- Eating healthy is so expensive! Or is it? 9 key life-hacking tips to save big and help your health and your wealth.
We all know we have to eat healthy to be healthy. But eating healthy is so expensive. Right?! Truth is some of the best foods are good for the body and the pocket. here's 9 tips to eat healthy and cheap.
How much would food cost using all of these tips? Get ready for some major savings
tip #1- Be flexible. If kale is too expensive, don’t eat it. Eat your local greens and save. I eat the local cabbage, it's dirt cheap
The famous blue zones with the centenarians vary in the details but the pattern is similar across. Lots of unprocessed plants. focus on the big picture and save.
tip #2-legumes. at around a dollar a pound, they’re a dirt cheap source of protein. Some people want to eat healthier but not eliminate meat. doable. Diet is not all or nothing.
What about prices? Average cost of a pound of beans/lentils in the US is $1.45. Matching for protein, red meat is ~4-5x more expensive than beans.
Veggie burgers and processed soy can cost as much or more than meat. Beans and lentils deliver the biggest health bang for your buck
Let’s lower those prices more. tip #3: bulk. Lentils at 72 cents if you buy in bulk. Red lentils, 64cents/lb. Barley, 87cents/lb. dirt cheap. oats for 90cents/lb. that’s 22cents/cup. breakfast of champs for 22 cents. flaxseed at a dollar a lb. $27 dollars for a bag that’ll last you for years. 1 tbspoon = less than 2 cents. with the 22 cents for the oatmeal that’s a 24 cent breakfast. Pay a quarter, still get change
Who said healthy food is expensive?
Why buy at whole foods and leave your paycheck there when you can get it almost for free.
tip #4: frozen vegetables aren’t worse than fresh. frozen mixed veggies, $1/lb. broccoli, $1.30/lb, corn $1, spinach $1.30/lb
it’s even cheaper since there’s no waste. No money wasted
tip #5: choosing where we shop saves big bucks. I can find fruit for 3x price difference. In LA, hispanic supermarkets are very cheap. Local farmer’s markets or fairs are cheap
tip #6: forget organic. organic has a reputation for being healthier, but is it?jury is still out on whether organic provides any actual health benefit. if money is a problem, don’t sweat it, organic is probably not a huge factor
Benefits of plant foods far outweigh any potential concern of pesticides and organic
tip #7: water. Americans spend more money on soft drinks than any other food item. $850/y for average household
You can buy cheap chemical tests for common tap water contaminants. Home filter probably pays for itself in weeks or months with what you save from water bottles.
Bottled water: an insane business model. You're selling something that’s essentially free.
tip #8: make your own milk. soak, grind, filter. almond milk is $2-4 bucks in the US, if you buy almonds in bulk you can make it for $1.50
oatmilk can be even cheaper
tip #9: batch cooking. buy in bulk, batch cook and freeze. Saves money and time. The habit to cook more at home saves big cash and does wonders for your health. Eating out of restaurants on a daily basis can be really rough on the health and the wealth
How cheap can we go for a healthy meal?
Bulk Lentils 72cents/lb, that’s 18cents for 1 cup, spinach 1.30/lb so a cup would be 33cents. Sweet potato is less than a dollar a pound so 30cents per item. So we’re at 81cents per person. Let’s say condiments double the price, that’s $1.62 per person. Family of 4 dines for $6.48. healthy foods are expensive?!?

Since I’ve turned non-processed vegetarian, I’ve have many people ask me how I can afford it and feed my family of 5 their usual meals. I’m so glad you are explaining this. A pound of beans lasts me longer then a pound of chicken too! Really, its more cost effective to eat healthy ❤️
good to hear it matches your experience! feel free to share other tricks you figured out that I may have missed!
