Eating clean is in my opinion one of the most important methods to achieving health goals, preventing chronic diseases, and just overall feeling and looking your best.  So, you may be wondering, what exactly is CLEAN eating and how do I do it?
Clean eating is removing chemicals, eating REAL food, and just de-cluttering your diet.  This concept was popularized in the 1960's and 1970's as a backlash to the loose regulations set by the FDA for the additives and preservatives allowable in our food supply.   Clean eating is basing your diet on whole, unprocessed, and nutritious foods.  Eating from nature provides a high amount of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals.  It is also low in refined carbohydrates, trans fat, and saturated fat.  Clean foods include 1 ingredient foods:  fruits, vegetables, lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and water.  Eating clean also means eliminating pesticides, hormones, GMOs, and preservatives.
By eating foods your great-grandmother would recognize, you are providing your body with the simple nutrients it knows how to metabolize and will result in easy energy!
