Do you also wonder about how to eat healthy, how to lose weight, and how to do
it all on a low budget? Well wonder no more because in this video I'm going to
share with you my 7 tips (not 8). 7 tips on how to do all that. So stay tuned.
Hi everyone, I'm Roswitha from RoswithaHerman.com and each week, actually each
Thursday, I'm gonna teach you how to be the most successful woman you know.
Why do you think so many people struggle with weight loss? Reason number one
because they have the wrong goal. You see the goal should never be to lose weight
but to be healthy because when you're healthy
not only you look good, you feel good, you have all the energy, you're vibrant,
you're positive, you're more successful, but you also lose weight by default. Why
you might say? Because losing weight occurs naturally until you hit your
ideal body shape and size, which by the way might not be the one that you're
dreaming of because you might not be genetically programmed to look like
Heidi Klum, or I don't know who else, but you don't have to because each of us has
this amazing unique body shape and body size and we should all learn to love it
more. The objective here is to be healthy because by being healthy you're
going to lose all the extra weight way easier and you're going to keep it that way
you're going to keep your ideal body weight you're not going to struggle to go up and
down up and down because that's why most people struggle with, because they always
up and down because they don't have the right goal which is? To be healthy! YES,
you're right! The second reason why people don't lose weight is because they
believe food is so expensive. Healthy food is so expensive. What do you believe?
I'm really curious. Do you believe eating healthy is expensive? If you do, drop me a
comment below and just say YES or NO because I'm really curious to know what
you think. Because what I think is that you can totally eat healthy, it's very
cheap actually, you can eat healthier cheaper than going to the fast food
stores or the fast food places. How? Well let me teach you my seven tips on how I
do it and how I always did it because even if my life has changed I'm still
frugal and I still respect money and I love to find great bargains. This is
just how I am. Tip number one: check your stores for
discounts for sales. Okay I know it sounds super obvious but I'm not meaning
about all the sales I'm talking about fruits and veggies because those are
very healthy for you and those are the things people usually avoid because
they're too expensive. So what I want you to do each week is to check for the week
ahead, like on Sunday, check which fruits and which veggies are on
sale the next week and compare prices with other stores so you know where to
go to buy what you need because whatever is reduced
it means it's in season that's why it's reduced because they don't have to pay
shipping to ship it from whatever country to bring it on your table
maybe they grow it locally. That's why they can cut expenses so it's cheaper
for you to buy. That's the first tip! Look for that! So whenever you're buying
fruits and veggies that are in season then you can save a lot of money because
they're gonna be cheaper so again don't buy Tomatoes
the wintertime because it's going to be super expensive because nobody grows
tomatoes in the wintertime so they would have to ship it from
someplace warm and then you're going to have to pay that extra money. So don't
eat tomatoes in the winter time, in the winter time you're going to eat tomato
paste, tomato juice, etc. but not the tomato itself. Also don't buy
like for example avocado. Avocado is not a year-round food because
it's only for the season so whenever you're going to see see that the price of
avocado is going to be lower go and eat avocado and then just enjoy it for a
month and then you're going to buy something else. I always buy in season
meaning I'm not going eat the same thing all year round because it will be super
expensive so I'm eating whatever it's in season that month, or that period of
time and I'm just enjoying it because it's going to be cheaper for me to buy it and my
body doesn't need that fruit or that veggie all year long, it needs variety so
by doing this you're going to be very very healthy and you're going to experiment with
so many other fruits and veggies instead of just going for your regular ones
because you're scared to try anything else. That was my second tip. My third tip
is pre-plan your weekly meals and have a grocery shopping list. And I'm gonna talk
more about grocery tips in another video so make sure you check that one, but
until then what I want you to do is on Sunday or Saturday just sit down for a
couple of minutes with your family or alone and
just think "what do I feel like eating?" and have a plan for your breakfast. You
can have a protein shake which is easy to make and fast, you can have eggs with something
(again very fast). Know what you want to have for breakfast, then know
what you want to have for lunch or dinner. Maybe you just want a salad for lunch
or maybe you want a sandwich. Well what would you like on your sandwich? You need to
buy a bread, you need to buy tomatos, you need to buy some salad, whatever you need
just make a list. Then for dinner, what do you
feel like eating? Do you feel like eating pasta, do you feel like eating rice with
veggies, do you feel like eating (I don't know) a stew? Just put down all the
things that you feel like eating then check, you know the first step, check
for sales to see what's in season, and then also use Google or YouTube to type
in to look for recipes that would have whatever veggies and fruits are in
season. So for example, if I'm craving pasta with veggies I'm going to look now to
see what veggies are on sale this month, the month of July, and
I'm going to see that maybe they have on sale eggplant and zucchini are on
sale now or I don't know what else (asparagus I think it's on sale now) so
I'm just going to go and I'm going to look for recipes like pasta with asparagus, pasta with
eggplant, pasta with zucchini, and see what pops up and then I'm going to (if I
