How to Eat Right on a Budget

October 27th, 2008

One of my first main concerns when I started eating holistically was that I was going to have to dish out

You can eat healthy on a budget!

more cash to eat foods that probably didn’t even taste good. Wrong! One of the first things I learned was that everyone has a number of nutrient levels our body wants and needs to fufill everytime we eat. Not eating a “well-balanced meal” (I’m sure you’ve heard that phrase before) causes our bodies to say “hey! were missing x and y-factor, etc.. keep eating! Something.. Anything… until we get it!” That’s where sugar cravings come from.. too much sugar and the body gets thrown off balance.

The chemicals in processed foods has the same effect on your body! Yuck!! One of the first things I noticed when I learned to eat a balanced meal was I was able to eat more often (5-6 times a day) but I was eating A LOT less than before. All my cravings we gone and I no longer spent money on food I didn’t need (such as ice cream, gronola bars, etc.), nor did I feel like going out to eat (when I did it was only to socialize and I normally ordered something very light).

This densely nutritious food was doing my body right!!! Now after almost an entire year of living this way, I have not gotten sick since! I was so happy to find myself not spending on doctor visits, antibiotics or cough medicine.. you get the picture. So the price maybe; changing some lifestyle habits, learning about eating healthy for your body, and throwing out all the garbage in your cabinets.. but to look and feel good (imagine what you’ll look like at 50, if you’re not already there yet!).. absolutely PRICELESS.
