Creating a low-budget weight loss diet involves focusing on
affordable, nutrient-dense foods that provide satiety and support weight loss.
Here are some guidelines and a sample meal plan:
Guidelines:
- Whole
Foods: Focus on whole foods rather than processed ones. Whole grains,
legumes, vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins are generally cheaper and
healthier.
- Seasonal
and Local Produce: Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season and
locally grown. They are usually cheaper and fresher.
- Bulk
Buying: Purchase staple items like rice, beans, oats, and frozen
vegetables in bulk.
- Limit Meat Consumption: Incorporate more
plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, and eggs, which are less
expensive than meat.
- Simple
Recipes: Stick to simple recipes with fewer ingredients to keep costs
down.
