How to Clean Eat

2009-01-09T02:30:00.000-08:00

Step 1:

Eat six small meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner and three snacks. Try to eat every few hours to curb hunger and promote a higher metabolism.

Step 2:

Choose whole grains and complex carbohydrates to give you more energy and keep you feeling fuller longer. Remember that whole wheat is not necessarily whole grain. Look for breads, rice and pasta that are not just brown, but also made with 100% whole grains. One serving is about the size of your closed fist.

Step 3:

Leave calorie-filled, non-nutritional "junk food" at the grocery store. If you buy fresh foods, you will eat fresh foods.

Step 4:

Eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want. Try to add one serving, about a handful, of each per meal. Fruits also make great snacks because they are full of natural sugar and can help fight those afternoon sugar cravings.

Step 5:

Eat lean meats, chicken and fish whenever possible, staying away from processed and fatty meats. This will give you much needed protein with little fat. One serving is about the size of you palm.

Step 6:

Read labels. Look at calorie counts but also look at nutritional value and ingredients. Try to avoid foods with white flour, sugar and sugar substitutes, saturated fats and trans-fats.

Step 7:

Take small bags of unsalted almonds, cashews and walnuts with you to work so you don't get tempted by vending machines and breakroom junk food.

Step 8:

Check internet sites, libraries and bookstores for recipes to keep your new lifestyle fresh and flavorful.

Step 9:

Give yourself a "cheat day" but remember not to go overboard. Allow yourself a meal out with friends or a special food, but try not to undo all your hard work from the rest of the week. Enjoy being healthy!

Extra Tips: Remember to eat! Never skip a meal....

If you are having trouble eating clean at work, take a cooler full of healthy choices with you to get you through the work day.

Avoid alcohol and soft drinks. If you must indulge, minimize the amount and remember to drink plenty of water.

Stay away from too many dried fruits. They are usually higher in calories and have less water than fresh fruits.

Remember to incorporate exercise for maximum results. Even if it is just 15 or 20 minutes a day until you build up.

Clean Eating is a healthy way to live. It is the way to long term weight loss and a healthy body for life. I want to share with you my daily tips and ideas. I have been clean eating for 3 years now.

Make sure each meal has:

Protein to keep you full

Fiber to Keep you full

Veggies

Make sure you eat 6 small meals a day every 2-3 hours

A typical breakfast for me is a big bowl of Oatmeal, 4 Hardboiled egg whites, Fruit on top of oatmeal (Blueberries or other Fresh Berries)

All followed by alot of water. I drink at least 2 liters of water everyday. Water not only helps your body function but boost metabolism and gives you clear skin.

You will start to notice that your skin, nails, an hair become more healthy looking and feel softer and look vibrant.

This is the way are are intended to eat. Try to stay away from any boxed foods as much as possible. Processed junk!

Eat egg whites every morning with whole grain toast or oatmeal on the side. Egg whites boiled will keep you full. Egg whites are full of protein. Boil your eggs at night or in the morning and remove shell, slice in half and take the egg yolk out and do not eat the egg yolk. You can snack on the egg whites through the day. Protein helps boost your metabolism and keep you full.

Drink Plenty of water

2007-05-31T23:08:00.000-07:00

You should make a habit of Drinking plenty of water or calorie-free beverages.
Sometimes we can confuse thirst with being hungry. So then you actually tend to consume more calories. When you should really be drinking some water.
If you don't really care for water you can put a few drops of citrus or 100% juice.

Most work places have water dispenser's which you can feel up a sports bottle with everyday.

Oatmeal for Breakfast

2007-05-31T22:53:00.000-07:00

Eating a nice bowl of oatmeal in the morning can keep you full until your next meal. It has a very high fiber. You can top it with fruit like Blueberries, Rasberries, peaches, apples, etc.
