Clean Eating Basics

Clean Eating Basics

I know many people struggle with the nutrition aspect of weight loss and health. Here are some basic tips to get yourself on the right track to eating for your best self! Anyone, feel free to add your own tips, as well :)

√ Eating 4-6 small meals a day is usually better than 3 large meals.

√ The less ingredients something has, the better - and if there are ingredients you can't pronounce or don't know of, it's best to steer clear.

√ Keeping yourself hydrated is so important! Drink at least 64 ounces per day!

√ Eat breakfast within an hour of waking up each day.

√ Avoid WHITE! This includes white sugar, white flour, and white bread.

√ Get enough fruits and veggies per day!

√ It's best to cut out most (if not all) soda, high-calorie juices, and limit alcohol consumption (for optimal results).

√ Keep in mind proper portion sizes. You may think you're eating the right foods, but if your portions are out of whack, it's counterproductive.

√ Get in 2 servings of healthy fats per day - canola oil, flaxseeds, salmon, hazelnuts, olive oil, etc.

√ When dining out, look for items that are "baked", "grilled", "dry-sauteed", "broiled", "roasted", "poached", or "steamed".

√ Avoid: "breaded", "au gratin (with cheese)", "casserole", "carbonara", "creamy", "sauteed", "tempura", "gravy", "fried", or "bisque".
