Every year millions of people resolve to lose weight starting on January 1. And every year most of those folks feel like failures around February 1 because they couldn’t stick to their new diet routine.

I totally get it.

Clean Eating

A clean eating diet helps you lose fat and weight while increasing your energy and overall well-being. Other benefits include skin clarity, hair strength, and sleep quality. As a thirty something year old with three kids I needed help with all of those! Especially sleep!

Clean eating is more of a lifestyle than a diet. Nothing is strictly off limits, which is probably one of the reasons the clean eating diet is so popular. Simply put, clean eating means choosing to eat more natural foods and less processed ones.

Can You Lose Weight By Eating Clean?

By eliminating unhealthy processed foods, fast food, and other junk foods and replacing them with nutrient-dense foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats will result in better overall health and well-being as well as weight loss.

By committing to a clean eating lifestyle, you can lose an average of 3 pounds or more per week – depending on how much weight you have to lose.

Ready to start living clean eating style? Here are a few of my favorite healthy recipes to help you start.

Most of these are easy to prepare with ingredients that can be found in any local store. (Since I’m living it up in a small town I don’t even consider recipes that call for specialty items. My apologies to the foodies. My three-kid lifestyle prevents me from traveling for groceries!)

You’ll find 50 easy, healthy meals here for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks-all perfect if you’re just starting a clean eating diet!

It's a balanced diet that focuses on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and protein. It also encourages you to control portion sizes. And it doesn't ban any food groups.

What are 5 clean meals a day? ›

What should be the biggest meal of the day for weight loss? ›

What do 10 days of clean eating actually do to your body? ›

You can revitalize and transform the most important areas of your life – physical health, energy and vitality – if you commit to our 10-Day Diet Challenge. You will not only lose weight, feel better and experience greater energy, but you'll have a renewed sense of excitement, joy and possibility.

What time should I stop eating at night to lose weight? ›
