I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve all heard about the different \u201cdiet\u201d fads that are going on right now\u2026 Eating clean, juicing, detoxing, etc\u2026\u00a0 But what does it all really mean??\u00a0 According to the Huffington Post and Livestrong.com, \u201cClean eating is a diet program based on the idea that the best way to eat is to abundantly enjoy whole foods — that is, foods as close to their natural state and you can get them. This means eating fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins instead of pre-packaged, processed foods or fast food. Clean eating is also committed to replacing saturated fats with healthy fats. Many on the plan don’t count calories, but instead trust in good quality, healthy food\u201d (http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/livestrongcom\/clean-eating-5-simple-ste_b_632545.html<\/a>).
\n 
\nI, along with my fianc\u00e9 have decided to change our eating habits and move towards the clean, organic, whole foods diet which have included: a 5 day juice fast, eating as many organic and \u201cnatural\u201d foods as possible, and investing in a Vitamix blender (which I may say is pretty freakin\u2019 AWESOME!).
\n 
\nLet\u2019s start with this 5 day juice fast\u2026
\n\"Untitled\"<\/a>We have a Breville juicer at home and have been juicing for a few years, which has been great!\u00a0 It\u2019s a pain to clean, but it\u2019s nice to have fresh juice in the morning for breakfast.\u00a0 Now, what exactly have we juiced in the past?\u00a0 Our regular vegetables and fruits include: spinach, kale, apples, carrots (surprisingly one of my favorites), pears, watermelon, cantelope, and pretty much anything else I find at Sprouts on sale in the organic section!\u00a0 So, when I saw a 5-day juice fast on Living Social that took care of everything for me for a decent price, I jumped on it!\u00a0 I will say, the first two days were the most difficult, as I craved EVERYTHING!\u00a0 But once day 3 hit, it was smooth sailing.\u00a0 Not only did I have more energy, I felt great after day 5 and didn\u2019t have the urge to eat anything unhealthy!\u00a0 Since this particular 5-day juice cleanse, I\u2019ve tried the juices from another company (Detox Lounge: http:\/\/www.detoxlounge.com) and plan on doing their 3-day cleanses at least once a month.\u00a0 Their juices are way better and I think I\u2019d actually look forward to drinking the next juice!
\n 
\nNow for our every day diet\u2026
\nMany think that eating \u201corganic\u201d equates to more expensive, but in reality, there are health food stores, (Sprouts, Trader Joes, Jimbo\u2019s, Whole Foods, and Costco), who have fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. for prices even cheaper than what you would find at Vons or Albertsons.\u00a0 Sprouts has double ad Wednesday\u2019s, so there are many options on sale.\u00a0 Costco carry\u2019s many products that are organic and Jimbo\u2019s has great local produce for reasonable prices.
\n 
\nNow, what does it mean to eat organic??
\nAccording to Stonyfield (http:\/\/www.stonyfield.com\/healthy-people\/health-tips-advice\/why-eat-organic<\/a>), eating organic means less pesticides that we ingest and less pesticides for our farmers.\u00a0 For our environment, \u201cOrganic practices means livestock are kept strong, healthy and productive through good nutrition, less stress\"Untitled1\"<\/a>
\nand humane living conditions, rather than through antibiotics or injections of artificial growth hormones.\u00a0 Our soil, rivers, drinking water and air also benefit from organic agriculture, because organic practices don\u2019t contaminate them with toxic persistent chemicals.\u00a0 Organic means less dependence on fossil fuels. Organic farming practices can help reduce climate change. Converting all of America\u2019s cropland to organic is estimated to have the same carbon-reducing effect as taking 217 million cars off the road!\u201d
\n 
\nOf course, eating organic doesn\u2019t mean you have to go crazy with buying everything organic, it means, take a step and start with the dirty dozen.
