Hello,
I’d love to share with you the theory behind the way that I make my food choices called, clean eating. It’s simple, in theory, but leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Clean eating means; if you can’t grow it, don’t eat it. Un-processed foods always have more nutritional value than something that is ‘packaged’. Example, an apple is better than apple juice or freeze dried apple snacks. Clean eating should include all the levels of the update food pyramid- protein, (9 -12 oz per day), healthy whole grain carbs (5-6 servings per day. Brown rice, whole grain wheat bread, quinoa, whole wheat pasta), water (12-96 oz. per day; may include coffee or tea), a fresh veggies , fruits, and healthy fats ( extra virgin olive oil, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax )
Go on the web and check out the most updated food pyramid for more details on specifics. Some advanced planning is required (packing lunch, pre-partial cooking veggies or protein at beginning of week), but the payoff is HUGE!
