When the multitalented Shaelyn Miller isn’t at her desk freelancing as a
graphic designer, one might find her riding her horse or going for a run in her
quaint Ontario town. While she loves trying out new recipes in her kitchen,
her fallback is always tacos – no matter the filling, she loves them all equally.

What Is Clean Eating?

The soul of clean eating is consuming
food the way nature delivered it, or as
close to it as possible. It is not a diet;
it’s a lifestyle approach to food and its
preparation. It's about eating real food,
for a healthy, happy life.

Eat when hungry, stop when full. Find
out what macro values reflect your health goals
and strive to eat within them. Experiment with
various ways of eating, and when you find a
diet your body responds well to — be it a clean
take on high fat/low carb, Paleo or flexitarian —
stick with it.

Choose organic whenever possible.
If your budget limits you, make meat, eggs,
dairy and the Dirty Dozen (ewg.org/foodnews)
your organic priorities.

Drink at least 2 liters of water a day,
preferably from a reusable canteen,
not plastic; we’re friends of the
environment here! Limit your alcohol intake
to one glass of antioxidant-rich red wine a day.

Get label savvy. Clean foods contain
short ingredient lists. Any product with a
long ingredient list is human-made and not
considered clean.

Avoid processed and refined foods
such as white flour, sugar, bread and
pasta. Enjoy complex carbs such as whole
grains instead.

Know thy enemies. Steer clear of trans
fats, fried foods or foods high in sugar. Avoid
preservatives, color additives and toxic binders,
stabilizers, emulsifiers and fat replacers.

Consume healthy fats (essential
fatty acids, or EFAs) every day.

Learn about portion sizes and work
toward eating within them.

Reduce your carbon footprint. Eat
produce that is seasonal and local. It is less
taxing on your wallet and the environment.

Shop with a conscience. Consume
humanely raised, local meats and ocean-
friendly seafood. Visit seachoice.org for a
printable pamphlet.

Practice mindful eating. Never rush
through a meal. Food tastes best when
savored. Enjoy every bite.

Take it to go. Pack a cooler for work or outings
so you always have clean eats on the go.

Holiday Solutions

Ah, the holidays, that magical time
of year that comes with excitement
and anticipation but often not
without a little bit of apprehension
and exhaustion. After all, while hosting, shopping, planning and
celebrating are great fun, it’s a whole other layer of to-dos on top
of your already-packed schedule, and squeezing it all in can be tiring
and may even result in a compromised immune system.
This holiday issue, which carries you from Thanksgiving to New
Year’s, aims to solve a few things for you. First, we’ve got holiday
menus for every type of gathering this season: the cocktail party,
the formal sit-down dinner and the festive brunch. Better yet, you
can mix and match these recipes to your personal preferences.
Check them out, starting on page 38.
And while 2020 has certainly been weird, and perhaps this holiday
will look a little different than previous years, regardless of what
it may look like for you, between intimate gatherings and social-
distanced events, we want to dial your hands-on time way back for
easy, budget-friendly weeknight meals. That means recipes that work
in either your slow cooker or Instant Pot for a low-and-slow simmer
or a lightning-fast cook, both appliances doing the hard work for you.
For more weeknight-meal solutions, get ready to embrace casseroles
again. These one-dish wonders are back and cooler than ever (taco
lentil pie, anyone?). Just pop them in the oven for a quick and easy
meal prep with minimal cleanup.
To prepare you for all the hustle and bustle of the holidays,
we’ve got tips to party-proof your body to stay energized, dodge
hangovers, stay hydrated and be resilient to cold and flu season on
page 86. And be sure to check out our annual Gift Guide on page 28.
Whether you’re shopping for the man in your life, the fitness lover,
the charitable gifter or the adventurous foodie (and more), we’ve got
one-of-a-kind gifts for every personality that will truly wow.
Happy Holidays, Clean Eaters!
