What is Clean Eating?
I recently read this article on the "Eat Clean Diet" and found it interesting so I thought I'd share. You can get more details and check it out for yourself at www.eatcleandiet.com.
"Okay," says Tosca. "I have to admit it. The Eat-Clean Diet isn't really a diet at all. In fact, people are always amazed at the variety and quantity of food I eat!"
Eating Clean is not about deprivation. It's not about giving up one food group or another. Eating Clean is about giving your body what it needs to thrive.
Do you have days when you lack energy? When you feel listless?
Is your hair brittle or lifeless?
Is your skin dull? Do you have blotches or dark circles under your eyes?
Eating Clean will not only help you finally lose your extra fat, it will give you:
Tons of energy
Shiny, lustrous hair
Clear, healthy-looking skin
Have you recently spent any time with young children? Makes you tired just looking at them, with all their energy, doesn't it? No more! Once you start Eating Clean you'll be racing those kids to the playground. Within days of starting this eating plan you will realize the way you were supposed to be feeling all this time. You will find a joie de vivre that you never dreamed possible.
Not only will you feel great, you'll be eating like crazy! You will never skip meals and you'll have at least two snacks a day. You will get to know which foods are the lifeblood that sustains you and makes you whole, and which foods to steer clear of because of the way they destroy your body.
You have only one body. It's yours for life. If your body spends all its time trying to rid itself of the garbage you put into it, how will it perform optimally? What you put into it dictates every moment of every day. It dictates whether you are lean, overweight, or obese. It dictates whether you have energy to spare or find yourself falling asleep at your desk. When you give your body everything it needs, it will run along so smoothly you won't even give it a second thought... that is, until you catch a glimpse of yourself in a window and think about how amazing you look.
Clean-Eating Tips:
Eat six meals a day
Drink lots of water
Steer clear of sugar and high-fat foods
Eat the food that God gave us, not the "food" that humans created in laboratories

PCOS
I was updating the "about me" information and thought I'd share some informarmation about PCOS for those who do not not of the syndrome. It is the most common endrocrine disorder found in women and is often misdiagnosed (or just missed) by medical professionals. It affects as many as 1 in 10. The following is a brief explanation of syndrome that I found at http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/pcos/a/whatispcos.htm
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects an estimated seven percent of all women. It is the most common hormonal disorder among women. According to experts, the actual number of women affected by PCOS may be as high as one out of ten simply because so many cases remain undiagnosed. Why are so many cases of polycystic ovarian syndrome undiagnosed? Because the symptoms can vary from woman to woman it is often difficult to accurately diagnose polycystic ovarian syndrome. Its symptoms are often heartbreaking both emotionally and physically.
Most women have never even heard of PCOS, yet it causes a wide variety of symptoms that often affect female reproductive health in ways that can be truly devastating. Although PCOS often affects the reproductive system, it's important to understand that it is an endocrine system disorder. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is often the cause significant long-term health consequences making a quick and accurate diagnosis, followed by proper treatment urgent.
PCOS is characterized by enlarged ovaries that contain numerous small and painless cysts. Symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome include:
Infertility
Irregular or absent periods
Excess hair growth on the face and/or body
Male-pattern hair thinning
Acne
Obesity
Lipid abnormalities