BRO IS SAVING ME MONEY IN 2024 🗣️🔥❗️❗️❗️
When i was a kid, i used to wish i lived in the US when i saw students in movies being served fried, sausages, and other fast foods in schools. It seemed like heaven because meat, junk food and processed foods are expensive in my country. As an adult, i'm glad that healthy and whole foods are way cheaper in my country compared to processed and fast foods
Being unhealthy is expensive!
yes. esp. if we consider the long run
What eating healthy is expensive
@@EthanMedlen-pr3rrfor example if you eat Macdonald’s every day for 20€?
@@EthanMedlen-pr3rrit’s expensive because it causes you to be unhealthy which means you have to see the drs more which is expensive.
Yes
'Legumes are almost too good to be true"
That's how I feel about it as well. They are even amazing for the environment, since they have natural fertilizing properties and they don't need much water!
10. Get a garden. I know not everyone has a yard, but they have window containers, indoor containers, all sorts of stuff. And seeds are free in the foods you already eat!
Mm yes but actually no. You would definitely save money, but it requires time. Time to learn how to do it and also maintenance. If people are struggling with money working those hours would allow you to buy much more food that you can produce. If the problem is that you don't have enough work, then totally. Just my opinion
Awesome! I used to think the whole vegan thing was expensive, til my vegan cousin pointed out that it was only expensive because I spent 0 time in the kitchen.
Yes!! That’s so true. It’s time cost investment for healthy foods. Too bad those who are super busy and don’t have time to cook have to be on an unhealthy diet.
I love traveling but that’s the down side. No control on healthy food availability in North America. Asia has healthy foods everywhere and is more convenient:)
Beans and lentils can be used to make tasty healthy homemade dips and burgers. Occasionally I eat processed veggie burgers and sausages, in a rush. I still think they are healthier than animal products.
Appreciate your content Gil, the plant based community needs more realistic and no bs influencers like you. This is one of the most concise, detailed videos about food budgeting I've ever seen. This would take me hours to put together, keep up the good work!
thanks, appreciate it!
One of the best nutrition videos on the internet.
It was pretty incredible timing for me to eat almost entirely plant based. Everyone complaining about their grocery bills around me but seemingly not connecting the dots to just how much they're spending on meat. They often ask me how I can afford to eat fresh produce and I have to give them a reality check that it's honestly dirt cheap. Unless you're eating 90% fruits and leafy greens, it's very affordable. Rice, beans and lentils are nutritious and soooooo cheap. They form the staples to which I add vegetables to bulk meals up and space out over long periods of time. I still eat salads but most of my greens are cooked in stews. Plus the best benefit is just how long they last in the fridge compared to meat products. I have much much less waste. I also have to remind people that frozen veggies are a thing and totally useful especially in off-seasons. They're often cheaper too. Eating healthy doesn't have to break the bank.
I live in Israel and I've been on a plant based diet since the beginning of the Coronavirus. I have always wanted to, so when Corona hit, I knew I had to do it. I use several of the tips that you mentioned. Water has always been easy for me. Maybe it has to do with the hot climate, but I can't possibly drink anything else other than water. Not even coffee or tea. Legumes are super cheap here, so I use it for most of my cooking. Plus, most vegetables are locally grown and are cheaper too. Wow, I feel very lucky and grateful all of a sudden. Perspective.
