Clean eating: Athletes are doing it. Celebs are doing it. Dogs are doing it. Even the cavemen did it!
The term, ‘clean eating’ is the biggest, greatest buzzword in health these days but the truth be told the concept is as old as dirt.
At the end of the day all it really means is to eat foods as close to the way nature delivered them as possible.

The reason we reach for junk food to mend a broken heart, ease a high-demand job, or quell our fears is physiological and evolutionary. Those are some pretty serious motivators – so let’s start by getting educated and creating a game plan for what to do instead of leading up on the carbs, fat and calories.
No matter how loudly your mind and body scream, “FEED ME CRAP!” you know that a stress binge will leave you feeling sluggish, defeated and chubby.
