I do admit my new diet seems to cost a bit more on grocery day ... but because the healthy foods are so satisfying I no longer feel a need to munch and I rarely have deserts now ... I simply don't crave them like I used to. I no longer buy take-out and that saves me a small fortune as well. And I don't know how, but the fruits and veggies seem to last longer than the processed garbage I used to ingest. I'm saving money in the long run.
