Food: Weight Loss Clean Eating 101: Change Your Body the Healthy Way by Brianne Skidmore "Mom in Motion" | March 2, 2014 Print Share Favorite This fresh vegetables in a basket Diet-surfing is exhausting! There seems to be an endless number of books, articles and pins battling for our attention (and money). The no-carb, vegetarian, liquid-only, HCG and cabbage soup diets. The bottom line seems to be that fad diets may be able to give us temporary results, but leave us looking again and again for a better way to trim down our love handles and saddlebags. Clean eating isn’t a fad diet. It’s a permanent, healthy way of eating that, with a little practice, can (and should) become a way of life. Clean eating is eating for the sake of nourishing your body with food as close to it’s natural state as possible. There is no math, no point systems, no insane calorie restrictions. When you begin to replace the processed, fried and unhealthy foods from your diet with whole grains, fruits, veggies and lean protein, your body will respond in amazing ways. Your muscles will respond to the added lean protein by growing which will speed up your metabolism. Your body will respond to the whole grains by regulating itself. Your body will also rid itself of water weight caused by excess sodium that is PACKED in processed food. Via: skinnymom
