Try to stick with real foods, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts as much as you can. Real foods are antioxidant-rich and fiber-filled
Like it was said before, eating clean and getting fit is a multi-step process. It´s really makes sense to take one or two of your plans which you`ve noted on your "List of Change" and implement them in your daily life. Changing a habit needs approximately 3 weeks, so be patient with yourself.
