If this is the excuse holding you back from achieving your weight loss goals, watch this Fitzness Minute as Fitz disproves that silly myth. If weight loss and\/or improved is a priority for you, you&#8217;ve got to stop letting silly things get in the way. You can buy five whole pounds of bananas for $3.50, while one box of Girl Scout Cookies comes in at $4.00. Make smart steps like choosing in-season produce, when its cheapest and talk to your butcher or deli manager when pursuing lean meats.
