Budget
If you want to learn about low-carb diets (e.g. the Atkins Diet, Protein Power Diet, South Beach Diet, or other low carb plans), this is a great place to start. The most important tip we can give you is this: no one diet works for every "body." In fact, we've come to believe that no one diet works for any one "body" at every stage of life. You'll fine-tune your eating plan as you learn what works for you and what doesn't. We want to help.
The route to success with low carb dieting (or any weightloss program) is to understand that you are making permanent lifestyle changes—not simply going through the motions "until you lose the weight." So stop thinking "diet" and start finding your Low Carb Zen, baby!
Help with Food Costs

Many people new to low carbing worry about increased grocery expenses. While some food costs go down (brown-bagging it is cheaper than fast food, for example, and you won't need to stock up on junk food any more), quality meats and fresh veggies can add to your food costs. And with the economy being a big ugly mess at the moment, people are understandably cautious about spending.
Shopping Tips for Low Carb Eating

There is no question that eating high protein, low carb can be costly. Think about it...what were all the cheapo filler things you used to buy? Pasta, macaroni and cheese, rice, english muffins, noodles... you get the idea. The fact is, you will just have to buckle down and re-budget. Being overweight and the complications that can bring is surely more costly than spending a bit more at the supermarket. And, think of it this way: you'll be paying for food that will be nourishing your body!
