so i've been working with my chef mom and am putting together my own creation that satisfies that goal.

i have also become interested in the whole nutrition/energy thing. i've lost most (all) cravings for any sort of junk food and find myself craving healthy items when i find myself hungry and also notice an increase in energy, alertness, everything when i eat properly.

so many of those things they advertise with comfort foods i am realizing are more valid for nutritious foods!

It's definitely a lot cheaper to eat crappy than healthy for sure. You can do a lot of things with Tofu, the super silky version is a great to blend up with fruit for a creamy smoothie, the more firm versions are good as meat substitutes if you are trying to venture away from a lot animal protein.

I'm a steakaholic, so its hard for me to give up that up, but gimme a George Foreman, a bag of salad, throw on some mandarin oranges and cilantro on the salad and you're good to go.

I've been really into lemon pepper lately, and found that even tuna sandwiches have become more interesting with it mixed in (where you can really taste it, not just sprinkled on).

Tomorrow is 90 days, I won't look any better tomorrow since I'm currently sick, but I gotta keep the rules I set for myself

Again, less dollars short term in exchange for what costs long term? If only there was a tangible good representing a positive or a negative health effect that they also put in your shopping bag. It's clearly not a top-of-mind consideration by the look of things. We're very price tag driven, arent we.

there's the rub.

CarlosTheGaucho · 05-04-2010, 01:58 PM

Btw. I absolutely don't understand this "costs" argument.

I'm saving loads of money by making (cooking would be a strong word) my own meals.

It's also the only way to control what you eat.

I've never been more cost effective than now although I eat 5 times a day.

PornMD · 05-04-2010, 02:01 PM

1. Expensive in either cost or time.
2. Taste.

#2 is likely because I was fed junk food more or less while I was a kid, so I grew up on it. Trying to shake bad eating habits for good has been a lifelong battle. It wasn't until a few years ago that my addiction to soda ended, and it was as simple as quitting it pretty much completely for about 5 or 6 months...after that, I could have one every now and then and not get back into the habit of having 2+ liters worth a day.

What I need to do is start applying that one-by-one to the junk foods I eat, but it's tough especially when my focus in life right now is on money vs. health and I loooooove the taste of some foods.

At the moment, I'm about 230-235 lbs...was about 280 30-36 months ago, had gotten all the way down to about 205 around a year and a half ago but have slowly gone back up since then as eating habits kept creeping back to junk and exercise habits have eased. I actually did start just yesterday my latest conscious effort to kick some ass with eating and exercise...we'll see how well it sticks.

I eat pretty healthy like 98% of the time. Occasional dessert, beer, or butter when eating out or traveling is the remaining 2%.

I could get off the computer and be more active though and it wouldn't be excessive.

Up front, the cost is higher, but over time, I'm sure the benefit of eating healthier is much more cost effective (in terms of $, and health)

I drink no soda, energy drinks, vitamin water, sports drinks, etc...Just filtered water which is free (more or less), 100% real orange juice (about 9 for a week's worth) and the occasional beer at home.

I eat 6 times a day, but with portion control, 1 "mea;" can be split into 2. Since I am a pescatarian (vegetarian that eats fish occasionally), my diet is mixed with fresh fruits and vegetables, soups, wraps, whole grain pastas, sushi every now and then, burritos/tacos and brown rices, whey protein and a men's daily multivitamin.

All in all, I feel fairly healthy and I allow myself one day to splurge per week. I'm far from the healthiest, but I feel better than I did 2 years ago!
