The idea of eating 'clean' seems to be a buzz word these days. Clean eating is very simple and straightforward. Clean means no mess and I think it is easy to apply the thought of clean into your diet. Food that is clean contains no pesticides and it is not pre-made. It is not processed and does not come in a meal- in -a -box. Clean eating is fresh ingredients and mostly home prepared.
Instinctively most people know what it takes to eat well. When I ask my clients how they should be eating, all of them respond with the correct answers. They all say: less sugar, less dairy, no processed foods, no snack foods like chips and cookies, no soda pop, lean proteins, more water, more fruit, more fiber, and more veggies. See, it is not brain science.
I can help you lose five pounds before Thanksgiving. Eat Clean. No processed foods at all! Cut out soda and sugary drinks. Eat less flour, sugar, and dairy. Eat more vegetables and lean protein. Eat regularly throughout the day. Sounds simple doesn't it? I have found most people want a plan. They want a step-by-step process that details a plan of action. Tosca Reno has this plan. Her Eat-Clean Diet is a comprehensive series of books and recipes to assist anyone in eating clean. There is also a website that outlines the whole plan and is very user friendly.
Tosca does not count calories on this eating plan. So that should take some worry away. Try it out for a week or two. I would bet that you will drop five pounds before Thanksgiving if you start tomorrow. Eating clean for two weeks before the 'Big Day' shouldn't be too difficult. You will find that since you have been eating clean, you won't be able to gorge as much on turkey day- your body won't allow it.
