Here is a helpful shopping list; I encourage everyone to buy a large variety of foods, including foods that you've never tried before or previously disliked. If I left something off and you think it's a whole food, let me know; I'm sure I missed a few!
GRAINS: brown rice (any) wild rice millet quinoa bulgar wheat wheat berries buckwheat ww couscous groats oats (steel cut is best)
- no pasta - no white rice - no white breads - limit/omit breads if possible
VEGETABLES: any fresh or frozen vegetable sea vegetables fresh vegetable juices unsalted canned vegetables (i.e. unsalted canned tomatoes)
- no store-bought juices (i.e. V8) - no picked vegetables - no vegetables in oil - no vegetable oils
FRUITS: any fresh or frozen fruit fresh fruit juices tropical fruits unsweetened applesauce dehydrated/dried fruits (i.e. apricots, prunes) raisins dates (coconut covered is fine)
- no store-bought juices (i.e. apple juice, oj) - no canned fruits - no fruit cups, etc - no dried fruits with oil or sugar added
FATS: avocados young coconuts coconut water raw nuts raw seeds (sunflower, pepita) ground flax seeds cocoa carob tahini (sesame seed paste) raw nut butters raw coconut butter
- no coconut flakes - no roasted nuts/seeds - no salted nuts/seeds - no sweetened nuts/seeds
- avoid soy milk if possible - homemade nut milks/rice milks are best
LIMITED/SPARING: whole wheat flours bean-based flours cornmeal sprouted, flourless breads homemade whole wheat breads corn tortillas brown rice tortillas dark chocolate (vegan, 60% cocoa) carob honey raw agave nectar tofu tempeh wine, beer, alcohol salts sugar-free condiments (i.e. mustard) raw condiments (i.e. nama shoyu)
Most condiments and dressings are processed; you can try your hand at making your own or just use them very sparingly, only when necessary to make something palatable i.e. mustard on greens.
I saw "picked" and thought, "Hey now... aren't all vegetables picked?" Phew. :) Just popped in here to say hello..my sister sent your blog to me (we live in Staten Island), and I'm seriously considering doing this challenge.

Exercise is the rent I pay for a healthy body. The higher the rent, the
better the "house" I live in. I really like living in the "high rent
district" and I bet if you just take yourself in hand and tell yourself you
are going to do it and like it (or else), you'll end up loving the benefits
so much that eventually you couldn't imagine not working out.
I've spent enough time in the ghetto...I wanna live out the rest of my days
on Park Place!

How about things like vinegar and miso? I rely on raw unfiltered
apple cider vinegar and miso quite a bit for seasoning my grain/bean
dishes. I'm thinking that lemon or lime juice would be a good
substitute, other thoughts? Any good "sauce" type recipes that
people can post to give others ideas?

I was trying to think of salad dressing substitutes... what do you think of
blending together avocado, lemon and/or lime juice and some cilantro? Might
work with the beans, too.

if you need to add a bit of miso or acv to make something palatable, that's
fine.
as for dressing -- there is a discussion strain on that (for more ideas) I
really like using fresh lime or fresh orange juice as "dressing" for my
salads. Or you could try to make your own dressings by blending avocado with
fresh vegetable juices, etc. Also try adding lots of really flavorful
components in your salad and chances are you won't need a dressing :)
