[...] Dylan and I made a conscious decision to stop eating out as often – more of a money issue rather than health issue, but it contributed. [...]

Ugh, I’m pretty much the exact same way. I live right in the heart of my city’s Little Italy, and ten minutes away from Chinatown, so there’s way too many temptations to just say fuck it and get takeaway or eat out.

I’ve made a similar goal, though, and I intend on cooking my every meal this week, save for my little “reward” next Sunday night for attempting to be frugal :P.

It’s awesome that the two of you are working together to fix your eating habits. Sounds like you’re getting a pretty good deal on the fruit and veggies!

Woah, I applaud you immensely. The Boyfriend & I should really try this too, although we’re going to opposite sides of the country next year for college so I don’t know how long it would last. Really though, this is such an awesome idea, I hope you let us know how it goes!

Becareful you’re not having too much sugar, I know you’re going healthy and its a beauiful first step, but what people don’t realise is that boost juice and juice bars are just as UNHEALTHY because of the amount of sugars.

Sugar is still sugar, whether its processed or natural.

Alternative to fruits for snacks… try nuts (I now you’re already getting some tasty nuts… but seriously…) … a bit more expensive BUT a lot better than lots and lots of fruits. I miss my nuts.. (yes i had them removed…j.k) I work with kids who are anaphylatic to nuts.. so I have to becareful and I can’t bring stuff with nuts to work.

Any sort of nut is high in protein, and chicken and fish are too :P The world doesn’t run on just red meat, you know. And chicken is much cheaper than beef. Don’t sell yourself short on your protein intake… or I’ll have to go all nutritionist on your ass.

$15 = full fridge? That’s crazy, but awesome. You’ll have to let us know what good stuff you make with all the veggies. My mom and I have been trying to up the veggie intake, but steamed and raw veggies get dull after a while.

Haha, Skye beat me. I thought he was Dylan now! :P

I think it’s awesome that you’re trying to eat better. Josh and I are going to start doing that too once we move into our new apartment next week. I’m looking forward to it.

I thought you were going to call him Dylan from now on.

Good luck! Since I moved into my own apartment, the fast food has gone way down (I have a fridge I can put things in now!). Saved A LOT of money.

It’s great that you guys are taking notice of the small things like eating fast food constantly. I recently discovered the same thing myself and don’t particularly eat as much fast food as I used to. I think my overall mental state (not to mention physical) has benefit from it.

If you are interested in any good healthy snacks to whip up from the vegies and stuff then you can just ask me about it mainly because my mum is a fresh produce nut and will only really eat FRESH PRODUCE. I think it has stemmed from her anorexia she suffered when she was 17…either way, they’re yummy, filling and healthy. xD

P.S Or you could always look online! xP