To save everyone some time? I went to the bulk foods page linked. I was going to buy 25 lb. Red lentils for $23 something. I got to checkout and it was going to be over $45 for shipping (in US)
SO GLAD I FOUND THIS VIDEO!!! AND THIS CHANNEL!!!! I cannot believe you don't have 1 million subs yet
Great video! Good advice! And the comments from the viewers are good too. I did want to mention one though- maybe someone else has mentioned it already (I haven’t read all of the comments yet)…if someone is finding it hard to afford groceries, buying in bulk may seem like an impossibility even if it’s cheaper in the long run. For instance, spending $25 for 25 lbs of lentils…it’s hard to think of spending that much money on a single ingredient even if it is a large amount of that 1 food. If it’s replacing meat entirely, it might seem more doable, but in that case the cook of the family will probably need to be prepared with a lot of really amazing recipes for it, or the family will get sick of the same thing on repeat. There are already so many different ways to fix meat that we’re familiar with; unfortunately most of us haven’t had that experience of variety with beans/legumes. I do think that for health and money your suggestions were excellent though. I guess we all just need to do our research for legume recipes that are really delicious and dive in. 😁
So true abut location! When i lived in Asia, the lentils, beans, bread and oats were imported and cost double the amount as Europe. BUT the Tofu, Tempeh, Rice, Spinach, Peppers and Tomatoes were about 1/10 the cost ! So I had much much less beans and lentils and instead more tempeh & rice etc (but still fit the other foods in just in smaller amounts)
didn't notice that!!
Sweet potatoes are waaaay more expensive here and the price varies a lot. I buy 5 a week and I can pay anywhere from 6 to 9 dollars. I still consider that they overall price of the meal, with the legumes and vegetables, is acceptable.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Wow thanks, Dr.
Never found this channel before but I subbed immediately after the uncensored Chapelle clip, in the intro no less. Respect.
ALDI has the best prices out there. Costco has some good deals with the Kirkland brand. And of course Walmart. Whole Foods prices are ridiculous. Mom&Pop health food stores have the highest prices out of all.
Awesome video. You have very engaging presentation style, and I appreciate that you encourage people to take small, doable steps and substitute a few meatless days for beans even if they aren't comfortable going full plant based right from the start.
Frozen mixed veg and frozen berries. All the nutrients and ready to eat within 5 mins!
True Doc Gil thank you again for this very insightful and practical solution to us struggling to keeping plant based
Perfect as always!! 👏🏻👏🏻
I love this channel..! Should be a required viewing for all families switching to a healthier lifestyle..! Thanks Doc.
I'm with you ;)
Hi Dr Carvahlo great you tube videos " Come on down car salesman" 😃😅💗
Yes perhahs 2 days meat free days
Frozen foods for me
Less waste
Cheaper than fresh
Eat put offseason
Hey oh
Keep safe&well 🙃😅
Thanks for the video.
Always interesting, thank you.
I thought about it like this. Would I rather spend my money on healthy foods, or on insulin. I like to buy fruits and berries that can be kind of expensive. But it's all cheaper than the pharmaceuticals I'll have to buy in addition to the ultra-processed foods I was eating. I realized McDonalds was costing me over $50 for my family of four recently. That's a lot of beans, lentils, peas, and produce.
Love the energy and enthusiasm! Obrigado 🙏🏼 voce tem me ajudado muito com minha própria alimentação e oque aprendo passo pro meus clients! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Watching your video inspires me to eat healthy and stop giving myself excuses to eat junk food.
I appreciate this page
Thank you very much my man, beans is something that I never would have thought about. I've been trying to save money and eat healthy at the same
Thank you Bigtime
Awesome!!
Thank you enjoyed this interesting channel
Dr. Li is concerned about the effect of chemicals on the microbiome eating non-organic produce. Thank you.for your great advice .
Excelente vídeo, Gil. Brasileiro aqui que segue o seu canal.
Once I moved to the USA, I always thought that eating healthy was expensive -back home eating healthy is always cheaper than eating junk food. I guess on this video you proved that my belives were wrong :)
Costco is always a great option to buy things in bulk and the membership always pays itself - especially for people which a family,.
Black beans at Walmart was $0.72 per 15.25 ounce can. I consume them daily. They have with or without salt. The price went up recently I believe to about $0.98 at some stores, though. I am going to stay at a small town over 100 miles from the nearest Walmart and I'm getting a very large quantity of whole wheat pasta and beans, and several boxes of tea bags. I can eat the cost of the fresh stuff I consume. Also, the sauerkraut at Walmart is cheap and super tasty imho but has lots of salt.
