Eating Clean For Weight Loss

Learning how to eat clean is not complicated. It is about mindfully selecting foods that are whole or minimally refined or processed, leaving them closer to their natural form. This way of eating is in contrast to other "diets" that promote counting carbs or fat or protein and instead allows you to eat a variety of foods that are just that - real whole food. The key to eating clean is to not eat foods that have chemicals or preservatives added and that have been minimally, if at all, altered from their natural state. Unfortunately, our society's approach to eating, and the food production processes that supplies our food, makes it challenging to eat this way ... but it is still possible and we show you how. If you want to make a move to eating clean, the first thing you must understand is that, yes, it is about your diet and how you eat, but it isn't necessarily a "diet" as we come to think of that word today. It is part of a healthy lifestyle. Instead, clean eating is about making lifestyle choices that will enhance your health. You aren't going to drop 50 pounds in one month when you eat clean. Instead, you will be making more nutritious choices about what you put in your body, and you will be more mindful of the foods you eat, but if overweight, you will lose weight in the process. Because eating clean is about reducing processed foods, that means you will naturally eat fewer carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and sugars. This, in turn, will have many positive health effects on your body, including natural weight loss if you are overweight. Eating clean means you value your body and your health so much that you select only the very best fuel to power you throughout each day. A clean eating approach means you are removing the junk food that has come to be a large part of the Western diet, sometimes called the Standard American Diet, or SAD. It is sad indeed. Instead of eating foods with artificial flavors, refined sugars, excess amounts of salt, you eat whole foods that are not processed, refined, packaged, or enhanced with artificial ingredients. It is natural for us to eat clean as evolutionary it is the way our ancient ancestors ate because all they had was what they could hunt for meat and pick for plants. You can learn how to get back to this type of eating and reap the health benefit associated with eating clean in my book and lose weight naturally along the way.
About the Author: I have published numerous books on Amazon for Kindle, CreateSpace and other publishing platforms. While most of my books are on health and fitness in general, as I age (now 65) at the time of this writing) my topics of interest are geared toward aging baby boomers and older. Besides my own writing, I also ghostwrite ebooks, books, reports, articles, blogs and do Kindle conversions for clients on a variety of topics. Today my wife and I are retired from our careers and live in Gold Canyon, AZ. I now write as a retirement business where you'll find me happily sitting in my office typing away on my laptop as I work on my next book or ghostwriting project . . . that is if we are not traveling on a cruise ship - our new-found mode of travel.
