One-Day Clean Eating Meal Plan & Recipe Guide Rachel Maser
What is Clean Eating? Clean Eating is the habit of avoiding processed and refined food. Eat only whole foods, Avoid processed foods. Eliminate refined sugars. Eat five or six smaller meals per day. Cook your own meals at home. CLEAN EATING is a huge trend right now. It is the IN thing to do for VERY good reasons! There is not a definitive guide as to what is actually clean and what is not. It s up to the individual to decide what it truly means to them. It is now cool to find ways to incorporate more fruits & vegetables into our families diets! People are seeking out fun ideas to rely as little as possible on packaged & processed foods. Where did it come from? The truth is, it s always been around! Clean Eating means to eat REAL food. You know... the stuff our bodies need! Why is it important? Proper diet and nutrition affects every single aspect of our lives. Our health & happiness are a direct result of our diet & lifestyle.!2
! What are the benefits? I receive messages daily, detailing how this CLEAN EATING has helped families improve their health & happiness in every way possible. I m grateful to be a part of this! This movement is helping people think about what they are eating & encouraging to eat for nutritional value & fuel, rather than entertainment. It s about making better personal choices each day... What about food prepping? When I first started food prepping it took me 3-4 hours because I honestly did not know where to even start! Now it just takes me about an hour-2 at most. Unless of course I am recipe experimenting, or just enjoying my kitchen time, then it can take me a little longer! Yes, food prepping is just like working out or cleaning the house: I don t always want to do it, but I always feel SO MUCH better when I do!!3
I hope this guide helps you and shortens your learning curve.

! Late Night Snacks Late night snacking is a huge concern for many of the people I work with in our private groups. We are so busy during our day; skipping meals, by the time 8pm hits, we feel ravenous. Here are some SIMPLE ideas to stop the cycle & reach your goals! CleanFoodCrush Tips to Avoid Night-time Snacking: Avoid unhealthy late night snacks. Good HABITS and the right foods during the day will solve late night snacking: Plan ahead! Take a few minutes each night preparing your favorite healthy foods for the next day Eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day Eat a green vegetable with every meal Increase daily protein intake (some say your weight in grams of protein, especially if working out daily) PLAN for nighttime eating. Break up or space your meals so that you have one at that time of night Make sure to have post-workout protein shake or high protein meal within an hour after working out; helps with cravings later in the day and night Eat most of your carbs earlier in the day Eat more GOOD fats throughout the day Eating Clean (no processed, all whole foods) helps reduce cravings at night!13
If you want to flat-out avoid late-night eating late at night, then: Stay away from refined sugar, especially at night (increases your cravings!) Close the kitchen! Clean, light-off, STAY OUT Brush your teeth Drink a big glass of water Drink green and/or herbal teas with a squeeze of fresh lemon Go to bed: read, listen to something, whatever is relaxing but stay in bed Sit in the bathtub Go for a walk Take a probiotic at bedtime Try on & pick out an outfit for the next day Call a friend, call your Mom Chew gum Keep your hands busy: crocheting, knitting, writing, etc. Check the emotions: boredom, reward feeling after getting kids to bed, anxiety about work left to do, etc. Identify the emotion behind the urge to snack at night, sit with it a minute, then drink a big glass of water or tea instead! If you have to have something, try some popcorn. Fit one or two of these ideas into your day, make it a habit, and watch what happens If you must eat something before bed, then: Scrambled egg whites with sugar free salsa Protein shake: water or almond milk plus one scoop protein powder, stevia, cinnamon, Barlean s key lime fish oil.
