Faster Way to Fat Loss | Trader Joe’s Shopping List

February 5, 2020 Comments : 4

I️’ve talked about my love of the Faster Way to Fat Loss program several times on the blog and I️ often share some of my favorite meal ideas over on IG. I️ followed the program really closely last year while pregnant with baby #3 and I️ felt good knowing I️ was eating a healthy, balanced diet – I️ rarely ever craved any junk food, which was definitely a change from my previous two pregnancies!

I️ also share my favorite Trader Joe’s finds on the regular, and I️ have a list of go-to items that I️ like to keep on hand for hitting my optimal macros each day. I️ decided I️’d take you guys along for my most recent TJ’s trip and share all of these favorites that are perfect for the FWTFL program (or just a balanced diet, in general!).

Trader Joe’s Favorites for the Faster Way to Fat Loss Program

I️ am going to break my Faster Way to Fat Loss faves down by category and you can also download a printable list to take with you on your next trip to Trader Joe’s!

Produce

Spinach
Mushrooms
Grape Tomatoes – Loved slicing these and topping with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and cracked pepper
Avocados – Mondays + Tuesdays are ‘high fat/low carb’ days, so I️ would always incorporate at least one avocado each day to hit my macros!
Shredded Cabbage – Perfect for Egg Roll in a Bowl
Apples – I️’ll have an apple with almond butter for an afternoon snack sometimes
Shaved Brussels Sprouts – Saute these with some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and pepper!
Green Goddess Salad Dressing – This stuff is the BOMB and has great macros

Refrigerated

Vegan Basil Pesto – This was another great one for low carb day…I️’d top chicken with this pesto in the slow cooker for a delicious dinner.
Hummus
Chicken Sausage
Ground Turkey
Dairy-Free Cheese – It’s best to skip dairy when you’re strictly following the FWTFL program, and as someone who’s been dairy-free for several years, I️ can tell you that it’s possible to get used to dairy-free cheese!

Brown Rice – I️ always have a hard time hitting my carb goal on regular macro days, so I️ like to incorporate a healthy grain into each meal.
Riced Cauliflower – This is your lifeline on low-carb days – it can literally go in any recipe!
Cauliflower Gnocchi
Zucchini Spirals – Great in place of pasta for things like spaghetti, etc.
Chile Lime Chicken Burgers – One of my fave easy proteins for lunch!
Chopped Bell Pepper
Cauliflower Pizza Crust

    Yes!!! This is so awesome, Brittany. I love the fact that you are taking your healthy seriously 🥰 I find myself gravitating towards the healthier foods at Trader Joe’s too and we share some of the same favorites…Green Goddess Dressing is my jam! Thanks for the free grocery list 💗

      Aww, man, I️ know what you mean – I️ had to live without one for 2 years and it was rough! Haha! It’s 95mg per serving (which I️ believe is 2tbsp)!

These beauties went camping at the @schielemuseum These beauties went camping at the @schielemuseum with Troop 2997 last night ⛺️ Proud of them for being brave because when I was their age, you couldn’t catch me sleeping away from home…ever 🤣

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
