So after spending a full day at work I had to head for the local Tesco Extra in order to stock up on food for the challenge, plus having just spent the past week away I had no healthy food anyway.
Now I have to say I never thought some items had so much bloody sugar in them. The easy part was the fruit and veg, as all of that is allowed so just grabbed lots of everything I like, lots of fruit to eat for breakfast and have in smoothies.
Then it was on to the rest of the shop, the most important thing for me is to eat a big breakfast in the morning as working around food all day is not easy and I won't be able to eat again until around 2pm at the earliest. Finding a cereal without any sugar was a major headache, I knew to ignore all the normal things like Coco Pops, and Chocolate Wheatos my previous choices. I was looking at the grain/oat based cereals which I could have with yoghurt and fruit, now reading the ingreatients on these I was suprised at how many I found which had sugar as the 3rd or 4th ingredient in them, not good. In the end I got Jordans Natural Muesli, which has no added sugar other than the natural occurring sugars in the fruit so not to bad.
After that it was not to hard managed to get whole wheat pasta, rice and bread which are all things I eat a lot of. The biggest challenge is going to be at work with all the nice things around me.
