The chips are a good idea, but my diet is already so limited to PB&J, hummus and cheese and mixed green sandwiches, and the occasional whole grain rotini + prego chunky garden (and mixed greens), oatmeal, apples, frozen blueberries, bananas, and the occasional frozen quinoa dish that chips and occasional ice cream or Italian ice are a nice change of pace.
I haven't had a soda or the like since, I think pre-COVID.
I just eat too much, and don't exercise enough. I could probably use more water, too, but I don't like using the restroom at work. I do find that when I'm working I can often not eat without feeling and hunger pains, but I usually make up for that by eating a lot at night when I get home.
You should really try vegetables. I know bread is a processed plant product, but we generally don't count bread as a vegetable.
Poor people aren't living high on spinach and kale. They're eating butter sandwiches for lunch because they're too poor for nut spreads and jam. They're eating 5 boxes for 2$ mac dinners. They're checking which of the soup cans they bought on a 10 dollar for 10 cans sale years ago are still good (aka not puffy) even though they're long expired. The cheap vegetables are starchy roots, but even the 50c/lb carrots don't hold up to processed food prices.
You can spread out 1 cup of rice with 9 cups of water as a soup. I was stirfrying cabbage with almost no seasoning. And it would still be cheaper and more filling to indulge in mac dinners and hamburger helper.
No it doesn't, just eat more filling foods with lots of fiber. Veggies are cheaper than dirt, far cheaper than junk food, and far more sating. Junk food is engineered to leave you feeling hungry, to encourage you to buy more. Stop buying junk food completely; no more chips, colas or frozen pizzas. Buy vegetables, particularly the leafy ones, and eat as much as it takes to make yourself feel full. You'll lose weight and save money at the same time.
