Clean-Eating Principles

Here are the 14 principles Clean-Eaters use taken from the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook.

Remember, to lose or gain weight you must eat more! However, your food choices need to be clean and healthy to lose weight. These are the Clean-Eating principles that will guide you through your physique and health transformation. Print this guide and stick it on your fridge or in in a cupboard where you will be reminded to follow the habits until they become your lifestyle.

1) Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
2) Eat every 2-3 hours
3) Combine lean protein and complex carbs at every meal.
4) Drink at least 2 liters, or 8 cups, of water each day.
5) Never miss a meal, especially breakfast.
6) Carry a cooler loaded with Clean-Eating foods to get through the day.
7) Avoid all over-processed, refined foods, especially white flour and sugar.
8) Avoid all saturated and trans fats.
9) Avoid sugar-loaded sodas and juices.
10) Consume adequate healthy fats, EFS, (Essential Fatty Acids) each day.
11) Avoid Alcohol - another form of sugar.
12) Avoid all calorie-dense foods containing no nutritional value.
13) Depend on fresh fruit and vegetables for fiber, vitamins, and enzymes.
14) Stick to proper portion sizes - give up the super sizing!

I hope this helps, if you don't have the Eat Clean Diet Book you can order it online at toscareno.com, amazon.com, find it at Barnes and Noble, and I have even seen it at Target. It is a great book, and a lifestyle change not only for you but your family as well. After all if you want to get healthy don't you think your family should too?
