Hey everyone. A quick health post today about clean eating. Clean eating is essentially eating food the way nature delivers it, or as close to that as possible. It is not really a diet, but rather a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation. It is more about eating real food, for a healthy, happy life. Here are some strategies to approach clean eating...
Eat when hungry, and stop when full. Experiment with various ways of eating, and when your body responds well to a certain diet style, stick to that. This could be a high fat/low carb diet, Paleo, or flexitarian.
Choose organic whenever possible. If your budget allows, make purchasing meat, eggs, dairy, and the "Dirty Dozen" organic priorities.
Drink at least 2 liters of water a day, preferably from a reusable canteen, not plastic. Also limit alcohol consumption to one glass of antioxidant rich red wine a day.
Pay attention to labels. Clean foods contain short ingredient lists. Any product with a long ingredient list is human made and not considered clean.
Avoid processed foods and refined foods such as white flour, sugar, bread, and pasta. Also steer clear of trans fats, fried foods, and foods high in sugar. Avoid preservatives, color additives, toxic binders, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and fat replacers.
Consume healthy fats (essentially fatty acids or EFAs) everyday.
Well there you have it. I hope you learned a little bit about clean eating. Like stated earlier, it isn't really a diet, but rather a lifestyle. See if you can make it work for you and you will reap the benefits. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you soon.
