Atkins is not a diet that you can just start...it takes planning. Esp when it come to meals. Planning ahead with a menu and always having meals ready is the key to success. It takes away the guess work and temptations!
So i sat down and planned out a weeks worth of menus. List in hand i headed off to the grocery store. Let me also add in here that my family has ZERO interest in doing this diet with me or even remotely giving up any of thier comfort foods. So i actualy have to plan two menus! Well the grocery store was a real eye opener!
FYI: for those who dont know and are wanting to try a diet of some sorts..let me tell u how the grocery store works. STAY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE GROCERY STORE....perimeter (for the most part) means healthy....INSIDE AISLES ARE A NO NO! All the good comfort foods and things that arent good for you are on the inside aisles!
The inside aisles are also your least expensive!It really does cost alot to eat healthy. Esp when you are just getting started from scratch and have to buy all the staples! if our presidents wife is soooo concerned about healthy children then there should be an added tax on junk food and give us a break on healthy stuff!
But i will not be discouraged! I will keep an eye on the sales papers and may have to shop several different stores to catch sales; but i will trudge on!
