But for me, going super low carb is doing wonders for my illness, so eating mostly meat is not the extravagance it might seem, because I eat my slab of beef and I AM DONE, often for the rest of the day. I can have one expensive meal for the cost of three cheap ones.

For money, I'm even, and for health, I'm ahead.
