RECAP on the clean eating challenge!

• No processed foods - Sticking to the OUTER isles of your grocery is a good rule to follow!
• Fresh WHOLE Foods such as veggies, fruits, WHOLE grains!
• No chemical preservative or additives- It is likely that if you cant read/pronounce the ingredient, you shouldnt be consuming it to begin with!
• GOOD Fats ONLY! Start reading labels everybody! Poly unsatruated fats and Mono unsaturated fats are GOOD fats. Say NO to Trans fats and Saturated fats!!!
• Stick to LEAN Protiens locally farm raised or organic when possible.
• Excluding dairy may not work for everyone but I have substituted Almond, rice or coconut milk for dairy and it's mmmm,mmmm, good! :)

A girlfriend of mine reminded me to suggest that a Cheat meal is absolutely acceptable as eating clean is such a new lifestyle. We often mindlessly put something in our mouths that doesnt fit the new idea of clean eating... If that happens, jump back on the plan and keep bringing it!!! :)
