Clean eating doesn’t mean


brushing the dirt off the Ho-Ho you just dropped on the floor, nor does it mean washing the grime off your hands before you dive into your chili cheese fries— though you definitely should do both.


When you eat “clean,” you eat food that is as close as possible to how it occurs in its natural state. For example, you eat the potato, not the potato chip. Once you start changing the quality of a naturally grown food by adding preservatives to extend its shelf life, or artificial flavors to change its taste, you rob yourself of all the nutritional value food can provide and end up doing your body more harm than good. Food is energy, and bad food can’t deliver good energy. You have to give your body the clean fuel it needs to perform. No mat- ter how hard you try, you can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet.
