5 Clean Eating Rules

 

Eliminate Processed Foods

Processed foods normally come in a bag, can, box or any other package. Eliminating these and opting for foods that are fresh and don’t need to be packaged is best.

Eat Lots of Fruits and Vegetables

Clean eating has a big emphasis on fruits and vegetables because these are natural and unprocessed. However, most people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. Planning meals with at least two fruits and vegetables in them is essential.

Opt for Whole Grains

Whole grains are the least touched by processing and a clean eating essential. Whole grains that look like their harvested state like oats, wild rice and quinoa are the perfect thing to add to your diet that will keep you full while removing processed foods. 

Eat Less Meat

Clean eating isn’t a vegan or vegetarian, but it has been shown that cutting back on meat has proven to have many health benefits. When you cut back on meat you will likely add more vegetables to your meals which bumps up the fiber and other nutrients from these. You can still get plenty of proteins from nuts, seeds, and beans!

Look at the Ingredients

Clean foods with little processing can be easily spotted in ingredient lists. If you are wondering if something is clean and good for your clean eating diet look at the ingredients list. If it is super long and full of weird things - it is not clean. Also if it is full of sugars it's not clean.
