Lifestyle: Poor Girl Diet Tips

It's easy to lose weight when you can't really afford to eat. By the same token, the common misconception is that anyone who is starving is underweight. Many people can't understand how someone living on food stamps can be morbidly obese, and it comes from the fact that it is more expensive to eat healthy.

Everything has its poisonous qualities: canned foods have BPAs, but the jury is still out on whether or not BPAs are the new aspartame or saturated fats - dangerous but ubiquitous.

The following tips are when you want to be better nourished on a low budget.

• Tip 1: you will save money by snacking less
• Invest in filling meals so that you don't become hungry
• Tip 2: drink more water
• Every diet says this, but in the time that I have increased the amount of water I drink daily, I've lowered my A1C, lost weight, and I'm hungry less. 
• Tip 3: supplements
• Omega-3 is important to combat when one indulges in sugar. Fish oil isn't tasty, but it gives you all the benefits of eating fish without having to buy fish. It also helps with anxiety; the by-product of having to wondering "how am I going to eat today and still be able to eat tomorrow?"
• Tip 4: frozen vegetables
• If you're worried about BPAs, invest in frozen vegetables. They're a bit more expensive than canned vegetables, but there's more variety in frozen vegetables, and the gamma radiation compliments the freezer burn.
