Is the cost of healthy food causing you to go for the cheap boxed crap? Is eating healthy really any more expensive than eating junk? What is the real cost of consuming unhealthy and refined foods? My personal belief is that avoiding healthy foods because of the cost is nothing more than an excuse and a self limiting belief.

If you think that living off of fast food and processed food is cheaper, you’ll be in for a shock. Trust me, when you do an honest comparison of how much a person following an unhealthy processed food diet pays for food with how much all of us health conscious people who consume mostly natural foods, you’ll be shopping the outer isles at the supper market like us.

Not quite convinced? Check this out…

Cost Of Healthy Food vs Unhealthy Food

  • 2 medium size sweet potatoes $1 or… small fries from a fast food joint
  • 2 red peppers $1 or… a can of pop
  • Bowl of oatmeal with fruit & protein powder $2 or… large bag of chips
  • 6 Chicken Breasts $10 or… a sub combo from a fast food joint
  • 18 eggs $3.50 or… a burger from a fast food joint
  • 2 salmon fillets $15 or… large pizza
  • Loaded chicken salad (homemade) $3 or… bag of cookies
  • Large bag of oatmeal $3.50 or… 4 chocolate bars
  • I give some other examples in the video and there are many more examples that I will be showing you. The thing to consider is that when you follow an unhealthy eating program you tend to eat larger quantities of food which ends up costing you much more.

    When you follow a healthy nutrition program you become more aware of your portions and your level of satisfaction or fullness during each meal. Your reasons for eating become much different. You eat because you want to provide your body with the best possible fuel to allow you to be the most energetic, focused, and productive person that you can be.
