Clean Eating Saved This Busy Mom

So you may be hearing the buzz words "clean eating" and not really sure what it is. No it is not cleaning your food before eating it .. lol that is what my kids think it is.

Clean Eating totally saved my family.  Not only are we feeling the benefits of what eating healthy can do but also it has saved money, time, and time spent cooking meals.   

So what is CLEAN EATING??

Clean Eating is simple and perfect for the busy mom with a family on the go.  It is simply avoinding processed and refines foods and replacing them with whole foods.  Sounds easy right?

By removing the toxic foods you can maintain a proper nutrition, help managed diseases, and avoid developing diseases all together, lose weight, remove toxins, and just feel better. 

Here are the basic's 

*  EAT WHOLE FOODS - Whole foods are foods that haven't been processed.  The foods you are eating are straight from the farm such as whole fruits, vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, low fat dairy products, unsalted nuts and seeds.

* AVOID THE PROCESSED FOODS - These are foods that have a list of ingredients that was added or used to make the food.  If you can't say the ingredients or don't know what it is put it back, don't even put it in your basket,  Some foods are ok to eat like whole grain pasta or natural cheeses, 

* ELIMINATE REFINED SUGAR - Refined sugar does nothing for you but provide calories.  The natural sugars such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia are great replacements. 

* EATING SMALL FREQUENT MEALS - This helps rev up your metabolism and reduce cravings.  You never get hungry and never feel deprived if anything I feel like I am eating more then ever and the pounds are falling off. 

* COOK FOR YOUR FAMILY- Instead of buying expensive pre-make meals cook from scratch.  This has really helped decrease my food bill and time running back and forth to the store.  It also saves me a ton of time by panning out my meals and prepping lots of them in advance. A couple hours one day a week saves me time and headaches about what is for dinner.

* COMBINE PROTEIN WITH CARBS - YIKES, I said the C word... yes Carbs can be good for you, you just have to eat the right ones.  When you snack or have a meal, make sure the meal is balanced. Combine protein with carbs or carbs and fat.  This yet another simple change with fuel your body and help rid you of those feelings of hunger.
