What’s The Trick For Staying Healthy And Fit? Eating Clean

Eating clean is very important to me. Every day, I make sure I add as many good quality, nutrient rich foods to my diet. Everything I hear or read about that the experts say makes you live longer or make you healthier, I do my best to add. Things like cinnamon, chia seeds, turmeric, G-BOMBS, nuts, fish, Athletic Greens of course etc. I sneak them in wherever  can, as long as they taste good. I’m big on taste and do not like to waste calories on food that doesn’t taste good.

I eat full fat dairy, because I find it’s more satiating so I eat less of it. I eat real butter, and very little processed foods. I look for whole, natural ingredients and believe my body can metabolize these nutrients easily, which in turn makes me healthy, look good and feel good. 
I make sure that I take Vitamin D, omega 3’s with at least 600 DHA, Enzyme Q 10, every day. I was tested to see which vitamins I was deficient in before taking random supplements, and found out that because my diet is so good and my body is able to absorb the nutrients, I was only deficient in Vitamin D and my iron was a little bit low. 
I find that when I fill my day with trying to “get in” as many healthy foods as I can, I just don’t have room for crappy foods. 
That’s my trick. What’s your trick for staying healthy? Please share your comments. Your tip could help someone else reading this.
Have a happy, healthy day!
