What is it about?
Diabetic (including medication) and ”traditional” Hungarian diets were the most expensive. Low energy diet proved to be the most cost-effective despite the extra expenditures of higher physical activity.

Why is it important?
Nutrition and lifestyle-related diseases are some of the leading morbidities among the Hungarian population. People who want to lose weight often complain that healthy diet is expensive. Expenses related to nutritional habits and lifestyle practice could modify the health status of individuals even to improve or deteriorate, while individual differences could be wide and hardly comparable.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. A healthy diet should contain macro and micro nutrients with vitamins, minerals, and trace elements in sufficient quantities.Research has clearly indicated that diet plays an important role in the prevention of obesity and related conditions like diabetes. Nutrition has come to the fore as one of the major modifiable determinants of chronic diseases. Dietary and lifestyle patterns can produce substantial gains in the population's health.
