Default too expensive right now

H i guys.....I havent been to this sight in a long time.....I lost a lot of weight on this atkins diet...and I love it......but over the year I have gained it back. I'm getting married December 21st so I need to get back on this. But the problem is, I am VERY tight on money and will be for another maonth n a half.....I have continued to slowly put on weight since I went off the diet....Im beginning to think that maybe Im gaining it faster since I was on the Atkins for so long and my system doesnt want to reverse itself. What kind of regimen can I go on to maintain or lose for the next month till I can start the Atkins again? Id really appreciate some advice....when I say tight on money, I mean Roman Noodles might be a good idea for the next month kind of thing.
Thanks!

How about buying eggs and cheese (cheddar is cheap) for protein? It may be REALLY boring, but should be very inexpensive.

Too right, jordy. I felt bad about buying myself steaks or whatever, then realized that it was nothing compared to the sweet breakfast cereals at $4 a box, or fast food "supersized" meals at over $6. So now I eat nothing but nice meat and fresh veg, and I'm the cheapest to feed in the whole household.
