Eat Clean Be Lean

                       Welcome to my Clean Eating Site!

My name is Brynne Ruiz. I love blue skies, mountains, and fresh, tasty food. I am 34 years old and living my little girl dreams: mothering three beautiful children and married to a gorgeous, muscular hunk.

Brandon (my hunk) is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt and World Champion Wrestler. Such a high level athlete needs quality food. For years I thought I was preparing healthy meals but Brandon kept saying we needed to "eat cleaner." He couldn't explain besides "more meat and vegetables."  That phrase, "eat clean" caught my eye when I came across The Eat Clean Diet book by Tosca Reno. That book started an amazing eating adventure for our family. It is simple and straightforward. With it I changed our frumpy, fat habits bite by bite. 

We started clean eating in December 2010. So far (March 2011), I've lost 15 lbs. My husband's lost 10 lbs. Our children are happy and healthier. We deal with fewer tantrums and grumpy spells from all of us. We sleep better and just feel better! Who knew that real food could do all that?
