6 Great ways to eat clean and lose more weight
Eating 'clean' means choosing to eat your food in as fresh and natural a state as possible
This is (obviously) a better choice for general health and weight loss due to the number of harmful substances and processes to which refined foods are subjected. Eating 'clean' also means that you get loads of healthy vitamins and minerals from your foods – because they aren’t ruined by processing.
Clean eating will help you lose weight and boost your overall health.
Here are six great ways to start adding more “clean” foods to your diet today:
1. Pick whole foods
Looking at the fruit snack bars? Why not get a couple of real fresh fruits?
Looking at the packaged soya mince? Choose a packet of beans or lentils instead.
Got your eye on the chicken nuggets? Rather eat real chicken.
Choose the least-processed option. Eat the real thing rather than its man-made approximation.

2. Eat whole grains
Refined carbs like white bread lose tons of nutrients and fibre as they are processed. They are also often packed with fat, salt and sugar.
Instead of eating refined carbs, opt for whole grains like barley, brown or wild rice, popcorn, oatmeal and wholewheat bread and pasta.
Making this change has been shown to make a dramatic impact in health and dieting success.
