Understanding The Purpose of Clean Eating

I'm pretty sure you have heard the term "Clean Eating" by now, if not then you probably have been absent from the social world because advertisement is flooding with that term. Over the last decade, there has been an emphasis on the importance of health and fitness. Clean eating is not a new concept, the way that it's marketed is probably the difference in today's society. As with any new marketing trends, I've found that I have been applying them all along. The term of Clean Eating takes me back in time to the year 2005. That was when I really got serious about changing my eat habits. Long and behold, that road was very challenging as I began to study foods, ingredients, and how things was made. I'm still studying and researching today because we live in an ever changing world.


The one thing that stayed consistent was my desire not to quit and to continue researching. So, I definitely went through a whole lot of trials and errors and I'm grateful for that. I know that we all want the benefits of a healthy body without going through sacrifices. Trust me, if I could have skipped that process, then I would have done it a long time ago. Unfortunately, that's not the way life works, right. I'm so thankful that their are people out there who decided to do something to help educate others about eating choices. At this current time, I'm reading 2 different books that have added some additional knowledge and insight to clean eating. Those books are by Dr. Ian Smith ( The Clean 20 ) and Laila Ali ( Food For Life ). I considered myself to have enough knowledge about nutrition and fitness but that does not exclude me from learning. I'm going to continue my journey in reading and researching because I know that I don't know it all. Plus, getting a different perspective or things to try helps me to create my eating habits.

I've learned that you cannot force people to change the way they eat. That approach will backfire every time. The individual will either want to do it or choose not to. Sometimes, people will encounter a health issue that may force them to change, but the choice is still theirs at the end of the day. Upon your research, you may come across a lot of misconception so please do not give up. You will have to pray for discernment and continue on your path of learning about clean eating. Being consistent in something will definitely change in your favor one day.
