Tonight’s open house was phenomenal.

eating clean.
first off, some folk don't like the term "eating clean" but bn-fit adopts it with enthusiasm because you have to clean up your diet in order to get fit. in a nutshell: do eat: whole, natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and minimal complex carbohydrates (oatmeal, bran, brown rice). there are lots of great recipes; check out my food as fuel category or this post: snack time: an ice cream-like treat. don't eat: fast food, refined sugar, white bread, preservatives, bad fats (hydrogenated and trans-fat), and most sugar subsitutes. an easy way to remember if a
