That is still double the amount of money proposed. This is completely ignoring the fact that i probably need stuff except calories to survive, some vitamins etc. I am pretty sure i'd die of scurvy rather quickly if i only eat rice. And we completely ignoring energy and water costs, but i guess that is valid. a month's worth of cheap brand rice is ~7 € if i was shopping in the cheap supermarket right around the corner. Could probably find cheaper if I tried but let's leave it at that. let's say you have to buy the salt for it should be ~1€ or something similar still leaving you with 7 more. I'd go for big cans of vegetables, peas and corn or shit. Or frozen ones. I'd have to look up what they cost exactly and im too lazy for that but just get, say, two kinds and as much as you can with three fiddy ration it appropriately since there's some vegetables you probably wouldn't even get scurvy! not to mention it takes a longer time than a month to get scurvy not to mention you don't need to eat every day | ||

And i guess i was thinking about a long-term viable plan. Of course you could just NOT eat for a month, you'd probably survive that, and it's 0€! | ||

hm... if you grew your greens you could probably supplement your meals with a couple bucks a week of produce. and the 1 dollar/week cost of rice and lentils could put you in a fairly good shape nutritionally. you'd get awfully sick of it without any spices or herbs though. and i guess you non vegetarians would suffer from the lack of meat. | ||

And keep eating  All I have to lift here is between 5 and 11 kg on a bar so small I can only take it in one arm. I already do that but I doubt it's the kind of weight-lifting you're thinking about (and 3x 15 per arm with 5kg is already tiring at the end, I'm weaaaak). It's summer time now but I plan on looking at gyms formulas once they start their new year (around september). | ||

It's summer time now but I plan on looking at gyms formulas once they start their new year (around september).count your calories for a week. figure out how much your intake is and you should be able to find easy things to cut. even cutting a little and maintaining a sedentary lifestyle can make you lose weight, though obviously working out expedites things as well as makes you healthier overall. | ||
