get healthy. If your New Year’s resolution this year is to lose weight you will
need to focuses on two crucial aspects. The first is to improve your diet and
the second is to workout regularly. CreditBox has come up with a guide to help

Plan Your Meals
These days it seems most people have become hyper focused on
eating healthy. You hear about all sorts of dietary restrictions such as vegetarians,
vegans, to gluten free. Regardless of the label you fall under you can eat healthy
on a budget. Whenever it comes to spending money it is important to determine a
weekly budget that will go towards purchasing your meals. With your budget set
its time to get to your local grocery store and start planning your meals. We recommend
creating a grocery list using the app Grocery
iQ which alerts you with sale coupons for items on your grocery list. Sticking
to your list will go a long way in eating healthy on a tight budget.
Shopping Tips
The market for grocery stores has become very saturated over
the past few years. Make sure to be compare pricing when picking your go to grocery
store. While stores like Whole Foods have a great selection of organic foods
they have higher prices than other mega grocery chains. Regardless of the chain
you choose to shop at a good tip that will save you money is to purchase generic
brands instead of name brands. Most stores offer a generic replace meant that
is often the same quality as the name brands you are used to.
Getting Active
The second component of getting healthy and fulfilling your
resolution is to get active. Sure, you could join a gym or hire a personal
trainer but that is going to be expensive. There are many fitness alternatives
that will cost you little to nothing and deliver similar results. An easy substitute
is to utilize your neighborhood sidewalks and go for a run rather than playing
to use a treadmill. Another low cost alternative is to build your own at home
gym. Purchasing second hand free weights and a yoga mat will make your workout convenient
and inexpensive.
