I've been eating lousy foods recently. I'm single, live alone, and have been eating pre-packaged foods for the past few months, exclusively. As a result, I've gained about fifteen pounds, feel tired all day, and think that my poor dietary choices are slowly killing me. The complex ingredient lists and preservatives of the frozen, microwaveable food I'm eating cannot be healthy in the long term.
I want to try a healthy diet of natural foods, but need to start off basic and cheap, if that is possible. I don't have anything to cook with except for an eight inch saucepan, have no spices, and a basically empty cabinet except for some instant coffee, cereal bars and ramen noodles.
Can someone point me in the right direction? The simpler and cheaper, the better. I was thinking about starting off by cooking some lentils, but can't fathom much more than that right now.
