Eating clean is your ticket to being healthy and losing weight. Eating a healthy diet will give you the best results from your workout and your overall health. Believe it or not, some people manage their weight completely with their diet and minimal exercise. I’ve seen some manage their weight with a clean diet and intermittent fasting. For more on intermittent fasting, check out my article, How Intermittent Fasting Benefits Weight Loss. Eating clean will increase your longevity and how you feel and reverse any health issues you may have. It’s also going to cause weight loss. I have had clients reverse diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure through eating a clean diet.

Cut refined sugar.

Sugar is your ticket to weight gain, which opens the door to diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Cut the sodas, cakes, pies, and candy from your diet.

Cook your own food.

The best way to prepare your food is at home. Even if you order a grilled chicken salad from a fast food restaurant, rest assured the meal is processed and has preservatives. Buy meat from the grocery store and grill or bake it. It tastes the best and is better for your overall health.

Protein, fat, and Carbohydrate ratio.

Your diet should include a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The best ration for your goals will depend on your goals. Just know that a balanced diet will lower hunger cravings and give your body the fuel it needs to function properly.

Eat whole fruits and vegetables.

Stop buying canned vegetables in syrup. Only buy packaged fruit if it’s in 100 percent fruit. Buy fruits and vegetables in season to get the most nutrients. As a bonus, it will save you money and taste better!

Be selective about the meat you eat.

Eat meat that’s grass-fed or free-range. We like to purchase our meats from Wegmans. It has a higher quality than the meat from other stores that I won’t name on this post...Read More
