One thing I’ve realized is that many people(including myself) have a hard time with clean eating. However, this shouldn’tstop you from doing it if you want to. Clean eating can make you a muchhappier, healthier person in just a few short weeks. Remember that there is agood amount of variety among the clean eating crowd when it comes to what”clean eating” really entails. So, while there aren’t always peopleon the extreme end of the spectrum sharing identical interpretation of cleaneating, the way in which these people generally eat can be similar.
Some of the things I like to consider clean eatingare not in and of themselves necessarily unhealthy or bad for you. Forinstance, some things like fresh fruits and vegetables can be great for you.However, many of us don’t get to reap the benefits of this natural resourcebecause it’s too difficult to access store-bought foods with more natural, lesspreservative based ingredients. Also, many of us enjoy the convenience and thuspurchase pre-packaged foods with artificial ingredients and other unnaturalproducts. When I say artificial ingredients, I’m referring to things likehydrogenated oils, artificial flavorings, high fructose corn syrup, artificialsweeteners, etc.
Another aspect of eating clean is not eating thesame foods every single day. It’s amazing what you’ll notice when you startpaying attention to the ingredients in your food. Artificial ingredients,artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives–many of theseartificial ingredients and preservatives have been proven to be bad for you.While it may be difficult to avoid them when you go shopping, paying attentionto what you’re buying is the best way to avoid them. Of course, you can’t avoideating healthy altogether but you can learn to choose the right foods.
The next aspect of clean eating is paying attentionto the amount of salt and fat in your meal. Most people are surprised to learnthat the amount of fat in a meal can greatly affect the overall taste of thatmeal. While white flour may be the most widely used ingredient in cooking,other ingredients such as brown rice, whole-grain breads, beans, and nuts canbe just as delicious. Less processed foods are also less fat-filled so in thatsense, they’re healthier. When you focus on eating minimally processed packagedfoods, you’ll be able to maintain your energy level and live a healthier life.
