This principle of nutrition is based on the theory of healthy and empty calories: the creators of the “clean nutrition” system divide all products into two groups: some are filled with vitamins and trace elements, while others consist of empty calories that bring nothing to the body but excess weight and problems with health.
The group of products with empty calories includes buns, pizza, pies, hamburgers, sweet soda, fried sausage and the like, as well as food containing preservatives, dyes, flavors: there is practically nothing useful for the body, and there are many calories.
Healthy calories are found in whole grain flour products and bran bread, vegetables, fruits, legumes, dairy products and hard cheeses, cottage cheese, lean meats and fish, nuts, unrefined butter.
In addition to including foods with healthy calories in your diet, the creators of the “clean eating” system also recommend that you adhere to the following rules:
- Eat 5–6 times a day, approximately every 2–4 hours, while portions should be small.
- Meals should be balanced and combine proteins (chicken, fish, soy or legumes) and carbohydrates.
- Be sure to include fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet and drink at least 2 liters of water per day.
- Eat foods with the “right” fats: nuts, fish, seeds and cereals.
- Completely exclude fast food from your life, and the food you eat should be minimally processed.
Starting to eat according to the Eat-Clean system, in two weeks you will feel much better, your sleep will become stronger and healthier, the condition of your skin and nails will improve, and those extra pounds will begin to disappear.
