just dinner (at least at first), so you can see my clean eating in action (plus it will make me more accountable). I will also be taking more pictures of ALL of my meals vs. Let me know what you think (but be gentle)!! Josh and I eat somewhat clean now, but still do depend on quite a few processed items (store made soups, granola bars, protein bars, store bought breads, etc). Outside coffee in the morning, the only beverage that will be consumed is water. Other potential dinners include chili and turkey meatloaf Lean protein (chicken, beef, tilapia, shrimp, turkey, egg whites) either baked or broiled, vegetable (steamed or roasted), whole grain selection Lunches(mixture of some of the following):Īpplesauce, Yogurt, hard boiled eggs, veggies, fruits, cooked chicken breast, tuna (note: I will probably continue to make Josh sandwiches on homemade bread only)įruit, homemade bread with nut butter, yogurt, nuts, protein shakes So, how will my meals look? Here is my sort of general outline:Ĭoffee (with 1% milk, no sugar…I will not be eliminating coffee but will be eliminating sugar/syrups,etc) with one of the following-Oatmeal, Apple/fruit with Peanut butter, Other whole grained cereal Protein powder(I realize this is not “clean”).Other ingredients to make homemade bread.Beans (black, kidney, pinto, chickpeas).Peanut butter (only natural peanut butter/nut butter made from just peanuts or peanuts and salt).Oatmeal, potentially another whole grain cereal.Chicken, ground turkey, lean beef, tilapia, shrimp (if you are vegetarian or vegan, make the appropriate replacements but try to keep it as “real” as possible).My general food list during this month will include some of the following items (I will be buying organic when possible): I would love anyone who is interested to join Josh and I on our challenge. The elimination (for the most part) of processed goods and the redirection towards more REAL foods. It’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to health, well-being and a lean look.”įor me, this will be a focus on lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. So what IS clean eating? According to Clean Eating Magazine, “Consuming food in its most natural state- or as close as possible to it-is the soul of clean eating.
NOTE: I am not a dietitian or a nutritionist!!įirst off, thank you for all the support on my new undertaking, a month of clean eating, which will officially start on Saturday.
