I have in recent months become really interested in clean eating and adopting this approach myself. I have read and listened to many people who adopt this approach to eating and it makes real sense to me!!! The principle really is that we eat unprocessed food that is as close to its natural state as possible. The most common choice for breakfast I find when speaking with people is cereal or toast…..both of these choices are processed and contain more sugar and salt than
people realise. Read my 5 top tips below for clean eating
#1 –
Have a look at the nutrition and ingredient information on the foods you buy, you may be surprised at the amount of sugar, salt and additives that go into it!!! As a rule of thumb if something contains more than 2/3 ingredients then it is not clean, particularly if you can’t even pronounce some of them!!! A potato has come from the ground……a crisp has come from a potato but looks very different!!!
#2 –
Eat a protein rich breakfast…..protein fills you up!!!! I choose a lunch style breakfast which can take some getting used to but I feel so much better for it. My favourite is poached eggs with salmon and asparagus!!!! I am also not afraid to eat leftovers from last night’s healthy meal!!!
#3 –
Eat as many greens as you can with each meal even breakfast….really load up on the veggies and salads. Experiment with different types…....I love to try new ones all the time!!!!
#4 –
Invest in a slow cooker…….I couldn’t live without mine…..there are so many things you can cook in them. I like to throw meat/fish and veg in and come home to a fantastic meal that’s been cooking all day. I find doing this prevents me from coming home exhausted and reaching for the takeaway menu as I can’t be bothered to cook!!!
#5 –
Eat a variety of different meat and fish…..I have started going to the butchers and buying all sorts of different meats…..it’s great to try new things and stops you from getting bored with your meals.
