Dieting on a budget

[Al]

Somehow it seems like eating less should cost less, but I always end
up spending more when I'm dieting. I just read this article:

http://www.livestrong.com/article/4096-need-diet-programs/

It talks about how diets can fit every budget. But what are your tips
for losing weight on a tight budget?

Thanks!

Eat less and wonder about your soul, it is The Universe playing tricks with
your stomach in that mean time the most frugal answer is to protect your
vote, that is if you live in a society that embraces democracy

I agree. Starch is cheap calories but they don't satisfy for long. Fat
is pretty cheap calories, if you don't mind having a heart attack later.
I would like to hear about some cheap sources of lean protein.

London broil (boneless beef shoulder) was on sale here last week for
$1.99/lb - about as lean a piece of meat as you'll get. Great slow
grilled with a teriyaki marinade, even on the third day in a steak
sandwich with a touch of BBQ sauce.

Excellent if sliced very thin, across the grain.

Split chicken breast is on sale here at $0.99/lb this week (3 lbs or more).

Eat a lot less of what you normally eat.

Not a shred of rocket science whatever involved.

Cut the starch, eat mostly protein and fat, and stop worrying about the
heart attack. Without the carbs your cholesterol will stay low.

[Don Klipstein]

Cut calories of any/all types enough to lose weight (or stay lean) and
generally cholesterol and triglycerides will be low. Have fat intake less
of saturated and the worse-still trans fats and more of unsaturated
especially cis-mono unsaturated (majority of olive oil) and "good
cholesterol" goes up. Get plenty of aerobic exercise and "good
cholesterol" goes up and "bad cholesterol" goes down.

If you are one of the 15-20% of the population with a genetic deficiency
in cholesterol regulation, then there is an extra need to eat animal
products in general in quite a bit of moderation, and to eat egg yolks,
organ meats, and most shellfish in severe moderation.

Thats not necessarily true. Most of the fools around here walk on
the roads, quite literally. Its amazing that more dont get run over.

Plenty of geriatrics can get quite injured even just falling over, and can end up dead as a result.

I guess it depends on your definition of "lots" - according to the meter on
my treadmill, a brisk 2 mile walk burns about 100 calories.
