The Dirty Dozen and The Clean Fifteen!
___
Many people don’t realize that pesticide residues are common on conventionally grown produce even after it is carefully washed or peeled! The Environmental Working Group evaluated thousands of samples of produce for the presence of different pesticides and pesticide breakdowns and found there are significant differences among various types of produce.
___
They developed a guide to help you including the Dirty Dozen (the fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residues) and the Clean Fifteen (few, if any residues were detected).
___
You should always try to eat fruits and veggies that are organic but when buying organic produce isn’t an option, this guide can help you choose which produce to buy organic or avoid and which is safe, to ensure you are having all the benefits of a diet rich in fruits and veggies while still limiting your exposure!

How to do it:
___
Eat all of your daily calories within a shortened window of 6-8 hours and then fast for the remaining 14-16 hours. You can do this every day or a few times per week. I stop eating around 6pm after my dinner meal and I don’t eat again until around 11am the next morning. I do have my coffee with coconut oil in the mornings. You can adjust your hours according to what works best for your lifestyle.
___
Benefits of Intermittent Fasting include:
- boosts weight loss
- increases energy
- reduces insulin resistance
- lowers bad cholesterol
- promotes longevity
- improves memory and boosts brain function
- makes cells more resilient and promotes cellular repair
___
Remember that intermittent fasting may not be for you. If you find yourself starving or having low energy in the mornings doing intermittent fasting or if you find that you are eating much more food or making unhealthy choices when you do eat, this method might not be best for you. People with low blood sugar, gallstones or are pregnant should avoid IF. Always consult with your doctor before implementing IF into your routine. 👩⚕️
