Eating Healthy on a Budget Series Part 1

Part 1 of Eating Healthy on a Budget Series is 10 Tips for Eating Healthy on a Budget. One of my favorite websites to visit is www.choosemyplate.gov most of these tips are things that you will use in Phase4 but I thought that it is not just dieters on Phase1 that are hanging out here. So here is something for others that are on Phase4 and Maintenance.

10 Tips for Eating Healthy on a Budget

1. Plan Plan Plan
2. Get the Best Price
3. Compare and Contrast
4. Buy in Bulk
5. Buy in season
6. Convenience costs...go back to the basic
7. Easy on your wallet
8. Cook once eat all week
9. Get your creative juices flowing
10. Eating out

All of these tips are fairly simple to follow but you need to dedicate the time for these things. If you want to save $$ but stay healthy you need to take time and plan these things. I know you are thinking you are a planner but I am not. Even if you just sit down for 10 minutes a night and plan things out for a few days are are better off then if you do not plan at all and just wing it. You are more likely to keep the weight off if you are planning what you are going to eat and stick to your plan!

I have decided that I am going to take these 10 tips and make them my series. This is just a brief overview of what fun is to come with the second part of the series!

I hope these things help you to start Eating Healthy on a Budget. Stay tuned for Part 2 in our series.
