There are so many reasons to eat clean but my favorite reason is this first one:

• 80% of what you look like is due to what you are eating

When I first heard this I was SHOCKED. I mean, I knew it was important to eat right but I had always believed that exercising was a lot more important than what I put in my mouth. So I decided to actually put it into practice and see what happened. I had been working out regularly for about 9 months but I hadn't really cleaned up my diet. I was getting all kinds of frustrated because in 9 months I lost a whopping....2 pounds...

I know something was wrong because I was getting 6 days a week of cardio in plus lifting weights. I decided to try clean eating. And that's when the weight started to just come off. I lost between 1-2 lbs. a week over a period of about 6 months. So believe me, what you eat has a huge impact on how you look.

• Two thirds of all US adults are overweight

This is due to people eating all the wrong things. Fast food, processed food, too much sugar...it's all bad stuff. By eating clean, you eliminate anything processed. The beautiful thing about clean eating is it isn't necessary to count calories because everything you eat is all real food. If you don't eat junk then calorie counting becomes unnecessary. Pair clean eating with daily exercise and you won't be in the majority of adults with a weight problem.

• 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lifetime

It is estimated that up to half of all cancer cases could be avoided if people made changes to their lifestyle, such as stopping smoking, moderating alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy bodyweight. I firmly believe that one of the main reasons cancer rates are so high is because of the amount of processed food most people put into their bodies. Things like trans fats and high fructose corn syrup are absolutely deadly for the body. Clean eating eliminates all man made chemicals and replaces them with healthy, natural REAL food.

Mrs. Gregory  - I completely agree...   |2010-05-21 07:05:55 I was looking for new, healthy recipes when I came across clean eating. I was intrigued by how the foods you eat could so drastically impact the way you live. I didn't dive in all at once but slowly began to overhaul my diet with clean foods. Within a week I was sleeping better, waking up more refreshed, I had more energy, and I never felt bloated or weighed down.I even lost 5 pounds without trying! Life got a little hectic and I stopped monitoring my food- getting fast-food when convenient, having lots of pasta and fried foods for dinner. Within a couple days I began to fell sluggish, tired, and bloated. After about two weeks of eating like that I knew I had to go back to eating clean. You cna never imagine how much your food can impact the way you feel until you learn to put only healthy, nutritious foods into your body. Its a lifesytle change you will never want to give up on.

Andi  - So true!     |2011-09-10 14:19:24 I was the same with the exercise and eating what I wanted. Now, I'm so addicted to eating healthy! I wish more people would give it a try and see how much better they feel. Reply | Quote 0   0

rane   |2012-03-08 15:35:23 I just found your web site. I believe in eating clean but just can't seem to get my &^%$ together and get organized enough to do it regularly. It takes planning and time. Any tips? Especially need cooking ahead and freezing ideas. Reply | Quote 0   0

Andi     |2012-03-26 01:48:40 Rane- I'm not always good with planning or cooking ahead either, but is is so important. If you're not funny about leftovers, make up some healthy meals and eat them over the next 3 days. I usually make 18 scrambled pastured eggs for my family of 4, which lasts us about 4 days. Keep easy snacks on hand too like beef sticks or jerky from a local meat store. Nuts, seeds, and dried fruits are good to keep on hand too. Just make bigger batches of the foods you prepare, so it will last you longer. Some of it may even be freezable to save for future meals. Reply | Quote 0   0
