[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2290198, member: 365308"] I like what one of the low carb practising doctors advises namely if you need to eat at McDonalds do so, just skip the bun and fries! You can make it expensive if you wish to have a more gourmet experience but I find I enjoy those kind of things as treats and am happy to go with lots of eggs, smoked fish or cheddar. Because fish/meat has limited sell by dates you will often find those goods marked down at the end of a supermarket day. Offal is obviously really cheap but I can't face liver however it does pad out a casserole along with cheaper but tasty cuts of meat e.g. ox tongue, shin of beef. Chicken thighs are cheap and to my mind much tastier than breast fillets. I bake my almonds to make almond butter. I do not feel the need to eat lots of fruit (just frozen berries) or vegetables. I can't do cheap go to meals such as pasta with a sauce or beans on toast but then I am a lot less hungry and therefore skip meals or just eat some plain yogurt with a bit of almond butter or berries (from frozen). I think you will settle into this and have a few cheaper options up your sleeve realising that it doesn't have to be a daily steak. As for organic, I prefer this but that has nothing to do with low carb and if you are trying to avoid pesticides there are certain carby ones that are a lot worse than the kind of veg you will be buying now.
