Today's Clean Eating Class!

Today's class was so great! I was so excited about the information and motivated to incorporate more fiber into my diet, choose foods that actually increase my metablolism and decrease fat absorption, and make sure I am getting the right amount of protein for my body! Below are links to the sources I used for each topic.
