Clean Eating Internet Resources

Switching to a clean eating lifestyle can be a challenge. Especially if, like me, you are trying to lose a large amount of weight. At the start of my journey, I had 114 pounds to lose, and I can tell you that the process of changing the way you approach food is often not as easy as picking up a Tosca Reno book or getting a recipe off a blog. So where else can you find help and support?

While this is still a work in progress for me, I’m slowly learning new things every day and changing the way I approach life, food and exercise.

One of the things that has helped me is knowing where to turn for help, guidance and information. Here are some of the resources I’ve found the most helpful.

FOOD RESOURCES

Grain Sweetened Chocolate Chips By Sunspire
- Several of my recipes call for Grain Sweetened Chocolate Chips. My local Whole Foods Market carries these, but I’ve also seen them in bulk in some stores. I should mention that these do contain Soy Lecithin, which I believe is a processed ingredient. For some, just plain chocolate chips (dark chocolate) would be a better choice for a clean eating lifestyle (depending on the ingredients). For me, this is the better choice due to my issues with blood sugar. We all make our choices about what we cheat with from time to time. The choice is up to you.
