Fresh fruits and vegetables\nLean meats, fish, and poultry\nFor vegetarians, tofu and dried beans and legumes\nWater instead of soda, etc.\nDon't eat the processed and snack foods.\n\nYou should get plenty of healthy foods that way; you don't need a health food store.

The solution seems rather simple.  Don't buy junk foods when you're at the grocery store.  That way, you only have to avoid the temptation once, and you would have to actively seek the snacks.  Instead of cookies, buy some fruit.  Instead of chips, buy some carrots or something.  \n\nYou can keep yourself full by drinking water too.

Get them out of your apartment. It works. I'm actually able to only buy healthy foods and only something sweet like 1 or 2x a month. But when my brother brings home a load of cookies...it's hard to resist...adn I hate it. So, the key is, keep them out of the apartment adn have lots of healthy choice to choose from.

Sweetie consult your physician, eat right, excercise, look for an organic gocery store, most regular grocery stores have food that comes from Bio-farms and unhealthy chemicals.  I also suggest the book - eat right for your type- you have to know your blood type, though- that has really worked for me and it was suggested to me by my family doctor when I had began to gain weight.

Try giving yourself no choice by to eat when you are hungry.  I only go grocery shopping once a week and I only keep enough food in the house to last the week.  If there isn't much food in the house you can't really pick.

If you're sick right now, go to the nearest public hospital emergency room.  Under federal law, they cannot refuse to treat you merely because you cannot pay.  Yes, you may wait a long time in line, and yes, you may recieve some uncomfortable questions regarding your ability to pay, but until we can fix the damn system, that's the way it is.  Get your problem dealt with first so it does not get any worse, and then worry about the "who's gonna pay" question.\nYour question really has two parts: you also need to know how to get preventive care.  That's where social services come in.  You can ask for a referral to the appropriate people while you're in the emergency room, in fact.  No, they won't make you go see social services before they treat your ilness or your dental problem.  Social services will help you find that doctor and dentist.  It probably won't be fully satisfactory, but dammit, any care is better than none!  And you might just join with those of us - medical personell and laypeople alike - in badgering the hell out of Congress to fix our miserable health care system!!!  Write letters, make phone calls, send e-mails - we gotta get on Congress's case and keep on it!  Yo, this old mick's been in health care for over forty years, but I/we can't fix it by ourselves.

WIC is your answer for free formula.  Go to your local health office.  If you have little or no income, you will be accepted.

On a smaller scale, there are probably more local options out there to help you secure the proper medications that you need without causing so much financial strain. Talk to your doctor about samples. Most doctor's offices have closets full of samples of prescription meds laying around to hand out to there patients. Ask your doctor if any of the meds you are taking are there. I am sure he / she will be willing to help. \n\nAnother option is to consult with your local health department. Many health departments / public health service providers offer options for medication assistance to those in need. Ask if your local department has a "Pharmacy Access" or "Pharmacy Assistance" program in place. These programs will help those with the need for assistance in securing prescription medications at low / no cost. Normally, the only requirement for inclusion in these programs is falling within a specific income bracket. Have proof of your income ready when you inquire to make the process go faster. Some programs may differ and may have other requirements / criteria that have to be met. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

All anyone can do for you my friend is encourage you to see a doctor and pray for you - which I shall do.  If you don't have the money for medical care please visit social services as they may be able to help you financially.

Lucky for you, eating clean is actually cheaper than eating "dirty."  Cans of tuna are fairly cheap, as are loaves of whole-wheat bread and cheeses.  See?  Got yourself one heckuva lot of sandwiches for what you'd pay for ONE Subway!  Fresh or frozen vegetables aren't going to break the bank, yet will provide a nice piece of several meals.  Buy packages of meat in the grocery store and fix them at home:  If you fix more food than you can eat in one setting, you can make individual meals out of the leftovers and freeze them for a later time, rather than running to the Jack In The Box down the street.  Potatoes?  DIRT cheap.\n\nYou're really only limited by your own creativity.

go to social services and apply for food stamps. You might also try going to the local section 8 office and applying for housing...they won't assist you until you are on their program.. Sometimes churches will help if you have a shut off notice or eviction notice. If you have little income, you might quailfy for medical benefits. Ignore these people who tell you to give off your butt and go to work.. It's those people who know very little about what it's like to need help. They have been telling me that for years and I am on disability..disability/work doesn't go together. People are just judmental.one day they will they may need the help to and they will have people telling them the say thing.
