Have any of you ever eaten LC on a very tight budget? I mean, like, we're on food-stamps, kind of budget? My family is very low income right now, we have 2 kids and my husband is an immigrant (he's legal don't worry) so we don't exactly have a lot of money. I know that eating low carb will help me be healthier and lose weight so that's what I have decided to do. BUT, it seems like buying REAL food at the grocery store, instead of refined this and that and junk food, is SO SO Much more expensive. My husband is ok with me eating low carb, even though it is more expensive. His logic is that if I don't lose weight and get healthier then eventually we're going to have to spend a lot of money on medical expenses/medications etc....

Any thoughts/advice on this? How do you keep your budget low while eating low carb/real food?
