Eating Healthy on a Budget

If there's one thing I hear over and over it's the phrase "It's so hard to eat healthy without spending a ton of money." And I get it, the thought of eating organic and sustainable can be considered a little pricey when you're comparing organic broccoli at around $3.95 a bunch to regular broccoli at about $2.99. But let's think about it for a moment:

• MEAT IS EXPENSIVE (even if you don't purchase grass-fed or organic) and is one of the leading cause of chronic inflammation which is the undercurrent of all diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and more.
• It's better to eat a clean diet BEFORE you get sick and the doctor changes your diet telling you you in fact need to lose weight, lower your blood pressure, get your blood sugars down, control your diabetes with prescriptions (and so on).
• Diet Coke is the Devil - okay, so is gluten. And these things will increase your cravings, spike your blood sugars and create all kinds of havoc on the body. Oh, and they are highly addictive, just like heroin. 
• What we're eating is what we're teaching our KIDS to eat - We're creating addictions in their tiny bodies that may last a lifetime and perhaps may create longtime illness and disease. I know, that sounds unfair, right?

But these are truths that we need to face. These are the facts and are just a few of the things I will be talking about at this weekends event "Eating Healthy on a Budget" with my good friends at The Nature Gallery Yoga Studio. (click the link above to find out more)

I am deeply passionate about eating healthy and helping others in their journey to a healthier lifestyle and I love sharing knowledge when I'm able. And these items are just a few things I will be covering in this Sunday's upcoming talk and food demonstration along with:

• What happens to your body when you drink a diet coke, in 20 minutes? In 40 minutes?
• What foods cause chronic inflammation?
• How to reverse high blood pressure / diabetes and more with the foods we eat
• How to transition to a cleaner way of eating without dying
• How to eat cleaner / healthier on what you're currently spending on junk

I've even put together a week's worth of healthy meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with the ingredient list to show you that yes, it actually can be done on a budget. 

There is limited space and seats are filling up quickly so don't wait until the last minute, go ahead and reserve your spot today HERE and let's have some fun while learning to eat clean. Oh, and I'll be showing you how to prepare a dish and passing out some healthy grub too. 

If you have questions, go ahead and place them in the comments below or hit me up online. I'm happy to answer. 

Hope to see you there!
