Sharing my tips for clean eating, what it means, and what it?s all about.
Hi friends! Hope you?re having a lovely morning. I?m excited about today?s blog post topic because I have a lot to say. ?
Today we?re talking about “clean eating.”
This phrase has become popular over the past 10 years or so, but there isn’t much consensus nor firm definition about what it actually means. It?s often used as a phrase to refer to a diet that?s based on eating real and minimally-processed foods. It can also mean choosing what?s considered the healthiest option from a variety of options. I?m dedicating this post to talk about what clean eating is really about (and my thoughts on this phrase!). I?m going to answer common questions about clean eating, and share tips on how to start eating clean, if that?s one of your goals.

I also *don?t like* how it can lead to good food vs. bad food labels. There is room for ALL foods in your diet, especially the ones that you love. It?s really about fueling yourself with the choices that give you energy, make you feel amazing, provide the nutrients you need, and also hug your soul...