I find it easier to eat the same thing most of the time. I change it up sometimes when I have a craving like for whole wheat bread.
Great video! I've been saying this for years! As a social worker who works with a homeless population who are on food stamps, my experience with my clients (and with people outside of work) is for many, the price factor isn't the obstacle, its all the other reasons outside of health that they eat (combined with the myths about protein needs). I work at an inpatient facility where we take clients out and they're not ordering off the dollar menu at fast food places! And the processed "food" they buy at the market is not less than the healthier alternatives!
yeah, we got a lot of different 'grievances' in the FB thread, social barriers was one of the main ones and we'll address that soon too
Thanks again for a great video. Sensible, balanced, evidence-based advice as always 👍. Something we need more of these days. This one of my favourite videos of yours. People often like to have a nosey in my Tupperware. The question often pops up, "but Tom doesn't it cost a lot of money to eat healthy like that?". I can't help but chuckle and tell them my food shop is half what it used to be. Even before adopting some of these principles, I ate healthy with no indulgences like soft drinks. I can't even comprehend how much some people could save with some of these excellent tips. Keep the great videos coming Gil
I remember my first day at work, I showed up with my tupperwares. questions followed (genuine curiosity). coworkers were eating out of vending machines. a couple weeks in, some of them started showing up with tupperwares too! :) sometimes all it takes is seeing an alternative with your own eyes
Good advice doc
Another great video!
I follow a lot of these tips. So awesome! My new fav is the almond milk and saving the rest for almond meal... one thing I learned to do a long time ago was to save all the peals and leaves and stems and everything I wasn’t going to cook off a veg and put it in my freezer safe container (gallon freezer ziplock or Tupperware)and when that container is full, throw it in the crockpot and make homemade broth. This obviously works for bone stocks as well. I haven’t bought any broths in So many years.. I’m even talking garlic skins and onion skins etc... saves a lot over time 🙂
My favorite budget tip too! Broth is so much more flavorful than water in so many recipes, but buying it is outrageously pricey... IF you can even find a decent, non-animal version! I save ALL my veggie and even some fruit scraps until I have a full load for the instant pot, then freeze some of it in quart containers until the next batch. Nothing unwanted added, and it's FREE! (Then I toss the cooked solids into the compost pile for free fertilizer.) Speaking of onion and garlic skins, I saved up a bag of dry skins, toasted them on low in the oven until very brittle, tossed them in the blender and made a free tasty seasoning powder. Recently a local farm blessed us with a load of very ripe red peppers I had to use up fast, so I roasted a bunch and used the charred peels I'd normally discard in the same way. Amazing mixed with the other skins too!
Walmart has, what I believe, are great prices and a decent selection of Organic Produce. They have an expanding selection of organic/vegan. Careful! Organic and Vegan do not automatically equal healthy - read the ingredient and nutrition label.
Going keto saves me a ton of money. I eat 1 simple meal a day and have gotten off all of my expensive prescriptions.
It was the "You're gonna need a bigger kitchen" line for me lol.
I love your sense of humour!! 😄 Thank you for another great video. 👍
Oh thank you!
Amazing advice as always! I will be trying all of these out including the lentil Dahl 😆
What a practical video that can help you kick start your health journey today. Thank you so much for this cheap video… wait.. I mean used car sales man video. Umm you know what I mean. I appreciate these amazing videos you produce! Ohh that helps us save money! Oh boy that came out wrong
I have started eating vegetarian at home and saving meat for nights out. Plus very rarely eating veggies that are not frozen or canned. It’s not hard to keep things affordable this way
Straight truth right here ✊✊✊
Excelente!!!! Me anima a seguir haciendo mi propia comida
si tu puedes!!!! :)
Very good tips !
Some forgotten meat parts like chicken stomachs are very cheap, low in fat (below 1% in mass) and rich in collagen protein which can has some benefits over regular meat without collagen. Requires some pre-marinating to soften it, but tastes good.
