When you feel your diet has gone off the rails, it’s always helpful to have a healthy guide. It’s why you need this clean-eating meal plan to revive your health habits. This pro-health meal plan combines whole foods like grains, vegetables, fruits, smoothies, and meat and fish recipes to a total of 1,200 calories.
This meal plan comprises mainly lean proteins, whole grains, healthy fats, and tons of fruits and vegetables. And it’s designed to ensure you dodge foods that clog your system. (added sugars, refined carbs, and hydrogenated fats, etc.).You should note, of course, that the plan is adjustable to your preference at any stage. And you can also consider this meal plan as a starting point or guide to building a healthy habit, especially for beginners.
This clean-eating diet plan is rich in vitamins, healthy fats, high proteins, and fibers. And its daily intake is excellent for reducing body weight. The combination of high fibers and high proteins in the diet plan allows your body to stay for a full day without feeling starved. And its regular inclusion of fruits like oranges, apples, bananas, and clementine means more vitamins and minerals find their way into your daily intake.
The clean eating meal plan easily contends with the clean keto diet, as the meal plan discourages ingredients with added sugars or trans fat. Plus, it also involves more grains and offers more calories than a paleo diet. Also, if you’re a disciple of the Mediterranean diet, you won’t have problems. As both diets insist on dodging processed foods, their similar base ingredients and guidelines make them compatible.
