Your Rules

Eat Clean Diet Rules *

1. 6 small meals per day. try to space them about 2 1/2 - 3 hrs apart.
- at first you won't feel hungry- get used to smaller portion sizes!

2. Don't forget breakfast! Try to eat within an hour of waking up.
- again, had to start by forcing it, I was never a "morning eater"- but its a must! 

3. Make your last meal 3 hours before bed.

4. Eat a combo of lean protein and complex carbs each day

5. Eat sufficent healthy fats everyday.
- I prefer cocnut oil,  extra virgin olive oil and flaxseed oil- don't cook flax oil

6. Drink 2-3 liters of water each day

7. Carry a cooler packed with clean foods.
- how many times do we get hungrey the second we smell a fast food place?!

8. Depend on fresh fruits and vegtables for fiber, vitamins and enzymes.
- generally, aim for 25-30 grams of fiber per day

9. Adhere to portion sizes.
- switch to your smaller plate. Also, serve your food, put left overs away and then eat. You won't want to pull that food back out to get seconds

10. Eat only foods that have not been overly processed or doused in chemicals, saturated fats, trans fats and toxins.


* These rules are from the Eat Clean Diet, thru Robert Kennedy publishing and Tosca Reno. Smaller text is mine :)
