The High Price Of Losing Weight/ Body Fat

Following a low-carbohydrate diet is a proven way to lose weight/body fat, but your new body won’t come cheaply. Consumer expert Phil Lampert estimated that it costs about $14 per day to follow the Atkins diet and nearly $13 per day to follow the South Beach diet. In contrast, the government’s Thrifty Food Plan cost slightly more than $6 per day.

Low-carb diets require consumption of expensive fish, beef, pork and chicken and can be a stretch for low- and middle-income families. Salmon, which is a favored entrée on the Atkins and South beach menus, is far more expensive than the ground beef and noodle casserole recommended by the government’s diet plan. Cut down on the cost of “Atkins foods” by using frozen fish, meats, fruits and vegetables instead of fresh (not fish sticks) and substitute canola oil for olive oil when cooking.
