Eat at Home
Eating at home always saves
money, especially if you're ordering the "healthier" options which
tend to cost more. It also can save you calories which is always beneficial for
losing weight. Limit meals out to 3-4 per week (that's counting 21 meals per
week!).
Frozen Vegetables
...can be so great. They
never go bad so if you don't get around to eating them, you won't have to waste
them and throw them away. They are also usually frozen at their peak so they
should be nice and fresh and usually cost less than fresh vegetables so it is a
win-win situation all around.
Say No to Diet Food
Ohhhh, diet food. You are
more expensive and less satisfying. The portion control is great, but
everything else is lacking. Portion out your own 100-calorie packs in
snack-size baggies!
Drink Water
Almost every drink but
water is expensive. And has calories. Choose water for most of your
liquid!
Portion Sizes
Keeping your meals inline
with recommended portion sizes is not only a good way to lose weight but it's
also a good way to spend less money. Learn the correct portion sizes for
proteins, carbohydrates and fats to keep your calories and budget in-check!
Workouts
Working out can be
expensive. Go the less-expensive route by working out at home, with a dvd
or outside. (Running/walking is free.) If you need to workout at a gym,
choose a basic one that doesn't cost much.
