I’ve been looking for healthy recipes to lose weight lately, but as I look into them, the ingredients just burn my eyes. They keep talking about avocados, chia seeds, and all that, and everything is so expensive that it really frustrates me. Some people say that it’s not necessary to spend a lot to eat healthily. Girls, do you think it’s possible to stay fit economically, or is it necessary to spend a bit of money?

6I don’t think avocado is essential anyway; you can make pretty healthy meals with regular vegetables too. For instance, I eat tomatoes, cucumbers, and boiled eggs for breakfast, and it keeps me pretty full. There’s no need to spend so much money on them.
But we also need to ask this: Do you really want to eat healthy, or is this just an excuse due to the prices? Because, for example, chips and chocolate are not cheap either, but people buy them. First, habits should be reviewed 
The fundamental aspect of healthy eating is actually to maintain a balanced diet. So if you consume the right amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, there’s no need for superfoods. Basic foods like lentils and bulgur are both inexpensive and nutritious. If you want to lose weight, you also need to consider portion control.
I just got back from the grocery store; I bought some supplies for breakfast. Eggs have gone up to 40 liras, I was genuinely shocked. So I decided to simplify breakfast. If you have any other practical, cheap alternatives, please let me know
Have you tried oatmeal in the mornings? One packet of oats lasts a while; I put in fruits like banana or apple. They say you should add chia seeds and stuff, but it’s really not necessary; it’s quite filling on its own. Plus, it’s very affordable.
Oh come on, there’s a justification for everything in society. Are they pressuring women again with ‘you were supposed to be fit, why aren’t you’? You should think about your own health, where you spend your money is your priority. And look at men, how many of them actually care about eating healthy?
