One more to go! I’ve not been completely on-track this month, which is frustrating but I only have myself to blame! I do admit to purchasing a few things from yet another fellow beauty blogger’s blog sale. But I think it’s good to support friends and co-bloggers, right? Right. I will continue use that to justify my purchases…
So what is ‘eating clean’? There are plenty of websites and books available on the subject, but in a nutshell it’s basically eating the foods we all know we should be eating. Cutting out overly processed foods, refined sugar and alcohol and generally trying to eat foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. So if you’re eating pasta or bread, stick to wholewheat, rye or wholegrain products. It’s also recommended to eat 5 small meals a day while eating clean to keep your metabolism working. It’s all a matter of common sense really. I’ve set myself a personal challenge to eat clean for a week and see how I feel and how it effects my day to day life. Today was day 1, and I feel satisfied with everything I ate today. I wasn’t particularly hungry throughout the day, but I did find myself thinking more about food than I normally do. I think that was because I was planning things in my head, and making sure I was sticking to my plan. Just to give you an idea of what an eating clean diet might contain, today I ate:
Almond Milk, Blueberry, Banana & Chia Seed Smoothie
Wholegrain Ryvita Crackers w. Fresh Tomato, Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
Tuna & Brown Rice Salad
Garlic Chilli Chicken, Sweet Potato Fries & Salad
