What does it mean to 'eat clean'? I think it's pretty simple (at least, explaining it is - I have never tried actually eating clean!). Eating clean basically means you eat healthy, but healthy doesn't always equal clean.
Let me explain. Some healthy foods (or labeled healthy foods) have many ingredients. Ingredients that the common person cannot even pronounce. The key to a CLEAN food is that there are few ingredients as possible and all being easy enough to say. It doesn't mean that you have to eat dirt or bland foods. You just have to keep a more vigilant eye on what you are putting into your body.
I've found that after exercising relentlessly, I often end up getting fast food afterwards and obviously this lifestyle just isn't going to work. I get no postive results from living that way and I am certainly no healthier for it. This is all about making sure you're putting in good nutrients for your body.
Now, I personally am not one to dive head first into things. I am going to be taking this slow and I'll have you along every step of the way. You could dive all into healthy eating, but I know from my own experience that I often get extremely bored with things when I do them all at once - like healthy eating. I need to take this slow. Slowly introducing healthy things into my diet, one by one. You know, really getting a feel for it all. Some people would just get rid of all processed foods and go out and buy all the pricey healthy things. Like I said, I won't be doing it that way. I have a goal of a few new things every week and giving you all reviews on what I think of the product. I want you to be there every step of the way. Sound good?
This will be about baby steps, but in the end I hope we can all get there.
