Basic Clean Eating

I have been getting a lot of questions about clean eating and how to do it. I found this great basic guide so you can get yourself started the next time you head to the grocery store. Basically, you will shop from the perimeter of the grocery store. Skip the cookies, crackers and chips. You will fill your cart with fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, oatmeal, whole grains, lean meats, eggs, hummus...you will be shocked at what you CAN eat. The internet will FULL of resources to help you make the shift. There are a TON of great recipes for dinner, snacks and dessert! You don't have to do a complete overhaul of your pantry at one time (although you can...I'm not going to stop you). Start with little changes and incorporate them into your family's regular rotation. Over the course of a few weeks, if you stop buying all of the junk and replace it with healthy CLEAN alternatives during each trip, your fridge and pantry will be significantly healthier and you have made some positive changes for your lifestyle. I challenge you to give it a try!
