Katzcradul demonstrates her method of canning butter. The video is in 2 parts. The canned butter should be stored in as cool a place as possible, away from sunlight. Once your jar is opened, it does not have to be refrigerated, if used within a few days. This is why canning in half pint jars is preferable. DISCLAIMER: The USDA has not conducted any studies to determine if home canning butter is safe. Please use your own judgement to determine if this process right for your family.
I’m thinking about starting an experiment to see the what effect a very low budget diet will have on my wallet, and possibly weight / general health. I’m sticking with only PB&J to minimize the chance of trying to rationalize spending any extra money “just this time”. I plan on alternating breads between white, wheat, and possibly pita. I also plan to use Grape jelly and Strawberry preserves and smooth peanut butter.
I’m doing this because I spend too much $ on food I don’t really like because i’m too lazy to make lunch for work, then I come home and get fast food because i’m tired. Not a good diet to start.
Questions:
1. Will I be in need of medical attention in a month?
2. Is there anything I should add to my meal plan to safeguard my health?
(Keep in mind LOW BUDGET)
3. Is it realistic to think that I can survive on $25 worth of food for a month when I normally spend about $600? (@ $20 per day x 30 days)
4. Will my wallet get fatter and waist get smaller?
Right now my diet is already bad:
Breakfast: Coffee and a pastry.
Lunch: Typical midtown manhattan… Hero, Pizza, or something similar and soda.
4:00 break: Soda
Get Home: more soda or juice
Dinner: Fast food, Chinese, Hero, or Pizza. More Liquid sugar to wash it down.
Sometimes i’ll have yogurt if i’m feeling hungry after dinner.
I doubt it could get too much worse…
A few more points:
This will only be for a month, mostly to show myself how much money I actually waste on garbage.
I’m not in a financial crunch by any means, (but also not doing so well that $600 a month is something to be taken lightly.
I was made aware through other sources and here that i may have some problems with “regularity”
The main thing is it’s not easy for me to change my routine, i’m hoping that this will make it easy for me to find the middle ground, and stick to it. I’ve tried working on my meal spending, after a few days of forgetting my lunch in the refrigerator i forget that i’m trying to save for another week.

is 1 tbsp that bad?? on the other butter my mother buys it says for 1 tbsp its 100 calories! and 100 calories from fat, 11 total fat, 4 grams sat very bad.
Im sticking to eating 3 meals a day and not do what i was doing when dieting, cutting EVERYTHING OUT. i am using the new method “everything in moderation” because i started binging on EVERYTHING, pizza, chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers, pudding, oatmeal, granulated sugar(i dont put sugar on my foods but i have been when i binge), ect) Im trying to get over this and just eat in moderation. is this butter gonna get me fat!?
Alright so all yesterday i had a bad binge day. i had to have eating atleast 2000 calories of bad stuff i NEVER eat much of. I lost 30 lbs and now trying to maintain it. But lastnight since ive started my period i couldnt help myself untill 2 o clock in the morning. I mean i ate EVERYTHING. 3 bowls of oatmeal, so much sugar, LOTS of butter, i never eat butter or put sugar in my food, 2 BOXES of kashi crackers, lots of dark chocolate lots of chicken, LOTS of yogurt, lots of almond and cereal, lots of CHIPs, french fries, WHITE bread, and SO MUCH MORE and the last thing i ate was pudding i made at like 2 in the morning. I ate so much i was sick and my stomach was HARD. I got onto the scale this morning and it said i gained 2 lbs. What should i do? I got up(5:30am is when i eat breakfast) and i ate my plain shredded wheat cereal with skim milk. Then for lunch i had a sugarfree preserve sandwich on whole wheat with an apple. then for snack at around 3:30 i had a small apple with a lot of natural PB, a handful of kashi crackers and a handful of mini marshmellows.. yes i binged a lil more today but tm i think ill be ok.. Do you think i can take the weight off? After i ate breakfast i exercised a lil bit on my ellipical machine. Do you think the weight will stay? i only binge like that once a month.
