Clean Eating Explained

Clean eating focuses on whole, minimally processed foods while avoiding artificial ingredients, preservatives, and refined sugars. The goal is to eat nutrient-dense foods as close to their natural form as possible. This could involve cutting out entire food groups like dairy or grains, but Marv plans to take a more balanced approach.

While some promote extreme versions, clean eating doesn't necessarily require eliminating entire food groups or only eating "pure" foods for significant health benefits. A balanced diet with a variety of whole and minimally processed foods can be sufficient.

Marv's Clean Eating Plan 

Marv won't go to extremes but will choose foods he understands, with pronounceable ingredients. His plan includes:

• Loading up on fruits, veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats
• Choosing complex carbs like whole grains over refined grains
• Avoiding sugars, sodium, unhealthy fats
• Drinking more water, unsweetened tea instead of sugary beverages

He'll make simple swaps like veggie stir-fries over brown rice, baked salmon with roasted veggies, and turkey chili. For snacks, he'll have fresh fruits, veggies, hummus, and homemade trail mix.

Key Takeaways:

• Clean eating focuses on whole, minimally processed foods
• Avoid artificial ingredients, preservatives, refined sugars
• Marv plans a balanced approach without cutting out food groups
• Simple swaps like lean proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats
• Potential benefits: better digestion, mood, weight, disease risk
