Eating clean is a concept that has been around for many years and has recently gained tremendous momentum. It combines three aspects of healthy eating: balanced overall nutrition, emphasis on unprocessed foods, and healthy food preparation. While many Americans recognize the dangers of a diet heavy in processed foods, weaning themselves off such a diet can seem an overwhelming commitment. The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Eating Clean shows readers how to change their eating habits one step at a time, without breaking their budgets or sacrificing taste. Beginning with the benefits of eating clean, the book provides a new look at how to eat, what to eat (and what not to eat), and how to prepare foods for maximum benefit.
