Hi all
Dh and I have both been on and off low carbers for many years. We know from experience that it works. My current issue is that I am struggling to fit this woe into our current budget. Dh earns an okay salary, I am a Sahm and we live in an expensive city in an expensive country (France).
For a while we put budgetary concerns at the top of our list - lo ts of carbs to bulk out meals. And we both steadily gained weight. About for months ago we decided tswitch back to low carb. We have steadily lost weight but our food bills have increased by about one third! We just can't afford to sustain that. And even at that we eat cheaper meats - sausages, fatty mince etc. We never eat steak or fish - just way to expensive.
So I'm looking for tips on how to do it cheaply. I know it's an investment in my future health etc but we simply cannot afford it as it is at present. And eating more protein is one thing - but eating sausages and mince all the time can't be the best alternative!
