Which "healthy foods" are you referring to?
Quote From: teviv4Hi there Cluekeeper
I'm a 31yr old female that has also given up on trying to live healthy via health foods. I live in South African and believe me it's not any easier or cheaper buy "healthy" foods here either. You are constantly being lied to about everything. We have a SABS here which is supposed to control this, but it ain't working. You buy "low fat" foods shich aren't low fat at all.
Please don't give up hope. Think about the leprechauns pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Eat normal foods but cook them healthier. For example, instead of frying the meat - grill it.
I'm not a skinny person. For my build (lenght) I'm 30 kilograms overweight - and that's according to my very own skinny (and might I add, very beautiful) female doctor.
If you feel like "talking" to someone about how you feel the day, you can email me and we can "chat. I'm not always online but do get around to emails at night. The healthy foods Dr Phil talks about in his books are natural, whole foods. Nothing that is highly refined with lists of additives and preservatives. So what you should be eating are fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Anything that looks like a snack item and comes in a box or bag should be off limits, no matter what the labeling says.
In my experience, it has been cheaper to eat natural, healthy foods, but preparation time is longer, so you have to spend some time planning and preparing. This is where I fall down quite a bit, I wait too long to start preparing, and then start "tasting" as I'm cooking. Once you get into the habit though, the rewards are tremendous because you feel so much better!
