    I hate eating out now...

    And I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing, it's probably great - I know exactly what I'm eating and I'm sure I'm saving a ton of money. I know I can find a way to eat low carb out in restaurants, but a lot of the time that means having a salad or a hunk of meat with some bland veggies on the side, and I just can't bring myself to spend $15+ on a meal I know I can make myself at home for about 5 bucks.

    My cheapness is encouraging my low carb lifestyle! Anyone with me?

        Me, too. Which is great because eating out is extremely expensive.

          hahaha, me too! I've had to do it a bunch of times in the past couple of weeks too. it's honestly not the expense that gets me (though it is a factor), but the uncertainty of the presence of hidden carbs. it's maddening. I'd rather cook.

          plus, I make better food than most places.

            I wholeheartedly agree!

            Making your own food is so much easier than having to worry about what someone else might have added to even a simple dish. I was suprised to discover that some restaurants add milk to omelettes or scrambled egg as I have always used just butter and eggs!

            And like all of you - I make better meals for much less money too! Though this is not just an Atkins thing - I have always felt this about eating out and needed persuading to spend out on a (possibly) inferior meal.
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
