Fat Loss 4 Idiots Book

With food and gas prices soaring its hard to find ways to lose weight while sticking to a budget. It seems that the cheap foods at the grocery store are the ones that you should stay away from, especially when trying to lose weight. Many people believe that it is simply too expensive to eat healthful foods that are cheap.

I found ways around this problem and came up with my own ideas and solutions.

1.) Never go to the store hungry. This one is really obvious, but if you eat a meal or snack before scouring the aisle of your local grocer you're more likely to stick to your list and budget.

2.) Stop buying bottled water. There are hundreds of reasons why you should stop drinking bottled water: chemicals, plastic, waste etc. But, a big reason is the cost. Consider making a small investment in a water filter that you can use over and over. Use one water container to carry around with you and wash it at the end of the day.

3.) Stay away from single-serving packaging. The cost is ridiculous! If you cannot stop yourself from eating your favorite snack, chances are you will eat all of the small packets in one sitting. The best solution for this is to buy in bulk and separate the portions yourself in baggies.

4.) Buy seasonal and local produce.

5.) Create menu's around weekly store specials and coupons.

6.) Stop Buying Pre-packaged diet foods. Find a diet plan that allows you to shop at the grocery store and provides you with menu's and recipe lists. Such as The Day Off Diet. Many pre-packaged foods are expensive and lack in nutrition where they compensate in sodium and fillers.
