Clean Eating Basics
Clean eating is divided into 3 food groups:
– Grain (minimally processed whole grains)
– Proteins (lean proteins with healthy preparation)
– Fruits and vegetables
Your aim is to ensure that your food contains natural and minimally processed ingredients. Your meal should be free of artificial sweeteners and heavy sauces. Choose whole fruit instead of juice as much as you can and eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
A Few Rules For The Clean Eating Diet
The clean eating diet is increasingly being recommended by nutritionists. It doesn’t matter if you want to lose some extra weight or not. The clean eating diet is perfect for everyone who wants to lead a healthy and happy life. If you want to really understand what this diet means you need to discover the main rules you need to follow.
– Give up eating processed food
The easiest thing you can do is to give up eating processed food and to start consuming natural foods or at least foods that contain simple ingredients. Natural foods are healthier and they taste better.
– Start eating more fruits and vegetables
You want to start eating healthy snacks but you don’t know what to choose. You should opt for fruits and vegetables. You can’t go wrong with these. You will feel full a lot faster and your body will soon get used to them.
– Avoid products that contain artificial sugars
If you want to follow a clean eating diet you should become more aware of how much sugar you consume. Start reading the labels of the products you eat and avoid those that contain a lot of sugar and artificial sweeteners.
– Choose products that contain whole wheat
These products are very healthy and they contain a lot of fibers. Therefore, you should consider including these products in your daily diet.
– Reduce the caffeine consumption
You can still have a cup of high quality coffee each day but it is important to respect this limit. Too much coffee might affect you energy levels and it can raise you anxiety levels. Whenever you have the urge to drink a cup of coffee you can try drinking a cup of black or green tea.
