Clean eating is a buzz word.
But, really what's it mean?!
It's pretty simple...clean eating is about eating whole foods aka "real" foods. This means foods that are un- or minimally processed, refined, and handled, making them as close to their natural form as possible.
Why eat clean?
Pretty simple answer, again! You'll feel amazing. Without putting preservatives and processed carbs in your body, you will have energy, clarity of the mind, and slim down naturally.
Interested in trying it out?
I offer a FREE 5-Day Online Clean Eating Results Groups the first week of EVERY MONTH.
What's this "results group" ALL about?!
I provide grocery lists, meal plans, and the support for you to be successful.
If a grocery list and meal plan seem too restrictive to you, I give you a thorough list of "clean" foods and help you design your own plan!
Happy to help and support you and your family toward a healthier lifestyle!! Message me at nrf026@beachbodycoach.com to get started this Monday, November 3rd.
"Life is not about perfection; it's about becoming better with each day." This is exactly what I tell my clients as they embark on their fitness journeys with me. I teach live group exercise classes, coach at-home workout programs, and offer various nutrition support. If you are ready to get better and healthier through any or all of these vehicles for improved health, contact me @ nrf026@beachbodycoach.com for a free consultation.

Financial Fitness Spotlight: Choose Meatless Protein Sources
Foods like beans, lentils, etc. are wonderful protein sources and are also extremely good for you! They’re also insanely cheap – especially if you buy them dry and in bulk (although canned is pretty cheap also).
Switch to meatless a couple of nights a week and your health and wallet will thank you!
**I do this often-- I'll swap cottage cheese on my salad instead of meat! Try it!
