Why is healthy food more expensive?
This might be a silly question for you, but I'm going to ask anyway. Why is healthy food so expensive? My food intake has gone down 50% since I started eating healthy, but my food bill is the same because the healthy stuff is nearly twice as expensive as the fat stuff.

I not only want to eat more healthy food, but I also want to model better eating habits to…

Sugar Free?
Has anyone ever tried or are on a sugar free diet? I've been on it just under a week and am feeling good. At first I was desperate for something sugary. A chocolate bar, a biscuit. Anything.

After researching, it is my understanding ingesting an excess of any macros (carbs, fat, or protein) will be converted by the body to fat through the body's various adaptive abilities.
