2/21/2017 Clean Eating and Portion Control - Debunking the Myth that Clean Eating Means DeprivationRead NowMost times, when people think of eating clean, they assume you can't have "normal," good food. That just is NOT the case. Eating clean just means eating whole food, closest to it natural state. You can make pretty much any thing you like with clean ingredients. I make clean mac n cheese all the time. The purpose of clean eating in itself is not weight loss - it's about health, and ridding your body of the toxins we bombard ourselves with every day. The key to health AND weightloss, is portion control.
Our portion sizes have really gotten to be outrageous. A lot of the problems with weight that many people face could probably be handled by just NOT overeating (my personal opinion). We tend to go overboard on just about everything we do. Starvation diets, binge eating, only eating meat. You name it. The weight loss aspect of that is not sustainable for your whole life. My rule of thumb is: if you can't follow the plan while pregnant or breastfeeding, it's not healthy. So, how do I deal with this problem? The Portion Control Fix system. In the system, you calculate your daily intake needs, and then you use your color coded containers to learn what a portion of that group looks like. In the plan, you get so much of each container per day, which helps make sure you're not only eating meat or veggies or fruit. You need a balanced diet for health. You're getting your 5-7 servings of fruit and veggies every day. You're eating healthy carbs, healthy fats, proteins. You can still have your "cheat meal," every week. It helps you learn to balanace your life. The cool thing about the system, is that you can use it with any beachbody program. Each program will vary slightly on how many of each container you get, but the idea of learning proper portion sizes is the same. You can do away with the containers completely once you learn how you should be eating and how much. It's an amazing lifestyle change tool. It makes the transition from eating junk to clean seamless. Trust the process, and the weight takes care of itself.
