What does clean eating look like?
If you follow my Facebook page you may already have noticed a theme...FOOD! I love food and hate the whole idea of deprivation diets which usually just make me obsess about food and ultimately eat more once I start to eat 'normally' again. To keep healthy,well and maintain your weight it is important to eat well- and by that I mean clean, fresh unprocessed food.
People ask me all the time what the best diet is and my answer is always the same- there is no 'perfect' diet for anyone - it is all about tailoring or tweaking your daily needs to the individual and their goal (and that's a blog for another day I promise!). Hmm...not very helpful you're thinking?!!
So I thought it might be useful to show you in pictures a typical week of food in my life- hopefully you will see that healthy food doesn't have to mean tasteless or rabbit food!
