is after silk organic plain soymilk had its ingredients changed (it now tastes horrific & artificial), i switched to organic whole milk. Doing this seems to have drastically improved GI health and i get less heartburn too.
I eat about 3 lbs of meat a month if that, usually a cheese steak or 2, and the sushi i mentioned in the lunch thread. Sushi is where i normally get my vegetables.
In the next few months i'm expecting some changes in budget etc, so maybe i can get a separate area in the house for fresh fruits & veggies, especially from local farms, farmer market, etc.
