Week One



                       Welcome to your first week of clean eating. This week you will put
                       into practice the fundamental principle of the diet: You’ll eat lots of
                       fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. As you
                       make this lifestyle change, remember to keep these two guidelines
                       in mind:

                         1   Train your taste buds: This first week, you may find that
                             you have a craving for something sweet. Instead of reaching
                       for a box of cookies, try some fresh fruit or the Chocolate-Almond
                         2
                       Dip with Strawberries (page 151). You are beginning to train your
                       taste buds to enjoy natural sugars from fruits instead of artificial
                         1
                       ones found in processed foods, and it may take a couple of weeks to
                         3
                       get there.
                         2   Learn to eat all day long: To keep your metabolism going
                         4
                             and keep hunger at bay, you will be eating five to six times
                       a day. This may be a big adjustment, so keep snacks prepared and
                         3
                         5
                       handy—in a portable cooler, on your desk, or in your car—so that you
                       always have a clean eating snack to satisfy you until the next meal.
