On Monday, George and I started a two week healthy eating plan called the Clean & Lean diet. Four days in and it is amazing! It can be a bit crazy getting up and having chicken breast with green beans for breakfast, and the one coffee a day thing is pretty much pure torture. But I can't remember the last time I have felt this clean and healthy.
After getting in a bit of a food rut and eating pretty poorly, we wanted to challenge ourselves to a healthy non-fad type of diet. I have had James Duigan's second book for so long but for some reason, have never attempted the 14 day meal plan. So happy I finally have.
