The pantry
The pantry is food you can point at in an aisle: olive oil, plain yogurt, beans, eggs, fish, greens, oats. This week’s cart is eggs, mushrooms, ground turkey, dry lentils, and collards. Added sugar is listed because hiding it is how the other kind of diet site works. Three staples are public. The rest of the buying notes are membership.
The fat the Mediterranean pattern actually uses. Polyphenols, oleic acid, and a flavor that makes vegetables disappear. Cook with it. Dress with it. Stop treating oil like a moral test.
Buy: Look for a harvest date and a dark bottle. Peppery finish is a feature.
About 15–20 g protein per cup with zero added sugar if you buy plain. Fruit goes on top. Flavored cups are dessert wearing a gym membership.
Buy: Whole-milk or 2%. Skip ‘vanilla’ and ‘light’ lines.
The cheapest way to hit 30 g of fiber. Protein plus resistant starch. Canned is fine if you rinse; dry is cheaper and quieter on sodium.
Buy: Black beans, chickpeas, lentils. A pot on Sunday covers three lunches.
