    day 1

    I’m so excited about my 30 Days of Clean Eating Challenge.

    Remember, eating food in it’s natural state is clean!  Give up all pre-packaged foods. No added sugars and fats.

    If you are trying to lose fat, limit sugar and fat so your body will burn the fat.  Drink LOTS of water!! But you can also have fat free milk and a cup of coffee in the morning.

    Many people have different views of what “Clean Eating” is.  Some are much more strict and some are more lenient.  The key is “Natural”.

    Now it’s time print your clean eating food list to go shopping.  Preparing meals is really simple because you are not adding a lot of additional ingredients.  Get in the habit of reading your labels. I look for less than 5 ingredients and you want to be able to pronounce all the ingredients. 🙂

    I will be grilling, sauteing, roasting foods and using my handy crock-pot too.

    Here is a list of what I will be buying and eating.  (printable list here) This is where you have fun.  Try new things!
