Lose Weight in 2008 – How the Recession Can Help You to Lose Weight
Jennifer Jolan asked:
Without getting all “economical” with you, we’re in a recession. But you can actually use that to your advantage to lose weight. When you think about it, you’ll kick yourself and wonder why you didn’t think of this.
Times are getting tough for many of us. Money is getting tight. We have bills to pay. Tons of responsibilities. Increasing stress. With all that happening, it’s no wonder why it’s hard to lose weight.
I’m going to show you how to use the recession to kickstart your weight loss efforts.
It’s very simple.
Since money is tight, you will need to spend less on food… or at least try to spend less on food. But guess what, this works to your advantage. Since a lot of the processed, empty calorie foods are expensive… you have more incentive to cut those out of your diet and replace them with cheaper foods.
I’m going to give you 3 cheap weight loss foods to use to improve your health and speed up your weight loss. Nothing over $1.
Weight Loss Food #1: Black Beans
Each 15-ounce can of the Wal-Mart “Great Value” brand of black beans contains 25 grams of protein and 25 grams of fiber. There’s 0 sugar in the whole can and just 3 total grams of fat. Cost, 48 cents.
Weight Loss Food #2: Lentils
Each 1 pound bag of “Great Value” lentils gets you 13 servings… 11 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein per serving. Add that up. That comes to 143 grams of fiber and 130 grams of protein in 1 bag. There is 0 fat and only 2 grams of sugar per serving. Cost, 58 cents.
Weight Loss Food #3: Eggs
Each large egg has 6 grams of protein, 4.5 grams of fat, and less than a gram of carbs. Have 3-4 eggs in a meal. Cost of each egg, 12 cents (went up due to the recession). So say 3 eggs for 36 cents per meal.
Now, if you were to eat a meal consisting of 1/2 a can of black beans (24 cents), 2 servings of lentils (9 cents), and 3 eggs (36 cents)… you just had one incredibly healthy meal for 69 cents.
And… some of you won’t even be able to finish that. It’s a lot!
If you need some added taste to this meal, add in 1.5 tablespoons of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of honey mustard barbeque sauce, and or some sweet relish. Tastes great!
So there you have it. I gave you some easy to make weight loss foods that are cheap and taste good. So save some money, eat better, and lose weight. That’s a great combination.
