I use the phrase clean eating often, but forget many may not understand. What is clean eating? Many people ask this question and are not exactly sure what clean eating really means. Clean eating consists of a diet that omits as many additives, chemicals, and preservatives as possible. If you are eating out of a box, you're doing it wrong. The human diet should consist of plenty of fresh, frozen, and/or dried fruits, fresh and/or frozen vegetables, whole grains, nonfat dairy, lean proteins, unsalted nuts and nut butters, and non-hydrogenated fats. I tell people that most of your food shopping should be at the edges of the supermarket; the center isles are filled with chemical-ridden processed food that you should want nothing to do with.
It is very easy to be decieived by labeling, so it is vital to read ingredients in addition to labels. Unfortunately there are MANY companies out there claiming they are providing "healthy" food options, but don't be fooled. Most of these products come from huge corporations that are only looking to make money, not improve anyone's health. Basically, stop eating pre-made meals from a box, and start eating natural food, from the Earth!
