Clean Eating Challenge: Results (Day 30)

Before the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge, I was eating relatively healthy (lots of fruits and veggies and protein) but I had bad habits that stuck around. I ate a lot of processed foods and white flour, and I craved these things. I also ate way too much sugar.

I’ll also be creating handy-dandy printer-friendly guides for you to stick on your fridge, on your computer, on your face — wherever helps to remind you of the rules of the challenge and how to survive all 30 days! Good luck!
