<prompt> Human: Hey everyone, its my first post on this sub so I hope this will be beneficial to everyone. When on a tight budget or just trying to save money in general, dieting is actually an incredible way to save money. If you are unhappy with a few extra pounds of fat you may have on your body, diets double as a way to become more healthy and save a solid amount money.A few years ago I was 30-40 lbs over weight and I was focusing on losing all that extra weight. Throughout studying effective weight loss techniques, I found about 80 of progress relied upon eating less food. I literally cut my Calorie intake in half, and effectively this cut out nearly half of my expenses at the grocery store. Every extra dollar I would have spent at the store when I was buying much more food, has gone into a savings account and has given me a nice security fund. Lastly, maybe even a more significant money saver, health care costs. If you are unhealthy, you are more likely to have heftier medical bills than a healthy person down the road. So going on a diet is a great way to invest in yourself!  <response>: Can confirm the medical costs. Used to weigh 360 with 200 per month in medication. Now I weigh 210 with 10 per month in medication asthma allergies.
