Have you started hearing about “Clean Eating”? It’s gaining popularity and buzz, not just as a diet to lose weight, but a diet for a long and healthy life. We eat so much in the way of processed food that we don’t even stop to think about what we’re putting into our bodies, and how far we have come nutritionally from our ancestral, agrarian roots.

A “clean eating” diet simply means consuming food in its natural, unprocessed form. There are several common-sense rationales for why this is a good idea. Processing food takes so much of the basic nutritional value away. Think of some of the conventional wisdom you have heard about for years, such as:  hearing not to peel carrots or potatoes too deeply, because most of the nutrients and values are just under the surface.

The Clean Eating diet is not really a “diet”, it is a way of life. It simply means eating unprocessed, uncooked, organic, whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, dried fruits, seaweeds, lean meats, etc. It means a diet that is 100% natural with no artificial additives! A Clean Eating diet means eating more the way our ancient ancestors did. Our healthier, more fit ancestors.

Doesn’t it just make sense that this is how our bodies were meant to eat? It’s a way of eating that’s in harmony with the planet and in harmony with our own metabolisms. Our bodies were meant to work, and need to work to be efficient. That means exercise, certainly, but it also means eating natural, clean foods that require more energy to digest them.

Here are just a few resources to help you get started with a clean eating way of life!!  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave me a message below.
