<\/div>\n

\"It\u2019s been almost a year now since I joined the 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span>I have never really strayed from the plan during that time. <\/span><\/h3>\n

I truly had just decided I was sick of being unhealthy and overweight, and I was ready to make the change that my body wanted.<\/strong> I have eaten more (quantity) than I really needed from time to time, but I have consistently made clean food choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first couple of weeks when I started the 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge<\/a><\/strong>, I had to learn how to choose healthy proteins, carbohydrates and fats. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Susan's First Transformation Update - 17 Pounds Down in Her First 30 Days!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I still keep lists on the refrigerator! But as soon as I started branching out and making different recipes from the CFC website all the time, it just became a way of life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Susan Enjoying a Hike in Colorado<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

It feels so good to know I am treating my body well! <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Clean eating has restored my energy and has helped me to enjoy a more active lifestyle without even making a conscious effort<\/strong>. And I have to admit it was fun buying new, smaller clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest change, of course, is the fact that I lost 55 pounds. Most of that I lost in the first six months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Susan's Second Transformation Update - 45 Pounds Down in Under 6 Months!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And during that time, my doctor told me that I was no longer prediabetic!<\/strong>\u00a0 Now I have just been working to maintain it and incorporate other activities to increase my strength, balance and overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n

I became an annual member around the beginning of 2022.<\/strong> I follow conversations closely on Facebook, and appreciate having a steady stream of recipes, positive reinforcement and encouraging words every day. It keeps me focused on what matters!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been an exerciser, but now I go to a Pilates class about five days a week, and I enjoy moving more than I ever have!<\/strong>\u00a0 I definitely have more vitality now at 63 than I did in my 50s!<\/span><\/p>\n

Susan Today, Down 55 Pounds and Still CRUSHing it!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

I have been shocked by how easy it has been to lose weight and get healthy with the Challenge. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f I have tried quite a few of the brand-name diet programs, but I always gained weight back<\/strong> at the end, or I got frustrated because nothing was happening fast enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f The CFC staff, Facebook challenge groups and website recipes have made it easy and totally sustainable!<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f I haven\u2019t gained a pound in six months now, and I have no desire to go back to eating the junk I used to eat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f I love the traditional holiday meals, but it has been pretty easy to clean them up!<\/strong> Sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes; carrots with honey instead of sugar. There are plenty of yummy CFC holiday recipes to choose from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best parts of CleanFoodCrush are the yummy recipes on the website, and the support<\/strong> provided by the Facebook page administrators and staff. You all are great!<\/span><\/p>\n

My two best friends joined shortly after I did, and we have a great time planning meals and sharing meals together.<\/strong> We are always sending each other pictures of what we made for dinner or breakfast!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Join the Challenge. Your body is going to thank you! <\/strong><\/h2>\n

I have learned that my body craves nutrition, clean and healthy foods, and yours does, too<\/strong>! It will respond with more energy, less fat and a whole new outlook on life. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t delay! Better living can start right now!\"<\/strong><\/p>\n
