Clean eating

What is clean eating?

If you are wondering what I talked about in my previous post and you can't figure out what "clean eating" is, I'm going to explain the term as much as possible.

Clean eating is a term that’s found on blogs and posted on Instagram and Facebook but does anyone really know what it is?

Food that’s clean is food that’s for the most part real food and not processed with things that compromise health like artificial flavorings, artificial colorings or sugar substitutes. Don’t eat processed food that is full of chemicals and sodium levels that are off the charts. Eat real, whole and unprocessed food. There is a simple rule: Everything that grows outside is good for you and your body. Food that is processed and frozen is not good for you! In short words: The shorter the ingredient list, the better. In my opinion clean food is not about banishing any particular type of ingredient. You can eat everything as long as you eat it in a controlled way. Of course you can also eat candy and chocolate as your so called "cheat food" but only every now and then.

The simple truth is, you just cannot get healthy without eating healthy. You can exercise every day for three hours but if you eat fast food afterwards, you just are not going to get anywhere fast. Food is the big ticket to good health. If you eat 'garbage', your body will show it. If you eat whole, healthy and fresh foods, your body, skin and soul will glow with health that gives you endless energy. Clean eating may feel a bit overwhelming at first, espsecially if you have to make a lot of changes but once you get used to it you will never eat unhealthy again. Nevertheless my advice is to take baby steps and make little changes every day. Don't give up if you make mistakes because we all do. Just realize that with every healthy meal you are one step closer to your goal!
