Lose Weight on a Budget
You know the health benefits of exercising, eating healthy and
losing weight. There is plenty of help on the internet and on TV.
Everywhere you look there are new “breakthrough” gadgets and eating
programs that promise to help you transform your life, for a hefty
fee.
You can start an effective weight loss program without much expense.
In fact, starting an effective program should save you money. You
likely save significant dollars in medical expenses over a lifetime.
Here are things you are incorporate to lose weight without breaking your budget:
Exercise: The
easiest and least expensive of all options is walking. All you need is a
pair of shoes. Many studies have shown that walking can be as
effective as running in terms of heart health. Walking at a brisk pace
can also burn hundreds of calories in as little as 30 minutes.
Weight Lifting: For
as little as $15 you can buy some small weights and do a home weight
training program. You should weight train three days per week and it
can take as little as 20 minutes. Many exercises such as push-ups and
lunges don’t require any equipment.
Nutrition: Eating
healthy doesn’t have to cost more money. The first thing to think about
when visiting the grocery store is to avoid processed foods. This can
be tough because it’s easy to get addicted to processed foods, and many
of them can be cheap. Try to stick to the perimeter of the store and
focus your time and attention to whole foods, such as vegetables,
fruits, and other items with minimal processing. Look for sales on
produce and consider visiting your local farmers market. Another great
option for cheap produce is to grown your own! For example, you can
grow pounds and pounds of green beans, tomatoes and corn for under $5
worth of seeds.
Don’t use cost as an excuse of why you can’t lose weight. At the end
of the day weight loss boils down to eating less and moving more.
Neither of these things needs to cost significant money. Continue to
