The name brand foods usually have a few less calories, less fat, and tend to be a bit healthier?

    it seems that eating healthier costs a lot more. My sister has been trying to lose weight for a long time but she is going back to school again, and has 2 daughters and a husband to take care of, so its hard for her and a lot people in her place to afford good healthy food. How douse one go forth losing weight in that situation?

    I am going to check that out saturday. Interesting, for sure.

    It truly is hard to eat healthy when you dont have the money to buy good food. A pomegranate was $4.99 :noway: One serving of fruit.

    And that's a heck of a lot of work eating a pomegranate. I wonder if the calorie intake negates the calories burned just trying to eat the @#$! thing...:bigsmile:

    Well no kidding, dang, that IS way to much work for me!! I now have Pomegrante juice spots all over the walls etc. Couldn't figure out what it was...sheesh it squirted everywhere...and MY but they ARE alot of work eating. I think I personally will try out the juice next time:blushing: :noway: :laugh:

    As long as I don't spill any I'll be fine!! But glad I tried the experience of eating one......now I can warn others....:laugh: :laugh: J/K!! sorta...:huh: :blushing: :bigsmile:

    I hear people say all the time it is more expensive buying healthy food. What I have found is if you are buying healthy food for yourself PLUS junk food/soda/fast food, then yes it is an added expense. I cut out buying soda, junk food and fast food and voila, extra money for good foods for the entire family-- we are saving money, looking good and feeling great. Yeah, I had to slowly wean them, and when the teenager and his dad are on their own they sneak out to Burger King, but what I don't know won't hurt me. :laugh:

    Once you identify a few healthy brands, just keep a lookout for whenever it is on sale or has a coupon.

    You can check http://www.couponmom.com/ or http://www.fatwallet.com/ for some leads.

    I only buy things on sale, and I like enough different foods/brands that I can always find something at a local store.

    Also, for pomegranates (which I LOVE!) - my trick is to fill a large bowl with water, submerge the pomegranate, then quarter it and pick off the seeds into the water. Dump the whole thing into a strainer, and I'm done - no splash damage! Wastes a little water though... but saves at least the same amount when you try to clean the stains off your clothes, walls, and family members!

    Thanks for the excellent tips on how to eat a pomegrante safely hob:drinker: Ok, I'll definitely now give it a try once again....yes, cleaning the walls and clothes...a bit much:noway: :laugh:

    Your way sounds MUCH easier... appreciate the tips
