Using the common sense approach to clean eating is empowering and freeing.
Most nutritionists recommend counting and tracking calories, carbs, protein, fats, activity, you name it.
Many also believe that it doesn’t matter what you eat as much as how much you eat.
The principles of how the body stores and burns calories certainly do fall true to this belief but our body is dependant upon and performs better when provided with needed nutrients.
These nutrients can have a profound effect on metabolism, DNA synthesis, immunity, energy, and weight management.
When following the clean eating principles the right way there is no need to count anything in most cases.
Clean eating is a lifestyle and has been around longer than any “diet”.
The clean eating methodology is a common-sense approach to eating.
Choosing vibrant whole foods that have been minimally processed without added sugars, salt, and additives.
It is not about restricting food but opting for food that is enjoyable and nourishes and heals our bodies.
