List of the Cheapest Healthy Food You Can Buy
I thought I would make a list of 20 of the cheapest healthy food that you can get. This is an excellent start to lowering your food budget.
Here’s the thing, you are going to be focusing on unpackaged foods. And for a good reason or two. Packaged foods – anything that comes in a package, bag, or box, usually have additives and sugars added to them to improve taste.
As you know, sugars and refined carbs are the usual culprit to expanding waistlines.
So without further ado, here is the first 10 cheapest healthy food on the list:

5 Ways to Get a Sexy and Flatter Abs
It is TIME for…
A discussion of the five ways that is keeping you from getting a flatter tummy…
Let’s admit it right now… the sexiest part of a man or woman’s body isn’t the boobies… the butt… arms… or legs…
It is the abs! And I know I’m right when I read the results of polls asking folks this question…
The public has spoken… they want their abs!!
So here are the five ways to achieve a flatter and sexier abs:
1. You have too much body fat… now don’t shoot the messenger… what I just said has more truth than many people realize. You cannot possible have GREAT abs and have flabby arms, butt and legs…
It just isn’t happening… the way it works is the excess fat is proportionally spread all around your body… but the abs is just another “pocket” so to speak for the body to store extra fat.
So if you want to get a sexy and flat abs… then you need to use an overall body fat loss plan to attain it.

Overcoming Fat Loss is Very Simple But Damn Hard to Do
Excuse my “French” in the title… but I wanted to catch your eye and make an emphatic point that the right information to lose your fat is available and it is pretty simple to follow…
But it is really, really hard to do!!
And that’s for sure! Let me tell you a little bit about a NBA basketball player by the name of Michael Sweetney… he has battled weight issues…
NBA fans of the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls are probably familiar with this guy…
You see, he was the 9th overall draft pick in the 2003 NBA draft… by the New York Knicks. Michael was 6′ 8″ and about 270 pounds. He played for New York for two years… sporadically… and then was traded to the Chicago Bulls for… Eddy Curry… another overweight basketball player (sigh).
For some reason, the Chicago Bulls decided not to re-sign Michael Sweetney in 2006… and Michael dropped off the map for the past three years. Rumor was that Michael was told if he didn’t lose weight, his NBA career would be in jeopardy.
And all of a sudden at the Boston Celtics summer camp earlier this year… we see Michael Sweetney playing for the Celtics… and although he has even gained MORE weight. But I could see that he has basketball skills. He is a good rebounder… he has a nice offensive game. And his best attributes was his soft hands. But I’m sure his weight ballooned up above 350 pounds… (see picture below)

Diet is Much More Important than Exercise for Belly Fat Loss
According to this interesting article from ABC News… 80% of what you eat is how your belly is going to look. I have spoken with Vince DelMonte and he says 90%. But it is just a matter of a few percentage points.
This is why I think most people have it wrong what they think it takes to lose belly fat and get a toned and fit body… most folks think that the latest and greatest exercises is going to do it for them…
So they waste a lot of time and energy… practically living in the gym… working their butts off… and predictably… having nothing to show for their tremendous efforts.

Don’t Wait Until You Get a Heart Attack Before Losing the Fat
I thought I’d talk about some real life examples of why it is so important to be fit and lean…
I noticed that the General Manager for the Boston Celtics, Danny Ainge suffered from a heart attack earlier this year… and he is only 50 years old!
And not only that… he used to be an elite NBA basketball player… he was a combo guard that had to be quick and durable. And sadly, when he retired from his athletic pursuits… he let everything else go… and it isn’t just him… when 65% of American Adults are either overweight or obese… it means a lot of people did the same thing as Danny…

That would be whole foods made with a minimum of processing…
In short, if it comes in a can, bottle, bag or wrapper… chances are it is fattening and unhealthy for you.
But don’t take my word for it… you can see that an published author that is also a health expert, say the same thing on Forbes magazine that whole foods made with a minimum of processing is the healthiest foods on Earth.
My favorites are raw nuts, berries, apples, oranges, pears, Quinoa, and grass fed beef.
