"Thifty" diet plan
I came across this link in an article on the high cost of low carb diets.
It is *not* a low carb diet and since it comes from the USDA it may not be as weight loss oriented as someone would like but it could give someone living on a shoe-string some ideas for stretching their food $. www.Cnpp.usda.gov/Pubs/Cookbook/thriftym.pdf The original MSNBC article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4901047/ HTH Tonia |

(Yes, they specified white bread.) Nearly all the meals were high-glycemic and contained too many empty calories (i.e., from white bread) for me. In fact, it says to base meals around (white) rice and (refined flour) pasta. I'd be undernourished and hungry within my calorie budget on that diet. If I were telling people how to live on not very much money I'd start with oatmeal for breakfast, concentrate on veggies and cheap protein sources (like skimmed milk cottage cheese and eggs and cheaper cuts of fish and chicken) and fruits in season. If they must have a starch, choose brown rice, sweet potatoes or a hearty multi-grain bread with lots of fiber and beans. Dally |

"Thifty" diet plan
I'm sure it is about not wanting to upset the agribusinesses that
lobby them, but the USDA does seem to have a problem with pushing refined carbs versus healthy whole grain products. Steve Dally wrote in message ...
