Cleaning Out The Fridge

I decided that if I am going to really get serious about my looking good this year, I was going to have to go back to some old habits I had back when I was living in a larger city.
The number on thing that I myself along with many of you reading this post do is we workout. What we don't do is check ourselves on our eating habits. I wanted to make sure that if I was going to really look good I had to make sure that what went inside my mouth was going to make me look good as well.
What that means to me is I am going to have to fight my addiction to sugar.
I literally cleaned out the refrigerator and left nothing but a two dozen eggs, butter and seven gallon jug of Aloe Vera Juice.
Now it's time for some clean eating like I know how to do.
That was one way when I was in the city to keep control of my blood sugar, my energy levels and my appetite. Eating clean is boring at times because I kept it basic and simple. Now it seems to be catching on thanks to Tosca Reno. I saw this book The Eat-Clean Diet: Fast Fat-Loss that lasts Forever! in Oxygen Magazine about two years ago and finally bought a copy of it. Well I followed it cause it was super easy and there were sample recipes in there as well. I even broke down and began subscribing to Clean Eating magazine which came out only a couple months a year but had the BEST pancake recipes and entire calendars worth of meals that I could just use instead of guess working it through.
So rather than trying to make this hard on my self I am going to just start doing it again.
Eating clean has not failed me ever. I lost weight and I gained muscle and energy whenever I did it.
So I know what my refrigerator is about to look like and I am ok with that. I will post some recipes later in the mean time I suggest you take a look at what you have in your fridge that you can let go of and replace with something healthy.
