 Simply put…Clean Eating is about moving toward a more natural way of eating. It’s not about counting calories or eliminating food groups. It is about eating more organically grown and locally sourced whole foods. It is about staying away from chemically laden foods such as processed or heavily refined foods; or meats laced with unusually high amounts of hormones and anti-biotics; or “GMO-ed” vegetables and fruits; or meat from animals kept in unsanitary confinement… I think you get the picture. Clean eating can be seen as eating food grown, harvested and raised as Mother Nature intended.

 DIET! DIET! DIET! This four letter word is everywhere, especially this time of year with all the New Year’s Resolutions.
Diets are a lot like clothes, you have to try them on to see if they fit. A "diet" that works well for someone might not work well with you. So let me help you find the right diet.
