How To Eat Clean?

Food food food. Everywhere we turn there is food.  Fast food, junk food, candy, soda, pizza, wings, burgers, fries, tacos.  The onslaught of fat, empty calories, and artery clogging foods is endless.  Sure it tastes good for a minute, but it is literally killing us.  We are the most overfed yet still starving generation. Starving because our bodies get no nutrients.  It’s all empty calories.

What do I mean by empty calories?  Food is a fuel for us.  It fuels us to be able to function to have energy, strength, and be emotionally sound.  It allow us to be safe from sickness, and heal when we are injured.  So why shouldn’t we be giving it the best and not the worst when everything relies on it?

Instead we rely on caffeine and sugar to give us a temporary high.  And medicine to fix us.

If you are working out, awesome.  But if you are not changing your diet or eating better, it’s like putting a band-aid on a chopped off limb.  You’ve got to get your diet on point.  You’ve got to replace the bad with the good.  Stop eating out first and foremost.  Stop buying things from fast food restaurants and convenience stores.

Start buying whole grains, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole grain oats.  Start eating oatmeal for breakfast, oatmeal from scratch.  Start eating chicken and turkey instead of beef all the time.  Get some whole grain granola bars, makes some trailmix with peanuts, sunflower seeds, and raisins.  Start thinking differently with your food.  You are training every time you put food in your mouth.
