Eating Clean + 5 Day Meal Plan FREE!!!!

What is Clean Eating???


80% of your fitness goals can not be reached without proper nutrition!  You can't outrun a bad diet!  Clean eating is focusing on shopping the outer perimeter of the grocery store and removing processed foods from your diet.  If food has a long term expiration date on it - meaning it won't spoil for awhile - avoid eating it!  So lean proteins, whole grains, veggies, & fruits are the best go to foods for your success!  


Read Labels

So many times when you read labels you will be shocked at what is added to the food.  For example my children love apple sauce - I can't tell you how many times I've picked up apple sauce at the grocery store to find corn syrup as a primary ingredient!  



Eat Fewer Ingredients

Try to focus on foods with 3-6 ingredients max that you can pronounce.  Avoid mystery ingredients!

  1. Annie~
    Thank you so much for this post, especially as I plan to begin a complete lifestyle change in 2013. I have a history of depression & chronic pain & fatigue & I am a sugar addict. It's my drug of choice. I need to lose a ton of weight & I need to start moving. With the pain syndrome I have, it's difficult to even walk around the block. But even with my poor diet choices, I love good, healthy food too. I just bought a Nutrablast blender & plan on making my own green juices & protein smoothies.
    I see a nutritionist & will be adding supplements to fight inflammation. Wish me luck. You look fabulous! And thank you again for the wealth of help you have provided me. Have a wonderful new year. Love to you & your beautiful family (Mom & sisters included~I love their blogs).
