Got the Green Light: Eating Clean

A few weeks ago (been a bit busy lately) I got the green light to starting eating clean rather than the strict, strict diet. This was great news until my trainer also mentioned "no sugar, bread or pasta" which is a bit stricter than simply eating clean. So I ran to the store only to discover most things were still off limits. On the other hand, being able to add a variety of veggies, rather than just broccoli and green beans) and fruit, though this is limited to one per day, was a real boost.

I've found a few recipes that are tasty...here is my favorite for lunch. Sometimes I sneak a piece of Eziekel bread and though I normally don't eat egg salad or cottage cheese, I will admit this is pretty good: Eat Clean Egg Salad from Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet Cookbook.

The diet change was just what I needed to stay on track and keep my eye on the goal.

This is when you'll find ways you've never thought possible to be creative with eating.

You're on the home stretch.

best of luck,
