Clean Eating New Years resolutions

VeganInTraining

Hey all!

Did any of you make any new years resolution? If so, did they relate to your diet/clean eating? Here are mine and I would love if any of you wanted to join me in these.

#1 no fast food: fast food being anything that commonly has a drive through (I don't eat much of it but I'd like to cut it out entirely)

#2 No meat in the house that isn't pastured (this is going to be tough because of the hubby but we'll see how I do)

#3 is not so much of a resolution but this week I am working on cutting back sugar and white flour from my diet and next week i am going to do no sugar/white flour at all. At the end of the two weeks I'll re access how I feel and see if there's anything else that needs to go (probably caffein)

So what about you guys? Any new resolutions

Oh and my other one is "no-meat mondays" all year

#1 Emily, I'm totally joining you with the " no meat Mondays"

#2 Eat red meat only once or twice a week at most

#3 Less cheese

#4 No alcohol Sunday to Friday

#5 Fast food only in emergency situations

#6 More veggies and more fruit

#7 And to start eating breakfast

Going to be a struggle but I am going to try really hard!!!

I can do this.

Monday-Thursdays no pasta, no red meat, no wine or beer, and no bread with meals unless I am eating a sandwich or it is under my poached eggs at breakfast.

Weekends are a different story but only if I walk a minimum of 4 miles each day that I eat more.

* Make better choices when dining at restaurants
* Cook more clean recipes
* More water, less alcohol- cut it out almost entirely
* Complete the transition from greek yogurt with fruit to plain greek yogurt (flavoring myself to reduce sugar intake)
* Incorporate new vegetables and grains into my routine.
* Figure out some clean, healthy desserts

need a new grain? Try millet, it's my newest addiction. It's similar to couscous and you can even make a hot breakfast cereal out of it....and i'm trying the same with the greek yogurt

My Resolution is to try to make eating healthy fun buy trying new recipes and setting goals-Meatless Mondays, Thirsty Thursdays (Only drink water on that day). Also, I want to make the transition from White-Brown (Flour, Rices, Pasta, etc) Less Sugar, No fast food eating, and minimizing daily card intake. Maybe once a day

I didn't officially make any resolutions, but I suppose it'd be good.

I already don't eat fast food and rarely eat red meat (maybe once a week max). I'd like to buy exclusively organic, free-range chicken. I also want to eat out less often. Twice a week should be sufficient.

I just try one or two things a year and see how I fair...I would like to eliminate Splenda from diet tottally. I usually use Stevia but the one I like is pure and pricey so I can't always afford then I go to splenda but I want to stop with splenda all together.
Try to eat more 'real' fish.

Thanks for the millet suggestion. I will have to try that one. I am also wanting to try chia seeds...

I hadn't really made any specific ones but let's see:

1) try more new recipes
2) eat out less often
3) buy more organic
4) eat a fruit with every meal
5) pay attention to portion sizes

Even though I'm already a vegetarian, drink just water, and eat whole grain products, these other things are areas for improvement! Best of luck to everyone with their resolutions!!

I'm doing a no added sugar challenge for the month of January and no alcohol till at least July. I will continue to steer clear of white sugar/white flour and processed food.
