How To Eat Healthy & Organic On $7 A Day

$7 a day? That is $210 for 30 days. MOst low income people can only afford half that. So how about under $3 a day?

Cooking your own food is the most healthy. As time goes by fewer and fewer resturants or takeaways are selling healthy food. This is because healthy food takes time to cook and hence it is not as profitable as junk food.

The main problem with cooking your food is time. Time is very important. After a day of work you are tempted to stop by a takeaway or fast food chain and buy food (actually junk food).

Cooking must be a habit. This is the only way how you can live a healthy and fruitful life ;)

My husband and I eat for less than $5 each per day. Possibly less than $4.50. Healthy, not entirely organic, though.

We make several big meals on weekends which are then reheated for dinners and lunches (I have a lunchbox for work). There’s not as much variety within the week, but I try to make the meals very yummy and exciting.

Yes… Yes… Yes… don’t eat or buy processed foods. The marketing industry is FAT (wealthy) from the money that the food industry pumps into them while they pump poisons into us. Know the untold truths. Feel the natural energy that is with in you now, stop clogging up your natural power plant.

Here is your answer to the process. Get plugged in it is a process BUT it is what you are seeking that will change your life for the better…. Move It and feel the difference!

It looks like a healthy plan, but I don’t think it’d be very filling. :/

Continuing with the article and with my above comment I highly recommend reading:

The plan detailed is heavy on items that are known allergens (wheat, eggs, nuts, soy). Even a symptomless food allergy can prevent proper absorption of nutrients, which may lead to hunger and weight gain.

The healthiest and cheapest way to eat is to eat a lot of grains and veggies, a little fruit, and small quantities of very high quality meat.

I’m managing to feed two people and three big dogs (I cook for them) on $120 a week by cooking from scratch and not wasting anything.

Try some older varieties of vegetables that people seem to have forgotten about: cabbage, turnips, parsnips, etc. They pack a lot of flavor and nutrition, and are generally quite inexpensive.

I live in Chicago, and I want to know on what planet an organic apple costs 25 cents! Any tips on finding any of the listed items for close to the listed prices would be much appreciated.

The link to the article no longer works. (What, nobody else reads these things months after they’re written?)

I’m with Chris…the article isn’t THAT old. What happened to permalinks?

You can easily eat for $7 a day. You can view a complete grocery list at http://sillenivek.blogspot.com/ for eating for less than $5. If the amount of meat was lowered in this example, you should be able to go below $4.

Good idea, but I would rather just eat non organic for a more affordable $4 a day