I have found that organic vegetables and fruits are better quality than regular types in my shops. Why? Because in most cases, organic are grown in my local area, while conventional are often just covered in wax and imported from foreign countries at the opposite end of the world. Those importend vegetables and fruits are tasteless.
I agree that you don't need organic label to have good quality products if you know that it's grown in local area.
This was a winner again! 😁👍 By the way, loved the cow! 😅
Good advice. I apply several of these tips myself. And I buy in bulk when there's an extra good price. A few weeks ago my local store that is usually really cheap anyway, had big bags of bananas and tomatoes (not mixed together) that were starting to go bad. I came home with about 8 kilograms of produce for about 2 euros. I froze some of it. But then I made a bunch of banana breads and a big pot of tomato and red lentil soup. I don't know the cost per meal for that, but it was really cheap!
But putting fruit in water is, in my opinion, disgusting. I'd much rather just drink the water and eat the fruit.
Great tips, most of it applies even to me and I live in Norway, where EVERY diet is expensive. Beans are for sure cheaper than meat, though as you said the 'fake' meats are insanely expensive (import cost on top of 'specialist' food). We have fantastic tap water though, no need to buy. I can't remember where I heard it, but remember that Evian spelled backwards is naive... :D
haven't been to Norway but I hear prices are insane...
Two other things that I would like to point out as far as drinking more water, one is addressing the filtration system and using a reusable bottle and tap water. A reverse osmosis drinking water filtration system is relatively cheap, easy to install and easy to maintain. Especially if you drink a lot of water. In my household there are seven people. Including myself, two adults five children a dog and a parakeet. For what it would cost us to get bottled water for a month we bought the filtration system and for what a week of bottled water costs I can perform the annual filter element maintenance.
But what about the fizz? Something else to get me to drink more water is either plain seltzer water with fruit added to it or naturally essenced seltzer water. It gives you the satisfying fizz of soda without the sugar and chemicals of soda.
great tips, David!!!
Does organic vary much between countries IE in the UK? I get inflammation from non organic vegetables but not organic ones
Hey doc! Do vegetables or grains lose nutrients if we pulverize them? (Like in shakes or soups)? Thank you for your time.
I had to have two stents put in due to plaque buildup in my arteries- likely due to my lifelong sugar addiction. That cost me $5,000. That buys a lot of organic broccoli.
The ice-cold everyday helper is one of the biggest electricity guzzlers in the household. An average freezer with a volume of 200 liters consumes around 120 to 230 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year.
Great content man. Super nice and goes simple!
One question, how do you keep your pronunciation living in Portugal?
Congrats
lived in the US 17 years (and still do most of the time) :)
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and feel better than ever! We are all about healthy aging. For us eating a whole-food plant-based diet was the key to our reversing life-threatening illnesses. Cancer and myasthenia gravis. We are doing research for our new healthy-aging advice YT channel to inspire others. Learned a lot here! Thank you.
great to hear, inspiring!!! sounds like you guys are rocking!! :)

Opinions on risks from tea? Inflammation from sulphites? Tannins blocking iron absorption? Inhibiting enzymes that break down histamine?
