Chad’s parents are convinced that Chad and I are getting sick more frequently this winter because we lost too much weight at once. Chad’s lost about thirty pounds and I lost about fifteen pounds over a period of three months last summer and fall. It’s true that we’ve both been sick quite a bit this season (but hasn’t everybody?) so I’ll share an article that Chad’s mom passed on to us from Runners’ World<\/a> (October 2006), called “The Best Grocery List of All Time” It’s about nutrition for runners.<\/p>\n

The article points out that most shoppers toss the same 10-15 items in their cart every single week. I know it’s true for my household and probably true for most folks. (Come to think of it, I once made an old roommate laugh hard by spontaneously generating her entire grocery list just by what I saw replenished in fridge and cupboard every week.) Then the article lists fifteen foods that should<\/em> be in the runner’s shopping cart, and includes their rationale and recipes. Here’s the list:<\/p>\n

1. Almonds<\/p>\n

2. Eggs<\/p>\n

3. Sweet Potatoes<\/p>\n

4. Whole-grain Cereal with Protein<\/p>\n

5. Oranges<\/p>\n

6. Canned Black Beans<\/p>\n

7. Mixed Salad Greens<\/p>\n

8. Whole-grain Pasta<\/p>\n

9. Chicken (“Runners need about 50 to 75 percent more protein than nonrunners to promote recovery after workouts.”)<\/p>\n

10. Frozen Mixed Berries<\/p>\n

11. Dark Chocolate (!!!)<\/p>\n

12. Salmon<\/p>\n

13. Whole-grain Bread<\/p>\n

14. Low-Fat Yogurt<\/p>\n

15. Frozen Stir-Fry Vegetables<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
