WHAT IS CLEAN EATING? Clean eating basically means eating foods closest to their most natural whole form free of additives, preservatives, or anything artificial. With clean eating you want to consume foods that are minimally processed if processed at all. The concept is that food should not come from a box, package, mix, or bag. Therefore, food should come from nature and not a company. If you do purchase prepackaged food then it should have minimal ingredients and you must be able to pronounce them all. A good rule of thumb is the more ingredients a food has the less clean it is. For example, if you want applesauce the less clean option would be to purchase a general jar off the shelf. This most likely would have additives, preservatives, and of course sugar or high fructose corn syrup. The clean(er) option would be to purchase a jar of applesauce (organic or not) that only has 1 ingredient – apples. The 100% clean option would be to purchase organic apples and make the applesauce yourself. Make sense?
