Clean Eating.......my new PASSION

When I started this new journey almost a month ago I decided to change my eating habits and really try clean eating.  I have tried it before but never 100% and wasn't really sold on the whole concept.

Well let me tell you...... once I started 100% and really tried, I was hooked!  I think I fell in love with how much my boys and husband loved the food.  Than I fell in love with how it made us feel.  I noticed so many changes in our moods, health and skin!!!!!!

I always thought....... we can't afford this!  I don't have time!

Not the case at all!!!!!!  If you plan and prep and get a little organized its totally doable :)

This is what I do:

I make a calendar and plan each meal for the entire week.

Monday -
Breakfast: Eggs, Toast, orange
Lunch: Turkey Pita Pockets
Dinner: Gnocchi Alfredo with shrimp & salad
Snacks: energy balls
Snacks: Fruit salad

So then I would make a shopping list.

Eggs
Bread - whole wheat & gluten free
Whole wheat Pita
Oranges
grapes
strawberries
melon
grapefuit
green leaf lettuce
tomato
Potatoes
Turkey slices
Shrimp
Almond Milk
Rice flour
quick oats
YOU GET THE IDEA!!

Then to keep costs down I totally check flyers and go around to all grocery stores. ( I get most of you won't do this )

I also like to make things that can be used in another meal.  Like Turkey meatballs!!!!

When shopping try to stay to the outside isles.  This is all the fresh ingredients.  READ Labels!!!!!  I can not stress this enough.  if the package says "low fat", "Gluten Free", "fat free" this does not mean it is!!!!  If you don't know an ingredient chances are your body won't either :)

Well I hope this helps.  Good luck and let me know any tips you have for clean eating!!!
