If you don't recognize an ingredient, your body won't either.

One of the easiest ways to eat clean is to eat only what you recognize as a true food source from nature. Not a chemical derivative of a food or a chemically-produced substance, but real food. A good rule of thumb is if your Grandmother wouldn't recognize it, you shouldn't eat it. Your body will look at it, consider it, and put it into stores...usually as sugar or fat. This is less than ideal, right? Because it might be enriched with nutrients, but how bioavailable is it?  I like to eat mostly 'single-note foods'...ex. apples, eggs, spinach, beef, you get the idea. Not so much eggs with added omega-3's or enriched products, more of the foods you could grow in your own yard. It's the easiest way to eat clean, and to keep extra weight off. So the next time you eat some powdered, processed product ask yourself, "What is this crap anyway?". Think about it. :)
