    As a student, and as someone who prefers a lower carb diet, I can agree with you that yes, it is expensive. Particularly in Britain.
    But I also find it easier to lose weight when my diet is more protein-heavy than carb-heavy, and that a multi-vitamin is not a substitute for a vegetable.
    One thing I've found to help get some extra protein is to mix a scoop of protein powder into plain yoghurt. Top with fruit for a tasty snack. :)

    The symptoms you were experiencing are typical of "carb flu"--they do go away after a few days.

    The feeling of being ill can happen in the first few days of eating low carb.

    With that being said, if you don't like eating meat I have no idea why you would try eating low carb. You will have to continue with it for life if you choose to maintain that way.
