Clean Eating Grocery List
So what is eating clean?
Glad you asked! It is the consumption of food in its most natural state – or as close as possible. This is the core of clean eating. Basically, eating clean is the practice of eating whole and natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates. It’s not a diet; it’s a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to health, well-being and a lean look.You CAN achieve your fitness goal, but first you need to clean up your diet. Changing your diet is one of the biggest challenges when trying to improving ones health. Majority of people are use to eating highly processed and fast food on a regular basis and breaking away from that routine can be difficult. The good news is it isn’t impossible! Once you make it a habit to eat clean, it becomes a part of your life. Eating clean is a practice of saying “no” to man-made sugar (refined), bad fats (hydrogenated and trans-fat), preservatives and any other ingredient that is not necessary to that food item. “An easy way to remember if a food is clean or not: “if man-made it, don’t eat it”. Limit your man-made foods as much as possible!
