One of the things we’re big on at RISE………

 

Is getting to the truth.

 

Helping people (ourselves included) see through the ‘narratives’ that go through our heads.

 

The stories our brain uses to ‘make sense’ of everything that’s going on around us.

 

To find the cold, hard facts.

 

One story we commonly tell ourselves is that eating more healthily is expensive and time consuming.

 

Sure, it can be.

 

And often we find examples of this that support our theory.

 

But they’re of the not fair comparisons.

 

Sure a fully cooked from scratch meal will cost more in time and money than a pot noodle.

 

A three course meal will definitely cost more in time than a take out and probably more in cost too.

 

The ‘super food salad’ costs more than the meal deal sandwich, chocolate bar and pack of crisps.

 

And so on.

 

But we can make better choices that don’t have to cost more in time and / or money.

 

Or even less.

 

You can chuck a load of meat and veg in a dish and pop it in the oven quicker than you can sort a take out and probably for less cost.

 

You can make more of an evening meal and warm it up for brekkie in the same amount of time you could sort a bowl of cereal and some toast with a minimal extra cost.

 

You can get some cooked meats and some salad whilst doing your weekly shop and have it for lunch at work in less time than it takes to pop to Pret or Starbucks for a pannini and it’ll be cheaper too.

 

You can trim portion sizes (just 10 or 20% – you don’t need to go hungry) in zero time and for a small saving.

 

You get the point.

 

Eating better can be expensive and time consuming.

 

But it doesn’t have to be.

 

Don’t let that stop you 🙂

 

 

Much love,

 

Jon ‘Fair Dinkum’ Hall and Matt ‘Fair Trade’ Nicholson