That map of the Blue Zones is interesting. With the exception of Costa Rica, you could draw a straight horizontal line from California, through the Meditteranean and onto Japan. I know California has a Meditteranean climate and a quick search revealed Japan is Meditteranean and Sub-Tropical - Wow! Never knew that. How interesting! Maybe it is the lovely warmth and sunshine that is good for the local foods and local people. All these areas are also coastal and likely eat a lot of sea food. It would be interesting to look at people and diets in the southern Mediterranean areas, such as Chile, South Africa and South Australia. Another thing all these places have in common is the climate is perfect for growing grapes for wine. Lots of wine is consummed in these areas. Studying S. Australia would be interesting as the climate is Mediterranean but immigration is diverse, and it would be interesting to see which immigrant groups live the longest, and do they home cook and stick to their cuisine of origin etc. I have family in S. Australia and my Aunty is 87. The longest lived of all my relatives who have stayed in the UK. This year I went to Sardinia, we drove up into many of the the mountain villages and yes saw lots of really elderly people up there. Still living a very simple, basic, dare I say it, peasant lifestyle. I guess walking up and down the hills keeps them fit too. Plus going to church - lots of churches there. It is also a very beautiful island with mountains in the East and incredibly beautiful beaches. Eating out at tourist places wasn't cheap though. But the food market in Cagliari, the capital city, was amazing and wine was so cheap. I think it is all about sitting down and enjoying good food and a drink in a relaxed way and not rushing around. I plan to go back again next year as it was so lovely and visit another area - for research purposes of course :)
YES!!!!! This has to be a top 3 question I get asked, and I tried to make a video on it myself, but this one is MUCH better!
These points are spot on! Admittedly, I was on the organic band-wagon when I was in school and early out of it, and I stress about it MUCH less now with all the conflicting evidence on nutrient density. Personally, I'd be more concerned with the pestcide issues, but even then it isn't a truly clear picture, at least for me.
But so spot on with the trends vs. specific foods, and I love the references to the Blue Zones. It's pretty much the first book I recommend to anyone who is interested in this stuff!
what are the other top2 Qs?
@Nutrition Made Simple! Well...
1) how do I make WFPB meals taste good? (hence the complete shift in my channel content 😂. Which I've realized now I'm getting more questions about EVOO, and things of that nature. So I say a little and usually recommend your video. This stuff really comes full circle.)
2) How do I find the time to cook? This one I always find the tougher of the two to answer because it has be individualized based on each person's schedule. I know you've talked a great deal about batch cooking, which I am a huge fan of myself! It basically got me through chiro school! But I think there's a deeper part to this that gets into psychology, mindset, motivational factors, etc. Love to hear your thoughts on that!
Brilliant round up - have me thinking about being better with plant based milks now!
in the US they've actually gotten much cheaper. In Europe they're still much more expensive than cow milk
@@NutritionMadeSimple Yes, am based in Europe. Plus side is there is so much choice!
The plant based milk version is much more expensive than the conventional ones but I think instead of buying steaks or meat and replacing that with legumes. It should off set the costs! The bill should be relatively similar costing at the end of trip
For me, I live in Germany so most of food are cheap surprisingly but when it comes to NUTs, they are just so expensive XD whether they are organic or not like cashews. :'( and I eat them a lot so I anyway buy it but whenever I buy let's say each bag of almonds, cashews, walnuts and pumpkin seeds (each bag vary from 150-250g) and on that day, my grocery cost surges, haha.
I found pretend meats absolutely revolting. I’m fine with legumes and oats, even better with chia seeds.
lol the whole foods bashing 5:45
Lol, I actually do (did) buy my red lentils (to make missir wat, yea Ethiopian food!) from Whole Foods, mostly because they are not available in my regular closer grocery store. I should have known to look online :)
Got my follow from the dave clip alone 😂✊🏿
. Try Alpino's muesli, It's a wholesome delight that's ready to enjoy straight out of the pack. It is truly one of the best muesli options available!
Frozen vegetables can be affordable, as well as dried beans.
I just cooked a pot of pintos with fresh garlic 1 chili and fresh cumin and celtic salt to taste
Yum
What about companies possibly putting additives into the prepackaged frozen veggies and fruits? Could you do a video on what and how to look for signs of whether the frozen food was literally just the frozen food or had a bunch of sugar, salt, other stuff I don’t know, or process stuff added? I want to eat healthy, but if the prepackaged veggies and fruits have added sugars or something else I wouldn’t think or know to watch out for, it would ruin the attempt at eating healthy for cheaper.
