A few things I've done/learned that might be helpful for you:<br /><br />Buy a re-usable water bottle that is not plastic. My $20 Sigg bottle has paid for itself a hundred times over. I bring it with me everywhere and now drink more than enough water.<br /><br />I once was someone who skipped breakfast, but no more! I'm on tight budget, but my go-to breakfast is super cheap, healthy & easy to adapt to your own taste. I mix a huge batch of my own version of muesli: about 3lbs of oatmeal, 1 cup each of sliced almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes & dried cranberries (I don't like raisins) & 2-3T of flax seed. Every night I measure about 1/2 cup of the mix and sprinkle 1-2T of water on top and let it soften up overnight. In the morning I mix it with some plain yogurt & either canned or fresh fruit or prunes (they get an bad "old lady" rep, but they are really tasty!). I buy everything from the bulk section so I can buy the exact amount I need.<br /><br />Eat more beans: they are chock full of protein and super cheap. I'm especially fond of black beans & garbanzo beans (chick peas!). <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/" rel="nofollow">Smitten Kitchen</a> has some yummy recipes and the New York Times did a <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/news/health/series/recipes_for_health/blackbeans/index.html" rel="nofollow">whole series on black beans</a> last year.<br /><br />Hope that helps a little. Good luck with your goals!<br />~Christine H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-2395823608697179672010-02-18T18:54:45.229-05:002010-02-18T18:54:45.229-05:00Thanks for this post.

My body is not trained to ignore hunger so I needed to be sure I ate well. I see how spending less on food might mean eating less. A couple of thoughts:<br /><br />Beans are a wonderful source of protein. Many nuts offer, protein, iron, and fats -- a prepackaged bag may carry a high price tag, so maybe buying partial pounds will decrease the sticker shock. Avocado and artichoke have been tasty superfoods, too, and even better when on sale.Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398754886656482414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-15758321750846613712010-02-17T18:51:21.402-05:002010-02-17T18:51:21.402-05:00Did you monitor your progress on Daily Burn for a ...Did you monitor your progress on Daily Burn for a whole month?

(Today I'm going to the doc, for prescription renewal, and I'll have to confess I haven't had the yearly blood workup that he requested last time, because I keep intending to "build myself up" first, and keep not doing it.)<br /><br />Now I know I'm not alone. Thank you!<br /><br />I wish you well in your quest for a balanced diet, and I wish you *well* in the health sense.scbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048966584552769915noreply@blogger.com
