Eating Clean Defined

The term “eating clean” is thrown around a lot lately. (Clean eating, eating clean, and a clean diet, are all the same thing.)

Here is my definition. Eating clean is:

…choosing foods consisting of lean meats and unprocessed grains, fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. If it didn’t grow on a tree/bush/vine/in the dirt or come directly from an identifiable animal or plant, it isn’t a “clean” food.

…consuming five to six smaller meals throughout the day at regular intervals—about every 2-3 hours.

This means shopping the outer aisles of the grocery store, keeping to the produce and the meat sections and straying to an inside aisle to pick up whole grains like oatmeal and brown rice.
