The Essential Clean Eating Shopping List
One of the biggest complaints I hear from people who say they want to eat healthier is that “It’s too hard!”
I get it; if being fit and healthy were easy there would be no need for websites like this!
That’s why I keep coming up with new resources to make things easier, so you can save all your energy for crushing your workouts in the gym.
Regular readers should have already seen:
- My Top Kitchen Essentials – The things I always have in my pantry.
- Clean Eating 101 – Everything you need to know about eliminating a lot of the unhealthy, processed foods in your diet.
- Healthy Recipes – Tons of tasty, easy-to-make, healthy recipes to try.
- How Many Calories Should I Eat? – The three-part series to help you figure out exactly how many calories you need to be eating to lose/gain weight.
- eMeals – The recipe/shopping list service that I can’t say enough good things about!
- The Heroes’ Transformation Guide – The most entertaining and comprehensive guide available on how to eat right and feel great!
Well today I have another indispensable resource for you that should help make stocking your pantry with healthy and nutritious foods an easy task!
Remember, the food you put in your body is the fuel that keeps you going.
If you eat like crap you will feel, and look, like crap. End of discussion.
Making sure that a majority of the food you eat is nutrient rich means you will not only feel good, but you’ll start to see the results once these better food choices become a regular habit. Your diet is where it all begins; yes, exercise is super important but no matter how much you are in the gym you can’t outrun your fork.
So today I want to make your trips to the grocery store so easy, a caveman could do it (please don’t sue me Geico.)
Here’s my printable shopping list suggestions for your healthy, and clean-eating, needs!
4 Beginner Fitness Mistakes You Might Be Making
In general, I make a lot of mistakes.
Too be honest, when it comes to my health and fitness I have screwed up in more ways than I care to admit over the years!
But since the day I finally decided to be serious about my health, and made it my mission to transform myself into a real life superhero, it has been my mission to help my fellow geeks and nerds (and muggles too!) find the easiest ways to get fit and healthy, without having to deal with all the obstacles I ran into.
So don’t worry.
I’ve made all of the fitness mistakes so you don’t have to!
Today I wanted to identify some of the biggest problems that beginners make when trying to lose weight and get healthy, and provide you with specific advice on how to avoid them.
As you can imagine, this is a pretty huge topic; so we are going to focus on some of the most common fitness mistakes this time around.
If you want to dig even deeper you can always sign up for the Jerd Herd email list, where I send you a completely free eBook I wrote with 7 more fitness mistakes and obstacles (and solutions!)

The Jerd Library: 10 Books to Educate, Inspire and Entertain
I love to read.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve devoured written words like they were the nectar of the Gods.
As a little Jerdling I always leaned much further toward arts and literature than math and science (a trend that has definitely continued on into adulthood). I still avoid math like the plague; but I read as much, and as often, as I can!
And while my bookshelves are all overflowing, believe it or no, I have found most of my reading occurs on an e-reader these days. At first I resisted, but the level of convenience having a huge library at your fingertips at all times just cannot be beat.
I’m going to go out on a limb and make the assumption that many of you out there love reading as much as I do…
And since we spend so much time focused on the physical, I thought it would be nice to flip the Jerd coin and look at the other side for a bit.
So here are some fitness, business and motivational books that have had a huge impact on me!
