Stress and weight loss do not go hand in hand. If you are under pressure and feeling stressed, the chances are you'll have piled on the pounds rather than losing them.

Studies have been conducted showing that those who are financially poorer, are more likely to find themselves over-weight. So, if you are suffering financially during this recession but still want to effectively lose weight, what can you do about it?
Well, the first step to de stress, lose weight and start feeling good about yourself again is to change your weight loss habits and start adhering to the following:

Not only is it cheaper to grab a banana than it is to eat a popular chocolate bar, it is also far healthier!
2.) Prepare your food before you leave the house.
