Challenge Yourself to Eat Clean For 2 Weeks With This Plan

Updated on 5/8/2016 at 11:20 PM

Eating clean doesn't mean giving up foods you love, but it does entail making healthy, homemade meals. If you're ready to clean up your eating habits, we have a two-week plan for you! It's easy to follow and chock-full of tasty recipes for all your meals, snacks, and treats — yes! You get a little treat, sometimes sweet and sometimes salty, every day. Clean eating doesn't need to be painful, and having a plan helps.

Our Two-Week Clean-Eating Plan, created by the registered dietitians Stephanie Clarke and Willow Jarosh of C&J Nutrition, focuses on whole foods — fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. All the meals, snacks, and treats add up to about 1,600 calories per day. The carb, protein, and fat ratio is close to 50:20:30. The carbs are high in fiber and minimally processed. The protein is lean, and the fats are primarily plant-based. And all the food is tasty.

How the Plan Works

We have printable shopping lists for each week as well as an easy-to-follow daily rundown of what to get, prep, make, and save, and when.

The 14-day plan is divided into two weeks, with a separate shopping list for each. We strongly suggest you use the first day of each week as your prep day to wash, chop, and store the many ingredients you will be cooking with throughout the week. On your prep day and during the week, you will prepare multiple servings of some recipes, as well extra portions of certain dishes to eat as leftovers later in the week. Talk about convenience. Heck! Some dishes taste better the second day.

Tip: It's a good idea to clean out your fridge to make room for the food you will be buying, making, and storing.

Week One Shopping List

Print your shopping list and head to the store for all your cooking supplies. Do note there a some basic ingredients (oils, spices, etc.) that you buy the first week but will also be using in the second week, too.

To keep yourself from being overwhelmed, we suggest shopping the day before you start following this plan. So if Sunday is going to be day one, which is great for all the prepping, then do your grocery shopping on Saturday.

What You'll Be Eating

Day one kicks of with muffins and steamed nondairy milk of your choice and ends with a treat of dark chocolate — how civilized! Although day one is a vegetarian day, you will be preparing chicken, fish, and turkey for differnt meals. Check out all the recipes for the first day of the plan here.

The Weekly Rundown

While you can start the program on any day of the week, you need to follow it in sequence since this plan uses leftovers throughout each week. To help you prep and plan, we have created a rundown of the daily meals and a to-do list for each week. Think of this as your cheat sheet: print it out and put it on your fridge so you can easily follow along.
