Today is TIP TUESDAY!
I'm here to talk about 5 tips to help a beginner start implementing and incorporating CLEAN FOODS into their diet!
So, I started a 75/25 clean eating lifestyle just about two years ago. Although I strive to do my best day in and day out, I still LOVE what I call 'dirty' foods. That sounds so wrong, doesn't it!? Oh well.
So, these are a few things that worked for me and that were EASY things I could do without too much work. Here they are!
#1- STOP eating plain white bread. Choose 100% whole wheat OR whole grain.
#2- REPLACE regular pasta with, again, whole wheat or whole grain pasta.
#3- KNIX the soda. It's bad for you. You'll thank me later. Try flavored water with real fruit or try La Croix water if you need the carbonation
#4- when grocery shopping, shop the perimiter of the store and not so much in the food aisles. This is the veggies, fruits, meats, and dairy.
#5- when in doubt, if a food has over 10 ingredients or it has something you can't pronounce, just drop it. Don't waste your time, money, or health on it.
Maybe you've already heard or read these before, maybe it's new to you. I hope that at least ONE thing I've mentioned is helpful. And for goodness sake, if you're just starting off and you drink 12 cans of coke a day, then please ease into this lifestyle. No one says you have to cut cold turkey (unless YOU want to, of course). This is a lifestyle change, not a fad. So, do what you can in your time.
