Day 6: 30 Days of Clean Eating | Discipline and Healthy Habits

On Day 6 of my 30 Days of Clean Eating Series, I wanted to offer some encouragement.  Creating healthy eating habits when you have not done it before takes discipline. I know this personally!  I am not perfect.  I battle with making the right food choices.  The key for me is to eat this way 80% – 90% of the time (except during this 30 day challenge).  Then treat myself to “cheat” days for fun.  And it is fun!

It is said that it takes 3 weeks….21 days…for a create a new habit and sometimes longer, even up to 2 months!  If you are new to “Eating Clean”, don’t give up.  Stick with it and you will feel great!  And if you are trying to lose weight, you will certainly see a change on the scales too.

This is not a diet. This is a lifestyle change. You can do this!
