I am thrilled with the Clean Eating challenge underway now..in it’s 6th day.  You might be feeling like you’re eating ALL THE TIME but soon you will get used to eating this way. It won’t be long before you no longer have to look at the clock to make sure you are on schedule with your meals. Within days your body will tell you when its time to eat, as long as you’ve been consistent.  Believe me, it beats walking around hungry all day. I do keep some protein powder in my car, just in case I am out longer than expected.  Remember, never ever miss a meal…especially important in this beginning stage where we are training your metabolism to fully engage.   This is very important!

Here is a clean eating Tuna Melt recipe that looks terrific for the weekend.  For a meal lower in carbs, just serve the salad over some mixed green and voila!

Ingredients:

6 oz. can tuna in water

3 Tbsp. celery, diced

3 Tbsp. red onion, diced

2 Tbsp. carrots, diced

2 Tbsp. tomato, diced
