All diets are temporary as they are just supposed to get you back on track. This challenge will help to take out bad things in your body while still allowing you to give into your cravings once in a while. Challenge yourself and try these 5 clean eating tips to get started:
Day 1- Rearrange your fridge and pantry. Even with the strongest willpower, you won’t want to stare at these processed foods when you get home, hungry after a long day. Plus, you’ll fill that extra space with healthy, whole foods you’ll still want to eat.
Day 2- Set your intentions for right now (and beyond). Why do you want to clean up your diet? Have you gained weight over the last year? Are you stress-eating thanks to a new job? Are you always exhausted? Do you want to improve your #gainz in the gym?
Day 3- Plan your meals. Begin with a meal plan and a shopping list. We’ll get you started with a clean-ish eating menu for one day (watch the video above) that covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack time, and dessert.
Day 4- Go for more color. Now’s the time to diversify your portfolio of fruits and veggies. While a balance of all the usual suspects will ensure you get lots of variety in both taste and nutrition, try seeking out some of these different colored vegetables that pack a big nutrition punch.
Day 5- Have a snack time game plan. Meal planning is one thing, but when it’s 4 p.m. and a craving for pretzels dipped in Nutella hits (don’t act like you’ve never done it), you better have a game plan.Try our suggestions—sliced apple with cinnamon and a tablespoon of nut butter, or veggie sticks and crackers with guacamole.
