This "Eating Clean" thing is actually not so bad at all. Although, eating every 2 to 3 hours will make you feel like you are eating "too much", but the fact that it is all healthy stuff, with no preservatives, added sugars, healthy fats...you do feel a lot better throughout the day. For example, I am usually sluggish around this time of day. However, I am constantly putting good things in my body, and drinking my water...so I am feeling energetic and ready to go home, work out and make dinner.
I can't wait to see how I feel within the next week or two. I have a feeling that it's going to be pretty darn good. And I must say, I am not doing this to accelerate weight loss, even though that may happen anyway. I just want to see if my overall health is better, but not allowing toxic things in my body.
Another thing I did think about is...for anyone who is not use to incorporating a lot of fruits and veggies in your diet, this would be a little hard at first. I have always been a lover of fruits and veggies so this is not too hard for me to do. If anything, I am just more cautious of increasing the amounts of fruits and veggies.
Another thing is...there is nothing tasty about flaxseed. LOL So you have to be really good about putting it into things that you can decided the seediness. But it definitely aids the digestive system :)
I just wanted to give you all a little sneak peek of what I have been experiencing thus far. So far, so good!
great job on the clean eating!!! My eating is what always gets me, too many yummy goodies! Im trying to refocus on cleaner foods right now too!
ReplyDeleteHow do you find the protein intake? It seems like a lot for me to handle. Are you eating animal sources at every meal? Which veggie/grain sources do you include?
ReplyDeleteIts actually not as bad as I thought. I don't eat animal sources all the time. But I find that if I can't think of something to pair with my complex carb...I will have two hard boiled eggs with the just the whites. Sometimes I will do a can of tuna, greek yogurt. Sometimes I refer back to Tosca's list to remind myself and to switch it up...but what I love is how I feel when I eat the combo of both throughout the day. Its funny because when I was reading the book, I thought there was no way I could eat that much...but its a lot easier once you start doing it.
