Clean eating can be interpreted many different ways. To my understanding it is eating foods that are nutritionally valuable to your body meaning they haven't been processed or modified. Your body will benefit from consuming said foods. Keeping that in mind and knowing my personality I decided after the first week to not be super strict. I would never stick to it.
Instead I used the recipes and snack ideas as a guideline and added a few things or took away what I didn't want to eat. You want to enjoy what you put in your body and if you hate eating salads then don't eat salads. There are plenty of other foods that are great for you that don't involve lettuce.
All in all it helped me break through a plateau I had been battling for six weeks. I feel less bloated, more energized and healthier.
For me what ever I eat affects me. I can tell if it's slowing me down or if it's giving me energy. I'm not perfect and I am not super strict. I eat out but I educate myself of what I put in my mouth. You have 100% control over what goes in your body. That was part of getting my act together. Realizing I am responsible for myself. No one else. So if you need a little kick start to awesome nutrition then I highly recommend clean eating.
Note: if if seems overwhelming- I know how you feel- start with one meal. Figure out how to make that clean. Ask yourself the following- is it processed, what can it do for my body, is it going to help me reach my goal?
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
