I belong to several groups on social media that deal with a healthy diet, specifically for me a Ketogenic style diet. A common theme from so many of the ones that are interested in initiating a new food life style is "Its so expensive!"
There is always an excuse to be found, there is always a reason to not do something, there is always a way to justify poor behavior. Until you have reached rock bottom, behavior will not be modified. For me to have the impetus to drop weight (and it is almost 200# now), my Neurosurgeon informed me I was too damn fat to be operated on.
I was in extreme pain due to failing discs in my back, advanced arthritis and a myriad of other problems and yet I debated on loosing the weight. I made the decision to go the KETO route.
Regarding cost for KETO, I actually find it less expensive than my previous food routine. There are no "magical" weight loss shakes/drinks/foods, no expensive supplements or plans to obtain; Nothing fancy, just straight forward high protein, low carb foods. My new lifestyle consists of meat, vegetables, and any other high protein yet carb free options available.
I am a fan of cruciferous vegetable and flash fry these in a small amount of butter. Lean meats (specifically boneless skinless chicken breasts) are a cornerstone of my new food lifestyle. Shop around, buy in bulk and freeze the excess; Often you will find several chicken cuts at less that $1 per pound.
The final take, there is always a way to fail and make excuses, to achieve success is not difficult, it just takes determination and a plan. There is always a reason for your actions, make yours wanting to experience a positive change in your life and a positive influence on others.
Be the reason someone becomes a positive (and healthier) person!