Fastest and cheapest plant-based milk: Add 1tbsp smooth, plain peanut butter + a pinch of salt + 2 cups water in a food processor (like magic bullet) and spin for 1 min. Let settle. Separate liquid in a bottle. Here is your milk.
He's too good to be true.
Beans are cheaper than meat. Oatmeal is cheaper than sugary cereals. Fresh potatoes are cheaper than frozen French fries. A bag of brown rice is cheaper than a box of Rice-A-Roni. I'm not sure why people think eating healthier is more expensive. Maybe if they only think organic is healthy (and I'm a bit skeptical about that, as you are). Yes, an organic head of lettuce costs twice as much as a non-organic head of lettuce. But a salad made from a non-organic head of lettuce is still healthier than a hot dog, and probably cheaper. Maybe if they are eating meat-based diet (low carb, paleo, etc) they think a healthier meal is more expensive? I'll agree a pound of wild caught Alaskan salmon is much more expensive than a pound of ground beef. But you don't need either of those. There are plenty of less expensive fish or poultry options where you can get your low-carb animal proteins with less unhealthy fats. It's really not that hard.
Does anybody know the name of the song from the end of the video?
It all boils down to perspective....I am sure many people are aware of this common sense, But conveniently avoiding it and falls prey to commercials...I dont see a value for all the education we have had in all this human existence!!!
The first time I made oat milk I couldn't believe it. The cost of a liter is just a few pennies worth of oats; the whole process took a few minutes, and the taste was incredibly flavorful. Oat milk is also way healthier than cow's milk.
Hey, I gave options to somebody about healthy eating on a budget (beans/lentils in bulk, frozen/canned vegetables/fruits, oatmeal, and whole grains) but this person says that these foods contain gmos, have preservatives and other chemicals. How big of a deal is it?
Oatmeal made with water and some raisins for sweetness tastes almost as good as with milk, for those who want to avoid milk
I'm surprised you didn't talk about cashew milk. You only need to soak for 3-4 hours and you don't have to strain it! Really good advice though on everything else!
What song do you use for the outro here?
Food prices are so much cheaper in the uk, beef is £5 a kilo/$2.5 a pound mixed veg is like 80p a kilo/40 cents a pound
frozen fruit is nice but I eat my oatmeal warm and it's not really the best combo so I prefer unfrozen for this reason.
The ever expanding use of glyphosate as a "desiccant" raises serious questions about the generous servings of Roundup in non-organic cereal grains, beans, and legumes.
Organic does not mean pesticide/herbicide-free. It only means those toxins have to be made from organic compounds as opposed to synthetic compounds. I would guess "natural" toxins are no better for your gut health than synthetic ones. Poison is poison.
without a doubt plant based whole foods are far cheaper than other options.
This is a great video and I just wanted to say I will enjoy my bbc meal 👍
Great, but time consuming way to preserve veggies: batch pickling them...
If you have more time, ferment them (make sauerkraut or kimchi)
But this is very time consuming
Its either time or money. You gotta pay either way. So, taking the time to cook meals will save money. But, its hard when time is scarce. Thats why its better to have a community to help with meal prep, if you dont have a family. Everyone has to chip in to make the shit work.
Mudas a tua forma de comer quando estas em Portugal? Quase todos os pratos tipicos conteem carne, enchidos, queijos e bacalhau.... Tens algun prato tradicional que mais gostas? Abraco
em casa como identico ao que faco nos EUA. quando vou comer fora acontece-me o mesmo que nos EUA, as pessoas escolhem sempre restaurantes todos 'all natural' (sem eu dizer nada)...
@@NutritionMadeSimple Assim é fácil então. De facto acho a fruta e a verdura portuguesa de ótima qualidade. Parabéns para o excelente canal! Se fizesse um igual em português acho que teria muito sucesso no mundo lusófono também.
Peas, lentils, and beans are even cheaper at the feed and grain store. You may have to pick out a few rocks.
