She said something crazy like $46/month on instaWhat sort of budget Cristy?
Wow, 11 bucks a week would be close to impossible I'd thinkShe said something crazy like $46/month on insta
A healthy lifestyle is cheaper no doubt
I reckon a single person could eat well on 70 bucks a week and a vegan for less
It is a double edged sword and I would say that a sedentry lifestyle has as much to do with being obese than over eating, if not more.yeah, but for obese people, it's it more to do with eating too much?
It's a double edged sword, obese people are not very active, which does not help their cause, so they live solitary type lives, their outlet is to visit food malls and eat more still.
thats my thinking.
its not so much the "junk food", if there is any - we often discuss this.
but "junk food" for these types of people is the extra they consume, which turns into fat.
I am personally on a low budget but my food bill is usually only $20 a week due to shopping at markets and stuff. I also eat loads of lentals, chick peas and beans. I even make my own sauces and soups.[MENTION=18530]Reide[/MENTION]
I thought you were using Prana protein and coconut milks and creams in your cooking?
Or is this just a discussion topic? ☺
I have some low budget recipes but not $11 a week low.
No, you can eat healthy because of a low budget or income. In the old days, only the rich had access to certain luxuries, and one of if not the king of all luxuries back then was what we now call white poison. That's right, sugar...., add white flour to the mix whilst you're at it!Can you still eat healthy on a low budget?
Obesity has more than one cause, some are medical, some are psychological/emotional, others are based on ignorance and perhaps a belief that one needs to be rich to afford nutrient dense food.I've always heard people blaming obesity for low income.
The opposite is also true when it comes to some of the best foods on this planet...., I'm thinking legumes and pulses, the resistant starch kings. Remember in another post of yours on juice, I did make mention of your internal health and there I wrote the word microbiome/your internal gut environment, healthy or otherwise. Yogurt is another very cheap food that is simply amazing for your internal health and it costs peanuts (no actually it's cheaper than peanuts and much better for you) when you make it yourself.Bad foods are supposedly cheaper and help keep you fuller for longer.
Potatoes can not be placed in the same group as rice and pasta (generally speaking). Why is that? Because a potato is a whole food, rice and pasta that most people eat are generally speaking, devoid of any goodness bar the energy they provide in the form of their starchy carbohydrates. So what exactly are you saying Fadi, are they bad and are they to blame for the obesity some are suffering (blame due to their cheap prices)? My reply is absolutely not, if you care to teach yourself a little bit about food and how one can turn or render more nutritious what is less so. How is that done? By combining (say) some red kidney beans with pasta or rice. In doing so, you don't only add some much neeed nutritional elements that were missing from the two aforementioned foods, but you also create what most people (nutritionists included) are not aware of, and that is what we call the second meal effect. That's when eating a highly resistant-starch and soluble fiber food like a bean or a lentil with one that is not (rice and pasta). By doing so, you affect your insulin and blood sugar levels in a favourable way, where even when you eat your second meal (say the next morning after having a meal of rice and beans the night before), your morning meal does not have the same effect on your blood sugar levels as if you had not eaten the legumes the meal before.But when you look at potatoes, rices and even pastas they give you energy and fill you up. So what is your opinion on the matter? Can you eat healthy on a low amount of money? Why and why not?
