How to budget on this diet plan

Focus on buying whole, unprocessed foods which are often cheaper and healthier. Purchase mushrooms and other vegetables in season to get the best prices and flavors. Consider growing your own herbs to add flavor to your dishes without additional costs. Preparing your own snacks and meals from scratch will help avoid the higher costs of pre-packaged, sugar-free items.
