Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Libby, Nutrition is important and basically the majority of the program. When people refer to eating clean, it means following the program as it is stated in the book, meaning the authorized foods only. No cheats, or nibbles of this and that. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 It's true. Every fitness pro will tell you that great bodies are made in the kitchen. I know from experience that even if I workout like mad but eat crap, I swee no improvements in my physique. Eating clean means eating unprocessed carbs, lean proteins and good fats, skipping the saturated fats, processed (white flour) carbs and simple sugars. Clean eats include chicken, fish, oatmeal, egg whites (with the occassional yolk), fruit, veggies, beans, barley, lentils, protein powder, etc. Dani > I read somewhere that success with BFL is 80% what you eat and 20% how hard you exercise.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I printed 's shopping list off her website yesterday and took it to the grocery with me, so my cupboards and fridge are well-stocked for the week. It helps immensly that my better half is doing this challenge with me. I'm guessing that my biggest hurdle will be food boredom, so I've been on the prowl for lots of yummy BFL-safe recipes.
