“I CAN’T eat healthy – it is SO expensive.
OR
“I don’t have TIME to prepare my food.”
Although I mainly disagree with both – I can possibly see some valid reasons why people make these points.
I have learnt that the majority of people we deal with in today’s society aren’t prepared to prepare their own food.
WHY?
These beliefs are based on 3 main issues:
1. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
2. LACK OF PRIORITY
3. BAD HABITS/ BELIEFS
SO how can you ease the stress on the hip pocket but still eat tasty and healthy meals?
1. LEARN to substitute healthy alternatives for half the price…
The new Superfood craze is costing people unnecessarily!!!!!!
Did you know?
- Kale is double the price of spinach but has fewer nutrients including iron and potassium?
- Quinoa (the go to for GF Carbohydrates) can be replaced with Lentils which are a great source of fibre and contain a richer amount of nutrients?
- Goji Berries (ridiculously $$$$$) have fewer antioxidants than Blueberries?
Of course, if you are wanting to follow the latest trends and superfoods, your shopping trolley price tag is going to stack up but many of the healthiest staples are actually more affordable than their unhealthy counterparts.
Also…
2. IMPROVE your knowledge
- Find out what foods are suited to you when and why?
- How certain foods affect your hormone control?
- How your type of training affects what and when you should eat?
- Try a different vegetable per week! It is great to have a rich variety of vegetables.
