We frequently hear "eating healthy is expensive" or "I cant afford your lifestyle" - it's very simple and it's inexpensive.
Finances seem to be the #1 reason people would rather stay in their bad habits than change... and the solution (eating healthy) probably costs no more than your current spending on unhealthy foods. Our advice, INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH, first!
* Eat Less.
* Eat More Vegetables, fruits, whole grains & plant proteins - those are the things that keep you full! Eat less meat & dairy.
* Eat in season. Buy local. Shop farmer's markets. You'll pay more for foods that are not in season. Join a CSA; freeze or can the extra produce.
* Watch Your Portion Size. Eat the serving size, not more.
* Eat At Home. Learn to cook, if you don't know how. All you need is the ability to read and some healthy recipes.
* Make sacrifices in other areas of your budget, if need be... do we really need 300 television stations?! Go outside for entertainment (and for your health!).
* Don't Waste Food. According to a study conducted this past August, the average American family throws away half of their food (approximately $2,200 in food per family is thrown away annually). Would you throw $2,200 in cash in the garbage? If not, then don't throw your food away either!! Have leftover night. Freeze leftovers. Be creative in how you can use leftovers!
