It's hard for me to believe I used to make a meal from boxed mac 'n' cheese; when my ham/broccoli/cauliflower casserole with sauce made from HWC and real cheese is soooooooooo much better.

I know some people say low carb pushes up their food bill; I don't see it. Granted, if you were living on rice & beans previously, eating meat instead of starch is going to show up at the cash register.

I no longer buy $5 pies, $4 boxes of cookies, or $3 toaster pastries; that money is now going for REAL MEAT.

I also tried "saving money" by getting cheap processed food, but a) I can't eat it with as much pleasure, and b) it makes me hungry. I'm hardly saving money when I have to eat three of whatever it is.
