Achieving Balance: Eat Clean

What if I told you I had a little secret that would help you lose weight, improve energy levels and promote healthy skin and hair? No, it is not another infomercial touting a new product to buy, but a simple concept that anyone can benefit from: eat clean!

Eating clean refers to eating food in its most natural state. Clean foods are natural “whole” foods; they are not man-made or processed. Clean foods do not contain any sugar, bad fats (such as hydrogenated and Trans fats), white flour or any unnecessary artificial ingredients or preservatives. By eliminating refined, man-made food from your diet and replacing it with clean foods, you will notice remarkable changes in your body and overall health.

Symptoms such as headaches, bad breath, fatigue, joint aches/ pains and digestive problems are your body’s way of letting you know that it would benefit from eating clean. If you have been consuming a less than ideal diet your body is working overtime trying to process all the toxins that you consume. Our bodies are quite efficient at detoxing on a regular basis and this process occurs continually through eliminating, sweating and urinating. Unfortunately, due to the abundance of supersized unnatural food in the standard North American diet, toxicity occurs, resulting in the above-mentioned symptoms and a myriad of other health related illnesses.

The concept of eating clean is not that difficult once you understand the basic principles and learn how to fit it into your life. It is important to:

• drink plenty of fresh water throughout the day (a little freshly squeezed lemon juice will enhance the flavour and help detoxify your body);
• consume lean protein (egg whites, chicken, and salmon) along with a complex carbohydrate (vegetable, whole grains) with each meal or snack;
• eat food in its most natural state;
• Eat every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism revving.

Eating clean is a lifestyle, not a diet; you can and should eat this way for the long term. It does require some extra planning and organizing but once you understand basic meal and snack combinations, it becomes quite easy. Interestingly, you will find that you will be able to consume more food while eating clean.

If you believe that you would benefit from clean eating, please contact me for advice on meal planning and simple tips to incorporate this concept into your daily life. This is the perfect time of the year to “spring clean” your body and be able to enjoy the benefits.

Teen Nutrition

A new program designed specifically for teens to get them started on healthy eating patterns. Teenagers have high demands placed on their bodies, therefore good eating habits and healthy food choices are especially important for this age group. The program will be fun, educational and specific to what teens and their parents would like to learn. Topics include: the basics of nutrition, the connection between what they eat and how it affects their bodies (acne, mood, healthy hair…), the best fast foods, eating disorders, and simple recipes for good health. The importance of the link between good nutrition and academic & sporting performance will also be covered. So contact our Nutritionist to find out how you can get started!
