Tips to help you eat clean


Clean Eating!



Keep These Tips in mind to get the most out of your clean-eating plan.

 

1. EAT WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY.  If only a specific flavor, texture or food can satisfy your desire to eat, you're probably having a craving. Take a minute to get centered before packing your plate. It's like the counting to ten when you're angry. Stop, think, then eat.

 

2. STOP EATING WHEN YOU'RE FULL.  Use a hunger and fullness scale before and during your meals (one being very hungry, seven being very full)Learn to pay attention to your body and stop when you are moderately full, about a 5.5.

 

3.  FOCUS ON EACH BITE, NOT THE WHOLE MEAL.  Pause with each bite to discern the different flavors and textures. This mindset will allow you to stop eating once you reach the bite that makes you feel full.

 

4.  MINIMIZE THE DISTRACTIONS. Turn off the TV and put down the book. Give all your attention to your meals. Get all your food for the meal out. Put it on a plate. Do nothing else but eat. 

 

5.  KEEP A LOG OF HOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS IMPACT YOUR EATING.  Do you eat more in a certain place, at a certain time, around certain people? Do you binge when circumstances or happenings get out of your control? Recognize and eliminate your triggers.