don't have all the ingredients at home) I'm just going to put them, all the extra ingredients
that I need on my grocery shopping list - I know exactly what I'm buying I know
exactly what I'm going to be cooking. This was my third tip. Tip number four: Read the
labels! My advice: don't buy too many prepackaged foods just buy the fruit
itself or the veggie itself especially again when we're talking about spring,
summer, autumn when there are a lot of fruits and veggies depending on where
you live. Winter time, not so much so then we need to be smart and just buy
prepackaged foods and when you do buy prepackaged foods make sure they have
five or less ingredients. Why? Because usually if they have more than five
ingredients they're going to have a lot of weird words that you don't understand
and if you don't understand what they mean it means that your body will
probably have a harder time processing them so don't buy anything that has too
many ingredients that you cannot spell or you don't understand. Also look for
prepackaged foods that do not have sugar added or any sugar substitute or if
you're gluten-free that they don't have any wheat or you know gluten
added to it or if you're lactose intolerant again look for things that
have no lactose in. Just check the label, it is so important. I actually saved 50% on
buying corn, like canned corn, because I checked the label because the big
brand that you will see advertised everywhere had sugar added and I knew I
don't want corn to have sugar added (corn is already sweet) so then I took all the
labels, like I took all the brands on the shelf, and I checked all the ingredients
for this canned corn and actually the cheaper brand, the store-bought brand, had
no sugar added and I bought that one. It was 50% cheaper than the big brand, so
that's how you save a lot of money by just reading the labels. Tip number five:
know what you need to buy organic and what you do it to buy organic. Do I'm
sure you probably know that in order to eat healthy you should buy all your
fruits and veggies organic, like without pesticides, without being GMO, and
all that things. Which is good and it's actually very accurate. BUT not all the
fruits and veggies need to be organic, so I'm going to show you twelve
fruits and veggies that you do need to buy organic because they do have a lot of
pesticides sprayed on and I'm gonna tell you also twelve fruits and veggies and
(also in the description below) that you do not need to buy organic because they
have something that you peel and you don't eat that so even if they might be
sprayed on you're not gonna eat that thing, so again this will save you a lot
of money. For example, bananas, you do not need to buy organic bananas because we only
need what's inside a banana so again save your money and buy like
for example, organic strawberries, because those are very contaminated so
those you might need a good supplier for. Bananas not so much, so go buy some cheap bananas, they are
good for you. Tip number six: know how to store your foods. Again a lot of people
get disappointed because their foods go bad super fast and they feel like they
wasted money or they're just throwing away food when other people are
starving in the world. So knowing how to store them is super critical for saving
your money. First, some easy easy tips. If you want to
know more about this, please let me know in a comment below, and I will do another
video on exactly what fruits to store and how and what veggies, but for now
just know this: in your fridge always store things that have similar colors.
For example your greens with your greens, your reds with your reds. Do not
mix and match, do not put everything in the same basket because they will go bad
faster. I have two containers in my fridge and in one I always store things
that are green or white and in the other one I just store
carrots, tomatoes, things that are red or orange
you know that these things I store in the other container. Also, not everything needs
to be stored in the fridge. For example, tomatoes don't. So bananas and tomatoes
and avocados I leave them on my counter but I don't put them together. So bananas
I put them with lemons. Why? Because they have the same color.
Avocado I put it alone because if I put avocado with tomatoes avocado will go
bad faster, and tomatoes again I leave that by themselves because otherwise
they will darken my bananas, or you know get my bananas spoiled. So you need to
color coordinate. This would be like the easiest tip you can do and if you
want more this again I can do another video
And lastly tip number seven on how to eat healthy lose weight and do it on a
budget is knowing how to combine your food because otherwise you're going to have
a very poor digestion, and your body will be without energy and you gain fat and you're not going to feel good
so we don't want that, right? We want to know how to combine effectively. So don't
combine the fruits with your foods just eat fruits as they are. That's going to be
the best thing ever. I know people are showing a lot of
recipes where you combine the fruits with salads and stuff
Don't. Try not to. Try to eat fruits as they are. Second don't combine starches
with proteins, for example meat with potatoes.
NO. NO. Combine the meat with salads, something green, it's going to be so much
better for your digestion. It's super easy. And the last tip is don't drink
with your meals because when you drink with your meals you're going to dilute your
digestive liquids in your stomach and that's only going to make for a poor
digestion so don't drink with your meals drink 30 minutes before you're going to eat
or 30 minutes after you've ate. This way you're going to ease your digestion a lot
So that was my tip, if you want to know more about combining let me know in
comment below and I'm gonna do a whole new video on exactly what to combine with
what so you know exactly what I mean. So this was all, these were my seven tips on
how to stay healthy and eat healthy, how to lose weight because if you're healthy
you can lose weight by default and, how to do it all on a very low budget
