My Own Journey to Clean Eating

After SERIOUS research I finally decided to start eating clean. I knew this was the beginning to a hard but rewarding journey, however, I did have one major concern: How was I going to change a 17 year old habit? I mean of course I tried this before but I never got very far because so many things were getting in my way, but there was something different about this time. I finally formulated a plan that would work for me. Clean eating blogs and websites help so much but never really touch on the fact that you will make mistakes the first few weeks, I sure did. The beginning stages of changing your diet is always left in the unknown, but I'm here to explain the raw and uncut version of what really goes on. I decided that starting off with a completely paleo diet (a diet based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans, consisting chiefly of meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit, and excluding dairy or grain products and processed food. AKA NO PRESERVATIVES) would to hard for me. Instead, I am working step by step toward cleaning out my diet and eventually eating a rigorous paleo diet. Instead of following specific diets online, I made my own based on my strengths and weaknesses and I truly believe this helped a lot. So whether you want to jump right into it or take baby steps, you can use the steps on my next post to make your own plan.
