When your poor you're fat, Lame as it is.

Why is it that the healthy food cost so much these days? I mean about the only reason I'm unable to loose weight is because I lost my job.

not to be mean, but i would think you can't buy as much food if you don't have a job.

and what keeps you from working out? not like you have a job taking up all your time.

No! The only reason you can't lose weight is not because you lost your job, it's because you eat the wrong foods and don't burn off more calories than you are eating.

My sister and I were just commenting on this the other day. We were in the supermarket and the crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks were cheaper than the fruit, fruit juice and other healthy stuff.

I heard somewhere it's because less money goes into the manufacture of these products. I'm not sure if that's true, though.

Go on Atkins. It works and it's cheap. Just eat lots of salads, chicken, meat or protein, green veggies and/or sometimes whole wheat bread.. And gradually move your way up to peanuts and yogurt, etc. etc.

That's what I did. It works. I lost over 40lbs a while back.

thanks I'll see what I can do as long as the state come through here. or I get an interview soon lol

I wouldn't suggest going on the full atkins, just because I heard it's bad for you.. But if you eat mainly those and throw in some low fat yogurt and/or some cottage cheese with say.. Pineapple.. I'm sure you'll at least loose some. If you add in some exercise, then you'll be on a good road to loosing weight.

I've had problems with loosing weight too, but Akins really helped and I actually really lost weight. The first two weeks are pretty strict, but after that, it gets better.

Try celery. It's got negetive calories.

I agree with lil bear.
If you have right diet and a good exercise you will not become fat regardless of the wealth.

In fact you should have become thinner.
The reason you're not is also because of the availability of high calorie food being offered for very very low price at fast food restaurant which is seem to be telling "food + big meat" and luring people.
- If you still wish to consume those, eat them either rarely or do exercise after eating to compensate for the calories consumed.

You can also afford ably buy vegetables and some meat for a low price and cook on your own too. The price you pay daily for fast food will be more or less the same when added with what you pay in at once for veges/meat in lbs.
- If you don't have time or can't cook, you can buy from restaurants (they always come in bulk amount of food that you can save for the next days too) and eat in small amount.

Eh actually healthy food is not really more expensive than fattening food. Well unless you're looking at organic foods. You just have to shop right. Chicken is seriously cheaper than steak. A bunch of bananas will cost less than a bag of Lays or Ruffles. Apples are cheaper than candy ounce for ounce. Oatmeal is cheaper than sugary cereal. Milk is a bit more expensive than soda pop but calorie for calorie and nutrient for nutrient it's much cheaper. Canned tuna is cheaper than salami etc.

It's all how you shop. Look for sales and store brands. Don't just think dollar for dollar. Think calorie for calorie and what you get out of them. Yeah a bag of apples is $3-4 and a bag of chips is $3. But you'll get a heck of a lot more out of the apples and they will go further.

Man, everything's too expensive these days... Anorexia's the cheapest way to lose weight

Why does everyone promote cottage cheese? It's like the foulest thing ever

Well until the medical bills kick in.



Cottage cheese is foul. I know some people who love it and I just don't understand how. Although I do know a way to make a low fat 'cheese cake' with it. Food processors are wonderful things.

Isn't that what women get in their knickers when they get thrush?

I'll buy both at Buy It Now!
