5 Things to Do Before Your Clean Eating Challenge Starts

5 Things to Do Before Your Clean Eating Challenge Starts

Doing these 5 things will help you succeed in your Clean Eating Challenge.

1  Set a realistic goal and TELL someone about it. You don't have to tell the whole world, but tell some one you trust outside of the challenge group. Letting others know your goal makes it more real to you and improves your chance of success.

2  Clear your kitchen and pantry of any REDLIGHT foods! Don't even let there be a temptation. If you live with someone else, or even a whole family, make sure that they understand what you are doing and if possible, get rid of ALL the forbidden foods in the house. If this is not possible, designate a small cupboard or pantry area for those REDLIGHT foods that other people in your family will still eat. When the family sees your results, everyone will be ready to ditch the bad stuff.

3  Get your SPOUSE or SIGNIFICANT OTHER on board. This is vital. Even if your spouse or significant other is not interested in following the challenge with you, they will most certainly want to support you in your effort to become healthier. You may be surprised with how much they will go out of their way if they KNOW what you are trying to achieve. But they won't know unless you tell them.

4  Take photos and measurements in the week before you start. You are about to start a great journey and you can't go back and take them again later! You'll be really glad you have these in the future, even if you don't want to look at them now or show them to anyone.

5  Plan your meals ahead of time, especially dinners which tend to be more involved. Keep things simple if you like or go ahead and let your inner gourmet cook shine...just plan ahead. Here is a blog post that describes how I plan my dinners in just 20 minutes a week.
