I see so many people on here struggle with the concept of low carb. I understand its not for everyone. But I find it so easy. I haven't touched rice or pasta for over a year. The only bread I eat is one I make myself from a recipe I found on here. I DO occassionally have a roast potato or 2.
Since I embraced the Very low carb lifestyle I have found that I do need to put a bit more thought into my shopping list and preparations. I live alone. For example on the weekend I will make a large wok full of soup, this week I used a whole chicken to make chicken and leek soup and have loads of chicken left to snack on (maybe share with the cats) over the week. I also have at least 7-8 portions of soup, which I take to work in a pot and heat in the microwave. Also at the weekend I make a slow cooked indian or stew of some sort, this does my sunday dinner and 3-4 other evening meals. I do this every weekend and have a kind of freezer pot luck for my evening meals after work. (should label them really). The other bits I usually do are make up 2 satchets of sugar free jelly, I take a small pot to work every day, and sometimes have some after dinner with double cream.
The extra portions of soup go in the freezer and in a couple of weeks I wont need to make a soup for that week. The same with slow cooked dinner, I've got quite a selection at the minute. I also have fish in the freezer for when I fancy something different, and I get through a tray of eggs in about 2 weeks, scrambled eggs with alsorts mixed in make a filling dinner or even the other night I had cauliflower with melted cream cheese with some cheddar mixed in.
So all Im saying is that with a little forward planning and thought Very low carb is easy and quite econmical. (Im on a budget)
