And so it begins...Day 1 of Eating Clean!
It's time for a BIG change. And not just some fad diet, I'm talking about a lifestyle change.
Last January, I started the Ideal Protein diet. It was really hard but it did work. I lost 30 lbs in
about 4 months. However, I was thinner but still not where I wanted to be. The diet is too
restricting to stay on for a long period of time so I tried following the maintenance program
and working out. It worked for a while but once football season came around all bets were off.
There wasn't much dieting and I gained about 8-10lbs back. This January I tried IP again but
couldn't stick with it. I wanted to get fit and it's very difficult to workout while on IP. Your body
just doesn't have enough fuel to sustain you through a workout. Time to find plan B...
I did some research and found a blog called He and She Eat Clean. I read their stories and
saw the results. I knew this is what I wanted to do. What I love most about their blog is they
list all the recipes, shopping lists, and workouts for a clean lifestyle. If you want to check it
