Happy New Year Fit Tribe, 2017 is here! Resolutions have been made, but once the champagne flutes are back on the shelf, who's making those a reality. Apparently only 8% of people commit to their New Year's Resolutions.

I’ve developed what I call ‘Fit foodie filosophies’ that will help you achieve your clean eating resolutions, and the best part about it is, you will never feel overwhelmed or wonder where to start. It’s all layed out for you.

 

1) Learn the language of labelese: You may not be fluent in another language but learning how to read ‘labelese’ or the language of labels can help you navigate the grocery store aisles to save your health. There are over 14,000 additives used in commercially prepared foods today. Some are far more complicated and potentially dangerous. Ones to make note of are the artificial preservatives and flavors that have been linked to cancer, toxicity to the nervous system and other ill side effects. These include BHA, BHT, EDTA, sodium benzoate, nitrates, nitrites and monosodium glutamate, among others.

 

2) Ditch the diet mentality: The key to a balanced diet is not to diet. Why would we ever be motivated to stick to something that begins with DIE? Diet comes from a place of deprivation and restriction. Being too restrictive, not eating enough of the right foods and eating too little can all sabotage your efforts to get healthy and maintain the proper weight and body fat levels. I created a macronutrient-proportioned meal plan that helps people balance their food intake called the Eat Cleaner Meal Prep Club
for that reason. When you eat cleaner, you are focusing on fresh and living sustainably to feed your body to the core – and that just makes everything feel good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) Join the hydration nation: Ahhh, water. You can live for weeks without food, but without water, your body will shut down in just a few days. It’s that important. Every metabolic function your cells perform requires hydration, including digestion, so strive to drink half your body weight in ounces every day. Keep clean water available sustainably in your kitchen at all times by using a water filter on your sink or refrigerator, a filtered pitcher or a water delivery service instead and fill your own reusable bottles to help cut down on plastic.

 

 

4) Kick the sugar habit : Fresh fruit is nature’s sweet, grab a handful of strawberries or berries for a sweet treat. If your sugar craving needs more drastic measures, dip the fruit in dark chocolate, which is good for you with antioxidants. 70% dark is low sugar and boasts the most chocolate health benefits. The way to prevent this craving is to increase protein intake, which is a slower burning fuel. Often times we feel we need sugar, because it’s a quick energy source. Eating a proper protein will satiate
your energy needs for a longer period of time, without the crash that comes with energy from sugar. For the average person who is moderately active, I recommend that you eat half your body weight in protein in grams. For example, a person weighing 150 lbs, should consume 75 grams of protein daily. Clean energy sources of protein include 20 grams from a natural protein supplement, and eggs have 8-10 grams. Protein helps curb sugar desire. The reason to cut the sugar addiction, even if you’re ‘burning’ off the calories? Consuming too much processed sugars increases one’s risk for diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and excess body fat. Those with a predisposition to health issues should be especially careful, can put you over edge on sugar related illnesses. Highs and lows of energy from sugar can decrease productivity and hurt your mood, and disrupt healthy sleep patterns. And the most scary sugar risk, is that sugar actually feeds cancer cells.
