SIMPLE WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT ON A BUDGET

Plan to Cook at home

Instead of buying costly prepared meals, which often tend to be high in calories, cook

your own at home. Plan out our meals with high – fiber foods like beans and whole

grains which will keep you full and are a cheaper, healthier alternative to rich proteins

and more processed grains.

Eat less

Eating less leads to weight loss, and cost savings, especially if you cut down on the right

things. Start by cutting your portions of spicy meat and poultry. Or swap out meat and

poultry for cheaper vegetarian proteins likes beans, lentils, tofu and eggs for some of your

meals.

Double Up on Vegetables

Vegetables are great for weight loss, as well as all- around health. They are low in

calories and high in water and fiber – two things that keep you feeling full. Save cash by

shopping for those that are in season. Frozen vegetables can be a great bargain, with just

as much nutrition as fresh, since they are picked and frozen at thier peak ripeness.

Get Creative with your exercise options

You don’t need to shell out a monthly gym fee to get moving. Instead, find fun activities

you enjoy for free. If you’re just getting started with a regular exercise routine, try your

beginning with daily walks: start slowly and build up time and speed.

Make friends with someone

One of the most powerful resources you have for helping you lose weight is your social

network. Find a friend who is also trying to lose weight and agree to help each other say

motivated. One study found that when friends participated in a group weight – loss

programme together, they lost more weight than people who did the same programme on

their own.
