Eggplant and Sweet Potato Stir Fry

A technique originating from China, stir frying is a method used to cook bite sized foods quickly at high heat while stirring often. It keeps your meats tender and your vegetables crisp. A tip r that I have learned is to prepare all of your ingredients in advance.
Whether a person is at a healthy weight, underweight or overweight, the body will react appropriately when on the eat clean diet. Those who are at a healthy weight will stay at a healthy weight. Those who are underweight will gain weight, while those who are overweight will lose weight. The reason for this, is that the foods a person eats on a clean eating diet are natural foods that the human body is designed to eat. There are no counting calories or watching the amount of carbohydrates on the clean eating diet. It is as simple as eating a balance of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy products.
