That's a great article, thank you for posting it!

I've actually found that I save money (I'm on a program that's kind of a combination of Atkins and SB). I think the reason is that I eat out less. If I plan things out carefully, which I just got doing, I can determine pretty accurately what items I need from the grocery store and in what portions.

Also, I try to be flexible by buying what's on sale. So even if I wanted steak, if I see chicken on sale, I'll buy that instead and just modify my menu a bit. Also, I've found that there are some lean cuts of beef that are extremely affordable. If they're not cooked properly, they can be tough, but I try to look recipes up on websites (www.allrecipes.com is one of my favs), and find out how to make it more tender.
