Quote by Ann Wigmore

What is clean eating?

Clean eating principles Eat 5 or 6 small meals every day. Eat every 2 to 3 hours. Combine lean protein and complex carbs at every

meal.  Drink at least 2 liters of water each day. Never miss a meal, especially breakfast. Carry a cooler loaded with Eat-Clean foods to get

through the day. Avoid all over-processed, refined foods, especially white

flour and sugar.

Clean eating principles Avoid saturated & trans fats. Avoid sugar-loaded colas and juices, diet drinks too. Consume adequate healthy fats each day.   Avoid all calorie-dense foods that contain little or no

nutritional value. Depend on fresh fruits and vegetables for fiber,

vitamins and enzymes. Stick to proper portion sizes – give up the super-sizing!

“Diet” vs. “lifestyle” Before… and now

Eat your colors! I don’t mean

these colors! I mean

these!

Eat this… Quinoa Kale Salmon Blueberries Sweet potatoes Oats Eggs

Nuts Avocado Pumpkin Black beans Broccoli Flaxseed Green tea

Not that!

Definitely not this!

“Sugar is the legal cocaine” ~ Tosca Reno

Read food labels!

Eat organic (& avoid GMOs)
