CHALLENGE #16: 1/25 - 22 Days of Fitness & Health

Nix the processed foods. 


“The combination of little sleep and caring for baby means you need high-energy foods,” says Kimberly Altman, RD, of Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa in Miami. “The foods that will energize you best are unprocessed, whole foods that are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Try choosing vegetables, fruits, whole grains, soy or low-fat dairy products, and healthy amounts of lean protein to fill you up.” So grab your wok and saute up a quick veggie stir-fry, or put together a leafy green salad topped with tofu or grilled chicken. Low-fat plain yogurt topped with fiber-rich strawberries is also a healthy snack.

 

What are your fave non-processed foods? What was hard to give up that was processed?

    Hmm.. I'm a candy addict so that's my biggest challenge. I also really like Ritz crackers.

    My fave unprocessed foods are carrots, cucumbers, oranges, grapefruit, and alllllll berries. Yum. :)

    We have been eating clean for about a year- life changing. The hardest thing to give up is anything convenient- you can't grab something quick or get decadent coffees....but .....worth it!
