From the book “What the World Eats” by Peter Menzel whereas he traveled the world and documented what a typical family eats in a week and what they pay. What does your family spend for one week of food?<\/em><\/p>\n

The Caven Family of California $159.18 <\/strong>for one week.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The Revis Family North Carolina $341.98 <\/strong>for one week.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the USDA in 2009 <\/strong>“The average American family of four (married couple with two children) spent approximately $185 per week on food (away and at home). This spending does not buy a nutritious diet.”<\/p>\n

According to the USDA in 2010 <\/strong>“By following USDA’s Low-Cost Food Plan, people could save money and consume a healthier diet. The Low-Cost Food Plan is a nutritious diet that in November 2010 cost $175 per week for a family of four (married couple with two children). Contrary to popular opinion that a healthier diet costs more, it is possible for people to eat healthier, including more vegetables and fruits, and spend less on food.”<\/p>\n

Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers charge a monthly fee of $25 to $50. per month to be part of their lists and groups and THEN you have to add food $$ on top of that.<\/p>\n

A gym or health club membership runs appx the same $25 to $50 per month.<\/p>\n

The above info provided because many of the business owners we coach will begin to discuss \/ promote weightloss over the next 21 days and I\/we promise you that those numbers and comparisons will come up.<\/p>\n

Remember, whenever someone says X is “too expensive” the only appropriate response is the question; “Compared to what?”<\/p>\n
