Clean Eating-What is it to you?

So the past few weeks I have been learning what clean eating really is. For the longest time I thought it was just making sure I ate the foods to their portions when in reality that isn't what it is about! I remember hearing from Shaun T to order the food how I want it when I go out because I am allowed to be picky about what goes in my body!

Well, today is your chance to learn to be picky about what goes in your body! I am not here to tell you or make you follow this but I am here in hopes that this will help you as it helped me. I did a bit of research trying to help me prepare for what I wanted to do. I found a couple of websites that just didn't explain why it was important.

At this point I kept searching and learned that the number one thing is to DRINK HALF your body weight in water. I am 263.2lbs so I drink 131.6oz in water daily!! This will help you lose the water weight, cleanse your body of toxins, and make you feel better!

Next, I found a website that let me learn about Shakeology and made me realize it isn't for everyone but everyone should at least try it! I personally like the Cafe Latte because it reminds me of my mocha moolatte's I have chosen not to consume any more.

Then I found a site that said "clean eating snacks" who would think that there are actually snacks to this progress. These are not the sugar, chips, chocolate, or whatever your go to is these are healthy! I remember seeing on here "it is better to consume small meals/snacks then it is large meals" http://homemadeforelle.com/clean-eating-snacks/

Then there was an even more amazing site I found that showed me what not to eat and what to eat! I know I really didn't think to look this up sooner because I wasn't all in to the eating portion and thought I could just do the programs! Ummm news flash that does not work. Any ways, check out this site too http://thescienceofeating.com/food-combining-how-it-works/tips-tricks/clean-eating-101/

After looking through both of those, make your commitment to yourself to make yourself healthier in every aspect! If you are jump on it and run with it like I am!
