‘I tried swimming but it cost £22 a month and it meant I had to cut back on my favourite pizza and Chinese takeaways.’


I don’t know what to say. People of her weight must need to eat a lot just to “maintain”.

When you talk about eating a lot just to maintain that weight that is not exactly true. I lost 150 lbs over the last couple of years and it is so easy to rack up calories. Take the cookies at Starbucks for instance 300 calories a pop let’s say you have 2two of those or a bBig Mac that would mean that you are going to have to walk about
An hour just to burn it off. Then take the Salad Bar at lets say Jason’s Deli you can easily rack up a 500 calorie salad if you are not careful . Her caloric intake should be about 1200 to 2000 calories a day depending on her age it is easier said than done but it can be done but she does have a point about the cost of healthy food the cost of a grapefruit is exceeding 150 a grapefruit smoked salmon is going for 8.99 for 4,ounces and yes with my diet I can replace both of those items with bananas and eggs but the chicken and fish is going to cost some bucks.
