Here are some common questions about clean eating:
What is it?

Simple answer, a lifestyle in which 80% of the nutrients ingested in the body are whole foods, non-processed and fresh.
Do I only eat veggies and fruits?
NO! Clean eating is the elimination of the majority of processed foods from your diet. Yes veggies and fruits are staple foods in a clean lifestyle but so are proteins, grains, starches and diary.
Is clean eating a fad diet?
NO! This is a lifestyle. It requires meal planning and preparation weekly to be successful. The goal is to create a clean lifestyle that works for you, that can be sustained for a LIFETIME and does not deprive you of the foods you love! No dieting here!
Can I eat out and still maintain a clean lifestyle?
ABSOLUTELY! In fact, I work with my clients to ensure that they are NOT depriving themselves of "treats" as long as these are at a maximum of ONE TIME PER WEEK!! Check this out for more information about dining out!

Will clean eating keep me full?
This lifestyle is more supportive to our digestion functionality than any other way of eating. You body was designed to break foods down that are not processed. Many people report having higher energy, less cravings and feeling satiated with this lifestyle. Why? You are eating throughout the day to fuel your metabolism (roughly every 2-3 hours).
How do I get started?
I recommend speaking with a coach and determining what a good nutrition plan for you is. This is based off your individuals goals and nutrient requirements. Although the list of ingredients is the same for anyone who wants to eat clean, the amount of foods and timing of nutrient ingestion are specific to each individual.
How do I make this lifestyle long term?
1. Change your mindset! This is not a diet, is not based off starvation nor a short term solution.
2. Find support from a coach! Coaches are there to assist you in developing a meal plan, supporting you when the times get rough and to provide you with tips on how to remain successful so you can reach your goals. Click HERE for more information on how I can be YOUR COACH.
3. Know what your goals are! Do you want to lose large amount of weight, build muscle, improve cardiovascular function or just rid yourself of CRAP? These goals are unique to you and you guessed it, will determine your clea
4. Rid your kitchen of tempting not so good for you shit. I know this is like throwing money away and trust me when I began my clean eating lifestyle the idea of throwing away over $100 of food irritated me. My coach said to me "Lauren, if you wanna meet your goals you have to make tough decisions to aid you in success. That means get rid of it!" So I literally took mt trash can to both my fridge and pantry and did a clean sweep. Yes it was bare after that first clean through but now my fridge is stocked with the essentials I need.
5. Know that you will slip, fall off the wagon, have frustrations, be tempted and want to give up. This is NORMAL and necessary for progress. If creating this lifestyle was EASY than everyone would live this way and the US would not be faced with the highest (and down right horrific) rate of obesity in the world!
