Have you been considering what you can do to reduce your carbon footprint? The answer might surprise you.
The first step to a lean and green diet is to tackle your mindset. The key to any new endeavor is developing both the will and the ability to do what it takes. Be aware of how much you're eating, which foods contain high levels of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, or calories. You won't want to be sabotaging your weight loss goals.
If you can recognize the easy-to-make, no-trouble foods that provide ample nutrients and fill you up, you can start clearing the way for the lean and green diet.
Highly unprocessed foods like vegetables and fruit that come in their purest form are at the heart of a healthy diet. Add some healthy fats like nuts, seeds, avocados, and fish to your diet too.
Eating lean proteins like poultry and fish will help keep hunger at bay while helping with satiety.

Lean meats and proteins are a good source of iron, zinc, and other minerals which are essential for cell repair and growth. If you follow lean meat sources like eggs, yogurt, low-fat milk products, lean cuts of beef, and other lean protein sources you will include enough vitamins and minerals to sustain a healthy diet.
When it comes to carbohydrates (sugar), the key is to focus on whole grains rather than refined grains like white bread or pasta. Choose whole grain breads from scratch or splurge on multigrain loaves at the bakery.
