Eat Clean.

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!

Cut Out Bleached Product. Bleached sugar, flour (bread, pasta, etc), and rice.
 Consume Healthy Sources of Fat. Fats from olive oil, coconut oil, and other nut oils are wonderful sources
of healthy fats which are needed for the body to produce unhealthy fat burning energy.


 Enjoy ONE cheat meal a week but don't go crazy.. one cheat MEAL not an ENTIRE DAY of cheat meals.
                                             Got it?


Motivate yourself to rid your pantry and refrigerator of UNCLEAN foods. Out of sight. Out of mind, right?
                                                            YOU must DISCIPLINE yourself.
                                                                ..you CAN do it!
