Choosing fresh, natural foods that nourish the body defines clean eating rather than rigid guidelines. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle begins for Freya Bennett in the grocery shop. “If you keep the proper foods in your kitchen, choosing better becomes natural,” she says with a smile.
Every market visit, Freya emphasizes fresh food, premium proteins, and healthy ingredients. She passes highly processed goods and instead loads her cart with vivid veggies, luscious fruits, and filling grains. “I usually say, if it grows naturally and isn’t packed with artificial stuff, it’s a good choice,” she says.
Her meals center on protein, hence she chooses lean meats, fresh fish, and plant-based foods like tofu. She chooses complicated carbohydrates like quinoa and sweet potatoes for energy as they keep her full without setting off sugar crashes. She never forgets good fats, of course either. “A drizzle of olive oil or a handful of nuts can make a basic meal spectacular.”
For Freya, good food also emphasizes balance. She believes in fresh, whole foods, yet she does not practice deprivation. “Now and then a homemade dessert or a piece of dark chocolate makes me happy. The secret is loving food and still looking after your physique.
Freya’s method of clean eating seems simple by concentrating on natural ingredients and conscious decisions. “It’s about making better decisions, one dinner at a time, not about perfection.”
