7 Day Transition to Clean Eating

Have you wanted to start eating better or eating "right," but don't know where to start or how to begin? It doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. You can make a few changes, in small increments, each day over the course of a week to change the way you eat and if you stick with it...change the way you look. I didn't say it would be easy however, you will have to make sacrifices, but it can be done.
This is just a jump start list. There are so many other areas I want to cover later on in other posts. Give it a try. For seven days.. what have you to got to lose... besides weight?!

YOUR GOAL THIS WEEK:

• Incorporate fresh, clean food into your diet to allow your body to spend less time digesting and more time burning body fat.

• Gradually eliminate the foods that hinder your body and make you feel bloated, sluggish, and fat.

• Get in a workout everyday. Focus on slimming down and toning the whole body. At least 20 mins each of cardio and weight resistance training.

 

Day 1 – Eliminate toxins from your body. Drink only water today. No tea, soda, or coffee. Drink half your body weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 140 lbs, drink 70 ounces of water today. Also, consume GREEN vegetables. Make green vegetables half of each meal.

Day 2 – Eliminate Sugar. Eliminate all foods and liquids with added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Nothing with sugar in the ingredients. Fruit and vegetables are ok.

Day 3 – Get fruity…Consume at least 2 servings of fruit. Any fruit of your choice. Eat fruit raw. Have a smoothie! Use low-fat milk or almond milk, fruit, and ice. Sweeten with honey.

Day 4 – Spice it up… and eliminate excess salt! Create a meal bursting with flavor. Use spices...Mrs. Dash has some great options. Try adding onions, garlic, and/or peppers instead of adding salt for flavor.

Day 5 – Fitness Model Friday…Eliminate dairy and starchy carbs. NO milk, cheese, bread, rice, pasta or wheat. Eat lean meats like chicken, turkey or fish. (Oats, sweet potatoes, and fruit are OK.)

Day 6 – Work out, weigh in then enjoy a guilty pleasure. One guilt free meal of your choice after you weigh in. Have a dessert or indulge in a higher calorie meal. Without the Guilt!

Day 7 – Renew, Review, Relax – Sunday is Reward Day… relax after a hard week of training and clean eating. Eat clean today but take a rest day. Plan your meals for the week and shop for ingredients. Enjoy the weather and your body! Put on that suit and go lay out. ºÜº
