    Introduction

    A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.

    Congratulations! You’ve made the decision to become more informed and educated about living your healthiest life. The clean lifestyle helps you to take control of your health and move toward positive improvements like increased energy levels, better focus, fewer illnesses, and more vitality. The key points of clean eating are simple to apply to everyday life once you understand them and why they’re important.

    If You Can’t Get It from Nature, You Shouldn’t Eat It. This is the basis of the entire eating clean lifestyle. Think about it: There is no such thing as a Twinkie tree or a potato chip bush. Your main goal is to eat foods as close to their natural state as possible. This is the easiest guide to what foods should and shouldn’t be included in your clean daily meals. Even foods that may seem like healthy options — like fruit juices and dried fruit — can be sugary pitfalls that lack the full nutrition available in the actual whole fresh fruits.

    Consuming natural whole foods helps you get the maximum benefit from every calorie consumed. There is a major nutritional difference between 200 empty calories from a cookie, a slice of cake, or a handful of processed potato chips and 200 calories of fresh fruits, colorful veggies, or lean protein. By sticking to natural foods, you can make sure that you’re getting the most out of every bite.

    Most people scratch their heads at the concept of eating often. You may think that three square meals a day is the healthiest way to eat, or that more food equals more fat. However, research has shown that smaller, more frequent meals benefit the body far more than the archaic three meals a day plan. Spreading your daily calories out between five to six meals and snacks every two to three hours plays a major role in the clean lifestyle. Smaller, more frequent meals reduce hunger, provide constant fuel for your body, and limit excess calories that would be otherwise stored as fat.

    Contrary to the fad diets limiting fats, promoting fats, or cutting them out all together, clean eating has made one point simple: Stick to the good fats. An easy rule of thumb is to eat the un fats: monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. These two types of fats, usually found in fish, nuts, and healthy oils, are heart healthy and brain healthy.

    Because everything in the Standard American Diet is supersized, all-you-can-eat, or available in bottomless bags and boxes, the average person has completely forgotten, or never truly understood, what a single serving is. As
