Which Diet is Best for You?



Do the terms, Clean Eating, Gluten-Free, Low-Carb/Low Sugar and Paleo make your eyes glaze over?  

Not sure which style of diet suits you best?  

In this 4 part installment I will lay out the basics for you in bite size (pardon the pun) posts. 

Clean Eating
When you follow this particular diet you eat more natural, whole or raw foods.  If you can name the ingredients in one word it’s clean eating.  For instance; chicken breast, apple, fish, egg, black beans….etc.  You will avoid refined or processed foods.  Those frozen veggie burgers at your local grocer are processed.  Soy milk is processed.  Clean eating may also favor organic or non-GMO and sustainably produced foods.  Additives, preservatives and high-fructose corn syrup is avoided. 


Should you follow this particular type of diet, you will improve your nutritional intake because processed foods often are less nutrient-dense than whole foods.
