What Does "Clean Eating" Really Mean?
The phrase "clean eating" gets thrown around a lot, but here's the deal.

You may have heard the term, but what is clean eating? Arielle Haspel discusses her 5 simple rules about what we can eat, rather than what we can’t eat.
Clean eating rule number 1: Choose organic whenever possible. You can have cheese and you can have meat, but make sure that it’s organic and grass-fed when possible. Look for labels that say pasture-raised and certified humane.
Clean eating rule number 2: Don’t forget to drink water. Clean eating isn’t only about what you eat, it’s also about what you drink. It’s all about what you are putting in your body.
Clean eating rule number 3: Read labels. Just because it says ‘healthy’ on the outside, doesn’t mean that it’s going to make you feel healthy on the inside. You can have pasta and you can have bread, but make sure you read the ingredients. If you can’t pronounce it, think twice about putting it into your body. Say no to white sugar, white flour and processed oils like canola, vegetable and soy bean oil.
Clean eating rule number 4: Choose healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil and coconut oil. You can also eat lean organic meats and wild fish.
Clean eating rule number 5: Practice portion control. By chewing well and sitting down while you eat, you may eat slower and help prevent overeating. You can still eat the foods you want, and not feel deprived. Get excited for a cleaner, happier and healthier you!

[SOUND] We've all heard of clean eating,
but,
00:03.213 --> 00:07.230
depending on who you ask,
it means something different.
00:07.230 --> 00:10.411
So in this episode,
we're gonna talk about our philosophy.
00:10.411 --> 00:14.100
I'm Arielle Haspel, and
welcome to Clean Eating.
00:15.560 --> 00:17.100
In these episodes of Clean Eating,
00:17.100 --> 00:20.660
we're gonna talk about what we can eat,
rather than what we can't eat.
00:20.660 --> 00:23.460
Here are our clean eating rules.
00:23.460 --> 00:24.570
Number 1.
00:24.570 --> 00:27.030
Choose organic whenever possible.
00:27.030 --> 00:29.040
You can have cheese,
you can have meat, but
00:29.040 --> 00:32.510
make sure that it's organic and
grass-fed when possible.
00:32.510 --> 00:36.270
Look for labels that say
pasture-raised and certified humane.
00:36.270 --> 00:37.250
Number 2.
00:37.250 --> 00:39.770
Don't forget to drink water.
00:39.770 --> 00:41.880
Clean eating isn't only
about what you eat.
00:41.880 --> 00:43.740
It's also about what you drink.
00:43.740 --> 00:46.220
It's all about what you
are putting into your body.
00:46.220 --> 00:48.770
So even if you're eating as
much kale as possible, but
00:48.770 --> 00:51.010
you're drinking that sugary nonsense.
00:51.010 --> 00:52.470
Your body is not gonna love you.
00:52.470 --> 00:55.400
So make sure you drink plenty of water.
00:55.400 --> 00:57.840
Be your own nutrition detective.
00:57.840 --> 01:00.560
So number three is read labels.
01:00.560 --> 01:03.000
Just because it says healthy
on the outside doesn't
01:03.000 --> 01:06.350
mean that it's gonna make you
feel healthy on the inside.
01:06.350 --> 01:07.120
You can have pasta.
01:07.120 --> 01:07.970
You can have bread.
01:07.970 --> 01:10.510
But just make sure you
read those ingredients.
01:10.510 --> 01:13.640
If you can't pronounce it, think twice
about putting it into your body.
01:13.640 --> 01:17.410
And say no to white sugar, white flour and
01:17.410 --> 01:21.720
processed oils like canola, vegetable,
and soy bean oil, no, no, no.
01:23.160 --> 01:27.270
Number 4,
choose healthy fats like avocado, nuts,
01:27.270 --> 01:30.310
seeds, and olive oil and coconut oil.
01:30.310 --> 01:34.520
Also, you can eat those lean
organic meats and wild fish.
01:34.520 --> 01:35.150
Number 5,
01:35.150 --> 01:39.620
practice portion control, by chewing
well and sitting down while you eat.
01:39.620 --> 01:44.100
It will help you eat slower, and
it will help prevent you from overeating.
01:44.100 --> 01:45.290
See, that's not so bad.
01:45.290 --> 01:49.300
You can still eat the foods that you want,
and not even feel deprived.
01:49.300 --> 01:50.680
I'm Arielle Haspel.
01:50.680 --> 01:54.430
Get excited for a cleaner,
happier, and healthier you.
01:54.430 --> 02:00.789
