About four months ago, I felt pretty desperate. I had been saying I was going to lose weight for months and hadn’t ever stepped up to the plate and started to diet or exercise. I felt anxious, scared and incapable.  Five years ago I had lost 30 pounds but after losing that weight, I quickly regained it once I returned to my old eating habits.  But my life was turned around once I was introduced to a fiber supplement called Skinny Fiber and started eating healthier, exercising more and craving less.

The price of healthy foods is often the reason people think they can’t afford proper nutrition. But is eating right really more expensive than buying junk food? Surprisingly, the answer is no, and you can see it with your own eyes. At least, it depends on how you measure the price.

In fact, proper nutrition is mostly based on ordinary products. Your usual shopping cart will include eggs, meat, fish (for those who consume animal products), whole grain bread, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables. At the same time, a balanced diet really saturates you and gives you energy throughout the day. If we compare 1,000 calories from unhealthy food like chips or sweets to 1,000 calories from a healthy meal, we can see that the former is a very small amount of food.

One of the ways I lost so much weight was by changing my diet in addition to taking my fiber supplements. I’m a huge believer that you can get fit by eating more fiber. Most people are not getting in enough each day and the minimum amount of fiber required is at least 20 grams per day for adult men and women.

If you’re not sure of what types of snacks you can eat in order to get in enough fiber each day, I have written a great list of some healthy options that you can get at your local supermarket or health food store. Obviously, if it’s possible, opt for the organic options of the suggested fruits and vegetables. However, organic fruits and vegetables are often quite expensive, so selecting a non-organic option is fine providing you wash the veggies and fruits before consumption!

Although a healthy lifestyle seems to be more expensive, it also improves the quality of our life. Therefore, you can consider higher costs to be the price you pay for your healthy and happy future. Although a healthy lifestyle is usually called prestigious, there are many healthy options available to almost everyone. Here are some healthy habits that can benefit you both physically and mentally without additional expenses.
