My Top 5 Tips for Clean Eating!

Sticking to a clean eating plan can sometimes sound difficult to do. Below I have listed my top 5 tips for successfully eating clean :-)

1. Remove all 'unclean' foods from your house! Willpower will only get you so far. Eventually a craving will come on at a moment of weakness and if there are still unhealthy foods in your fridge and pantry you are so much more likely to indulge. To prevent this from happening you need to commit to clean eating and get rid of all processed foods. This doesn't mean eat every unhealthy food in your house and then start 'clean eating'. Give the foods away and start straight away!

2. Meal Planning & Prep: This is the biggest one for me! If it is just as easy or easier to grab your clean, healthy meals than it is to grab/make something unhealthy you will be so much more likely to stick to clean eating. Put aside a few hours once a week to prep your meals for the week. Not only will this help you stick to clean eating, but it will also save you so much time during the week. I love not having to cook every evening!

3. Keep it Interesting! Try new clean eating recipes often. There are so many great websites, blogs, magazines and books with amazing clean recipes. Make sure you don't get stuck in a food rut and keep eating the same thing until you get bored and then give up. Its okay to eat your favourite clean foods but try to incorporate new recipes as well and you may stumble upon a new favourite!

4. Replace your favourite unclean foods with clean versions! If you have a favourite food that isn't clean and you think you just couldn't live without it then look for or come up with a clean version! You can google all sorts of clean alternatives for different foods. For example, clean pizza, clean ice-cream, clean chocolate cake, clean biscuits etc. and most of them taste absolutely amazing. You wouldn't believe they are actually good for you!

5. Get your whole house involved! Eating Clean will be so much easier if everyone in your house is on the same page. If you are cooking for a family, then cook clean meals for everyone. Don't make a clean meal for yourself and something different for the rest of the family. This will result in a lot of extra temptation and why not get everyone in the house on the healthy bandwagon :)

Good Luck! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below :)
