THE DIRT ON CLEAN EATING




Clean eating. It’s a term that’s tagged in tweets, posted on Instagram and Facebook, and seen on TV. Is it a diet? Is it a lifestyle?  What is it? The truth is, it’s a very simple and important concept.

 
Food that’s clean is food that’s for the most part real food and not filled with things that compromise health, such as artificial flavorings, artificial colorings, sugar substitutes etc.

 
The shorter the ingredient list, the better. Think of it this way... If it came from a plant, EAT IT. If it was made IN a plant, SKIP IT! No certain food is off-limits so as long as it’s a real food, most if the time in its true natural state. Pure fruits are not unclean foods just because there is sugar found in fruit.  It’s not about banishing any particular type of ingredient or food, think before you eat.  Think of your body as a luxury sports car. Would you fill it up with dirt and grease or would you put the top premium gas in it to fuel it?

 
Heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes are in almost every household in the country today. Those are lifestyle related conditions. Can you believe that?!  Why choose that?

 
If this is new to you, try eating one clean meal a day and working it up to all 3 or 5 meals. The benefits are endless and for those trying to shed those stubborn pounds this is your key to success! Clean Eating, try it!
