What Is Clean Eating

Clean eating is eating as natural as possible, whole, unrefined foods, avoiding artificial ingredients, preservatives and hydrogenated trans-fats.

Avoiding refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, e.g., Splenda (Sucralose) and aspartame, and substituting them for natural sweeteners and sugars like stevia, agave and honey

Making simple food swaps can improve the quality of the foods you eat. For example, eating whole grains like whole wheat bread instead of white bread, brown rice instead of white rice, fresh fruit instead of concentrated juices.

Clean eating can include: Whole grains, legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fish, eggs, unprocessed meats and dairy, drink water and stick to natural ingredients.

It's up to you how clean you want to eat. Always read the ingredients and if you don't recognise any of them or can't pronounce it, don't buy it. Try not to buy anything with too many ingredients. Experiment with recipes, use herbs and spices to flavour your food.

Prepare all your meals, so you know exactly what's going into your food and you. Make small changes each day, and DON'T beat yourself up if you make a mistake, we are human; we all do it!

It's the small changes that count at least you are doing something.
