I haven't found this to be true if I'm frugal and careful. The food may cost

more initially but stretches farther. There are cheaper cuts of meat and

trying to find the more expensive grass feed beef is just impossible here. I

eat

very simply and do eat leftovers (steak or roast for breakfast is my

favorite). Processed foods are very expensive for the amount of food you get.

When I

buy for house guests who are not on the diet and drink sodas and " graze "

chips, sandwiches, etc, my food bill doubles.

My simple rule of thumb is that if I don't feel well after eating it, it is not

good for me.

Try Asian markets they are much cheaper than many American markets, at least

around here.

But i don't know where you live and what you have there.

Are you able to eat eggs (at least the yolk) - inexpensive source of protein.

White rice is very cheap and much better/healthier than more expensive grains or

bread or pasta.

For me when I have to cut back I stick with broccoli and a couple of other

things because broccolit is a great food source and fills me up.

Also soups and stews are a very good way to stretch food and feel satisfied.

You can use a crock pot, or what I usually do is brown the meat first and then

leave it in the over all day on 250.

Cheers, Cat

Most definitely - eliminating ALL grains from the diet will make a day &

night difference.

psorisis and low budget

I was wondering if my psoriasis could have anything to do with my diet.

are o's prone to it? are there foods that can make it worse. ive noticed

that certain foods can make me sick in weird ways and thought this might

be another food related problem. also im on a really low budget at the

moment (off for the summer) and eating right gets spendy. seems like

stuff thats good for me usually costs alot more than the stuff thats bad

for me.

thanks

I would highly recommend the book, " How I Overcame Psoriasis "

by Kent Trussell:

http://www.psoriasis-infoexchange.com/Psoriasis/index1.htm

It is not blood-type specific but it has lots of info about possible

foods to avoid and triggers for psoriasis.

My wife is an A and suffers from psoriasis. She found by combining

the insights in this book with the blood type diet that it did make a

difference.

You should be able to find a source for the book by doing a Google

search for the author's name.

Cheers,
