You may ask. What is CLEAN EATING?
This is another way to describe healthy eating.
You absolutely cannot reach your health goals if you don't make the conscious choice to EAT CLEAN.
If you eat garbage, your body will show it.
Making smart choices when considering what you put in your mouth will greatly benefit of your body..
Eat Lots Of Fresh Produce – Eat food that is straight
from nature. Eat mostly foods that are off a tree, bush, plant or vine, and
you’ve pretty much got it covered. The idea is to stay away from
anything that humans (food corporations) have altered in any way.
Include LEAN Meats - Eat meats that are whole and
straight from the butcher.
Don’t buy pre-packaged meat products because
you never know what’s in them.
When possible, buy whole meats and grind
them yourself. You’d be surprised what’s in ground turkey meat!
You can
also select a few turkey breasts and ask that the butcher grind them for
you.
Many butchers are more than willing to accommodate.
Enjoy Grains - Eat grains that are still complete
and haven’t been broken down into “glue”. Stick to brown rice, whole
wheat and other whole grains.
Read Labels I don’t know how many breads I’ve
picked up at the store that say they are whole grain. But when I take a
look at the ingredient list, white flour is the second ingredient after
whole wheat flour! READ READ READ. The first 2-3 ingredients that are listed indicate the amount of the ingredient in the product. For example, the ingredients that are most present are the first and second ingredients listed.
Eat Fewer Ingredients. Try not to purchase foods
that have more than 3-6 ingredients in the ingredient list. And be sure
you recognize each and every ingredient. If you find a “mystery
ingredient” such as “spices”, contact the company! Ask them what they
consider to be spices. If it’s anything other than honest-to-goodness
herbs and spices, avoid it! And remember, if you can’t pronounce it, it
probably shouldn’t go into your body.
Eat 5-6 small meals per day. This may seem like a
lot at first. But remember, you are eating smaller portions. If you
really have a hard time with this, prepare your regular three meals and a
snack for the day, and divide lunch and dinner in half. You’ve
instantly got 6 small meals!
