Clean Eating is a Naturally Cleansing Diet<\/h3>\n<p>Without going on a crazy restrictive juice cleanse or eating nothing but lettuce, your body will naturally cleanse when you embark on the <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/what-is-clean-eating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clean Eating<\/a> path. Detox pathways become sluggish and blocked when the body is over inundated with processed foods and unhealthy oils. This causes the liver and kidneys to work overtime to process &#8220;foreign&#8221; substances in the body. When you start eating fresh, whole foods from organic sources wherever possible, you lighten the burden on your detox organs. Naturally, your body will begin operating better because when your organs don&#8217;t have to work so hard at fighting off the &#8220;bad&#8221; stuff, it can focus more on healing and regenerating.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9593\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Vibrant Turmeric Chicken Salad\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-wp-pid=\"9593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad-670x446.jpg 670w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Vibrant-Turmeric-Chicken-Salad.jpg 1619w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>2. You Can Lose Weight Without Exercise<\/h3>\n<p>Exercise is indeed a healthy habit to adopt, and if you have the energy and mobility to exercise you should. However, if you&#8217;re unable to exercise, or if you&#8217;re over exercising with the hopes that you&#8217;ll lose weight &#8211; rest assured, this is not the way. Cleaning up what you eat is so effective because it signals to the brain that you&#8217;re safe and well nourished. This alone will cause your whole system to relax overtime, which means pounds will naturally shed away. High-stress, <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/lose-weight-with-underactive-thyroid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hypothyroidism <\/a>and inflammation are three major root causes of weight gain, and more often than not, processed foods are a part of this equation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5972\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Avocado-Lowers-Inflammation-CleanFoodCrush-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"Avocado Lowers Inflammation\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-wp-pid=\"5972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Avocado-Lowers-Inflammation-CleanFoodCrush-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Avocado-Lowers-Inflammation-CleanFoodCrush-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Avocado-Lowers-Inflammation-CleanFoodCrush-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Avocado-Lowers-Inflammation-CleanFoodCrush-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Avocado-Lowers-Inflammation-CleanFoodCrush-600x401.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Avocado-Lowers-Inflammation-CleanFoodCrush.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. It\u2019s Naturally Anti-Inflammatory<\/h3>\n<p>Fried foods, white bread, refined sugar and vegetable oils all contribute to <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/20-ways-to-reduce-inflammation-and-water-weight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inflammation<\/a> in the body. Inflammation can result in chronic pain, weight gain, poor skin health, gut issues, digestion problems, and fatigue. Just removing these trigger foods alone can make a world of difference for anyone who wants to receive the health benefits of Eating Clean. Clean Eating works because we crowd out the bad stuff with the good stuff. When you&#8217;re well nourished and eating delicious food, cravings change overtime. This naturally causes inflammation levels to go down. Eating Clean often results in long-lasting chronic issues resolving themselves without making any other drastic changes.

Clean Eating Gives You More Energy<\/h3>\n<p>Every time you eat something, your digestive system has to put in the work to break it all down and utilize the food as a source of energy. When you&#8217;re lacking proper nutrition, the body works harder. Imagine what happens when all of a sudden you&#8217;re getting loads of proper nutrition from the food you eat, and your digestive system stops working so hard to find nutrients and distribute them. More energy! This is also true because when you consistently lack nutrition from the food you&#8217;re eating, your nutrient stores become depleted. Over the long term, this results in fatigue, brain-fog and poor hormonal health. Eating Clean is an excellent way to <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/six-ways-reduce-fatigue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recover from fatigue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4331\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rachel-maser.jpg\" alt=\"Rachel Maser Meal Prop\" width=\"741\" height=\"529\" data-wp-pid=\"4331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rachel-maser.jpg 741w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rachel-maser-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/rachel-maser-600x428.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Clean Eating Slows Down the Aging Process<\/h3>\n<p>People who eat better, look and feel better! Nourish yourself and naturally slow down the aging process with <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/the-truth-about-fat-and-weightloss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">healthy fats<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/seven-carbs-to-eat-for-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clean carb sources<\/a> and antioxidants.Processed foods and oils cause free radicals to rise in the body which can lead to cell oxidation &#8211; this means you&#8217;re more likely to look tired and worn out. The Clean Eating lifestyle is rich in nutrients and clean sources of protein that build a strong immune system, glowing skin and healthy weight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4744\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/clean-food-ingredients.jpeg\" alt=\"clean food ingredients\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-wp-pid=\"4744\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6. Clean Eating Helps Reverse Chronic Ailments<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had countless members lose weight and reverse chronic conditions just by taking the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge. Take Becky for example, who <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/reversed-pre-diabetic-status-eating-clean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reversed her pre-diabetic status<\/a>, or Carla who <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/lost-thirty-seven-pounds-and-inflammation-eating-clean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reversed chronic inflammation and lost 37 pounds<\/a> or even Billie and her son <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/lost-fifty-nine-pounds-clean-eating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who lost a combined 59 pounds<\/a> and totally transformed their health!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6824\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"15 Minute Skillet Chicken Fajitas Meal Prep\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-wp-pid=\"6824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep-670x446.jpg 670w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/15-Minute-Skillet-Chicken-Fajitas-Meal-Prep.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>7. It&#8217;s Easier to Manage (and it&#8217;s Not a Diet!)<\/h3>\n<p>Another perk of Clean Eating is that you&#8217;re not longer restricting yourself, counting calories or carrying around subtle anxiety about what you eat all day. And if you feel lost just thinking of going at it alone, we designed the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanfoodlove.com\/challenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">30 Day Clean Eating Challenge<\/a> where all of your meals are pre-planned for you for an entire month, to help you transition into the Clean Eating lifestyle with more ease! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanfoodlove.com\/challenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clean Eating is a lifestyle<\/a>, so it&#8217;s meant to transform your way of relating to food from the roots up. You learn what&#8217;s healthy and what isn&#8217;t, <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/clean-grilled-shrimp-bowls-cilantro-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to meal-prep<\/a> and how to structure a day of eating. It&#8217;s unhealthy and unsustainable to constantly track calories and expend mental energy thinking about &#8220;what not to eat&#8221; all day long. With this lifestyle, you&#8217;re invited to develop a new, enjoyable and pleasurable relationship with food and lose weight or heal while you&#8217;re at it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanfoodlove.com\/challenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4529 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/imgpsh_fullsize.png\" alt=\"30 Day Clean Eating Challenge\" width=\"675\" height=\"570\" data-wp-pid=\"4529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/imgpsh_fullsize.png 675w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/imgpsh_fullsize-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/imgpsh_fullsize-600x507.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n<!-- NgfbSharing::get_buttons content filter skipped: buttons_on_index not enabled -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clean Eating isn&#8217;t a diet, it&#8217;s a way of life.
