Clean Eating is all about a balanced diet, which consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole, unprocessed and unrefined foods - as close to the way nature made them. Most importantly, clean eating is a lifestyle, for the overall improvement of your body, based on moderation and a few simple principles. So, if you plan on getting started with clean eating and don't know where to begin, here are a few tips to make your transition easier:
1. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats
Try to buy from farmers markets as much as you can. Clean Eating also means cutting down on pesticides or other chemicals that are usually used in the cultivating process. As for the meat, try buying good quality products, grass fed and small fish, from cold waters. Also, consider cutting down the quantity of meat you consume, as there are many vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds that contain protein to keep those nutrients in balance (like chia seeds, lentils and beans).
2. Avoid eating ultra-processed foods
You know exactly what I'm talking about. Sugary cereals, soda, chips, fruit yogurts and other stuff you pack your pantry with. Try to replace them with rolled oats, fresh lemonades, homemade snacks and yogurt with fruits. The internet is full of clean eating recipes to keep the entire family happy, but most importantly, healthy. You can make your own ketchup, trust me! That doesn`t mean that all goods that come in packages are bad for you. Brown rice is labeled too and is extremely healthy. So are olive oil and flax seeds.
3. Stay away from refined sugar, white flour, rice and pasta
Try to substitute with other sweetening products (honey or maple syrup, if vegan), almond flour and quinoa. And these are just from the top of my head, the options are really unlimited!
4. Focus on macros, not just calories
Every meal should include proteins, carbohydrates and good fats. By eliminating empty calories, everything you eat will also have a nutritional value, which, in the long term, means overall improvement of your body.
5. Drink more water
If you can't meet your daily target, try tea or homemade lemonade.
6. Eat at least 5 meals a day, but make your portions smaller
I cannot stress enough the importance of a regular meal plan when deciding to change to a clean eating lifestyle. Consider preparing some snacks and buying a cooler for when you take a road trip, to avoid the obligatory pit stop for crisps at the service station. These little changes will go a long way, but take baby steps. Stop eating junk food on the run and pack lunch for work. Give it a try - you won't regret it!
7. Find a clean eating buddy
It's a hard transition and you will need a friend in need. Even better, try introducing this lifestyle to your family so you don't lose your mind on pizza night!
Good luck and don't forget to let me know how your journey is going by leaving a comment below.

The Food Explorers Club (FEC) is a membership club operated by Yumbles Media Ltd and gives all members great benefits when shopping on Yumbles.com.
- Member benefits: we are continuously looking to improve benefits to FEC members and as a result, the benefits offered might change from time to time. We will always make an up-to-date list of benefits available to everyone through Yumbles.com. At the time of writing benefits include free delivery on 100s of products and exclusive discounts.
- Billing: due to the really low monthly membership price and the nature of the benefits, FEC subscription is billed and paid yearly. This enables us to plan ahead and ensure that we can offer the best range of benefits available to all members. The membership fee will be automatically charged to your card every 12 months.
- Cancellation:
a. Within the first 25 days: you can cancel your FEC membership during the first month without paying anything, assuming you have not already taken advantage of any FEC benefits like free or discounted shipping, FEC discounts etc. If you have saved as a result of your FEC membership, then the savings will have to be paid back to Yumbles by charging your card on file. No membership fees will be paid.
b. After the first 25 days: If you have already paid for the first year, you can still cancel your membership but a membership fee will be due for every full of partial month that have passed and any savings you made will have to be paid back. A cancellation fee of £5 will also have to be paid that goes towards covering the manual effort needed to process refunds. If you wish to simply not renew your membership for the next year, no cancellation fee will be due.
- Renewal: If you don't cancel your membership, your membership will automatically renew for the next year and your card will be charged. Please make sure to cancel your membership from your Yumbles account or notify us if you wish to cancel as reminders will not be sent out.
- Membership price changes and other changes: from time to time we might review the membership pricing. We will always notify you of any changes in pricing and you will always have the option of cancelling. We will also notify you about any other major changes to the plan that might be made from time to time. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any memberships at our discretion.
Subscribe and Save is a great way to receive your favourite products on a regular basis, without the hassle of re-ordering, and get a 10% discount over the regular price*.
Creating a subscription is dead-easy and you can cancel your subscription or decide to skip a month online any time of the day. Subscriptions can be cancelled as long as at least 2 weeks pass from the dispatch date of your first order - this is to give you the chance to taste the products before deciding and to ensure that the discount is only enjoyed by those that are genuinely intending on receiving a product on a regular basis.
We're sure you'll agree that this is a good way of not having to require a minimum number of orders, which would be less flexible - we understand that at times, you might decide that a product is not for you once you've tried it. If you decide that you no longer want to receive a product on a regular basis, please make sure to cancel before the next renewal day; once your card is charged the product will be on its way to you and any cancellation will come into effect from the next cycle.
* Occasionally, food makers might have to make small changes to their product prices for various reasons. You will always be charged the current price of the product, whether it's a bit lower or higher than the price on the day you first subscribed.
To ensure that your food arrives as fresh as possible, you can schedule your order to be delivered closer to the date you need it by.
At checkout you will be able to choose between having your orders delivered ASAP or for a later date. It's as simple as that!
Note: all items from a seller are dispatched together in one delivery but you can select orders from different sellers to arrive at different times should you wish to do so.
If you really need something to be with you for a set date, we strongly recommend that you schedule it to arrive at least 1-2 days early. This ensures that even if there are any delays due to issues with delivery companies or other reasons, you can still receive your order in time.
At busy periods (e.g. Christmas) we recommend allowing a few more days as things do tend to get very hectic and more unpredictable for delivery companies.
Just enter the promo code above at checkout and your discount will be applied automatically.
** Promo code can be used only once per customer **
