Getting Started at Cheap Healthy Good: Whee!

Hey everybody! So, it seems 2009’s brought on a gaggle of new readers, along with a few old ones who’re newly concerned about their health. (Hi Mom.)

For kicks, and so y'all can get an idea of what the site is about (mostly the second thing), here are a few of our favorite health and weight-loss themed articles from the last few months:

• 15 Reasons I Gain(ed) Weight (And Two Reasons I Didn’t)
• The Booze of Summer: A Quick and Dirty Guide to Lighter, Cheaper Drinks
• Cheap, Healthy College Food: Tips for Frugal, Nutritious Dining in the Dorm and Beyond
• Dr. Veg-Love, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Seasonal Produce
• Eating Healthy While Clipping Coupons: The Dos and Don’ts

• Recession-Proofing Your Diet: Food Strategies for a New Economy
• Relax, Frugal Eater: A Measured Approach to Lifestyle Changes

• Understanding the Childhood Obesity Epidemic Parts I, II, and III

And of course, there are the recipe lists - cheap, healthy, and ludicrously extensive meal compilations for: beef, pork, seafood, party food, salad dressings, marinades, spice mixes, zucchini & eggplant, and pantry dinners. They should be a nice starting point for menu planning, and/or a good way to drive yourself methodically insane.

Welcome to the site, and happy eating!
