Although we’re all about working at at our boot camps in Campbell, San Jose and Los Gatos, we can’t really lose sight of the other key factor in getting results from your Bay Area boot camp experience.

If you’re trying to lose weight and tone up–NUTRITION MATTERS!

One of the biggest myths out there is the myth that eating healthy costs too much

Just the opposite… and I’ll prove it to you in three ways.

#1:  Cash

Here’s some sample figures courtesy of Scott Tousignant’s fitness blog…

:  2 medium size sweet potatoes $1 or… small fries from a fast food joint

:  2 red peppers $1 or… a can of soda from a vending machine

:  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

Not much of a comparison, it is?

Yet the foods on the left would feed a family of two or more for 4-7 days.  The foods on the right? Probably 2-3 days, and you’d be feeling lousy (and bloated).

Tips to make the most expensive part of eating healthy — the cost of quality meats — go further include…

1. Use tofu fillers in chicken and beef recipes. Even if you hate tofu, you can barely taste the difference when combined properly.

2. Buy your meats in bulk online. You can find less expensive grass-fed beef and naturally-raised chicken and have it delivered to you if you live near a large city. If not, check the local farmers.

3. Eat beef and chicken only 3-4 times per week and use black beans with rice or inexpensive tuna for your other days. Try tuna cooked in a skillet with lots of veggies and some olive oil.

Jon Benson’s book The Every Other Day Dietplan (http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/go/boomergals/video3) has over 40 pages of recipes in it to help you eat healthy and cheap… and you can still eat out and consume your favorite foods several times per week.

#2:  Your Health

Do you find yourself buying new, larger clothes every year or two? Are you aware of what you spend with regard to health care costs associated with being just 20 pounds over your ideal weight, let alone more ?  Those blood pressure meds and anti-diabetic meds can begin to add up. How about the time you miss from work with excessive colds?

Eating healthy and taking care of your body adds years to your life, and for the record, the years eating poorly takes away from your life.

Want to add that to your food budget?

#3: The Big Picture

Anyone who has been fit knows the joy it brings… the freedom you feel from wearing whatever you want… the productivity you see from increased energy… the pace at which you move during the day.

Not only are these gifts priceless, but they are also massive cash-savers. Your productivity alone can add thousands to your bottom line each year, well off-setting any costs associated with eating quality food.

The Bottom Line…

Like any good accountant would suggest, you need to look at your ROI (return on in.vest.ment) if nothing else.

What does in.vest.ing in a better body, greater health, and vibrant energy do for your life? How can that actually translate into more in.come AND less expense?

You will be surprised.

Sincerely,

Becky
