To my amazing and caring family: Gary Jacobs, David and Fernanda Jacobs, Barbara Gadd and my nieces and nephews. And to my mother and father who fuel me with their incredible energy, purpose, support and love. Living this dream is made all the more special by sharing it with you. To Mike Kandefer and Urban Oaks Organic Farm, for growing incredible organic produce, and for creating a sustainable, delicious and clean future.

Theres no way I could possibly thank you enough for your partnership, your friendship, your support and your love. To Stckli, my most loyal friend and running partner, because Sarah and Sydney insisted that you have a place in this book. Good boy!

You nourish my heart and soul, and I am so blessed to have you. CONTENTS is about enjoying healthy, delicious, clean food every day.

Its about having a relationship with food thats not based on living up to somebody elses ideal, or following a strict regimen. Its simply about making healthy choices, one at a time, and doing the best that you can do, empowered with knowledge and motivated by intention. Its about maximizing nutritional value and taste, and minimizing waste and imbalance. Its about true nourishment. The kind that makes you feel good about yourself. The kind you want to share with others.

CLEAN START is about YOU living a delicious, vibrant and sustainable life. Theres no better place to start than exactly where you are. This is your guide. This is your clean start. Clean food is whole, minimally processed and close to the source for maximum nutrition. This is the food we all need more of, no matter what else is on your plate.

This is the food that allows you to live a healthy life, and to accomplish what you want without the limitations that result from compromised nutrition and health. Whether youre starting again or starting anew, eating clean is about being nourished by your food and by your journey.
EAT CLEAN. LIVE WELL. It doesnt matter where you are starting. Eating clean is about what we can do now to make healthy choices that are simple, nutritious and delicious. This is the perfect time and place for your clean start. You dont have to deprive yourself of your favorite foods, or feel bound by rigid or unreasonable guidelines.

A clean start has to fit your unique constitution and lifestyle, not set you up to fail. All you have to do is enjoy good, clean food, one recipe at a time, and all the other pieces and health benefits that go along with it will follow. Who doesnt want that?! Whatever your motivation, heres to you and your clean start, and heres to sharing and enjoying the journey.
EAT THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW. The more colorful your diet, the more nutrient-rich. Go easy on empty white filler foods and heavy on healing greens. EAT DARK LEAFY GREENS EVERY DAY.

For me, green is the most important color and the one most lacking in our diets. Greens are cleansing, healing, uplifting, and rich in calcium and minerals. Try using a variety of greens to amp up the nutritional value of your salads, soups, sauces, stir-fries and even smoothies. Just get them in! EAT ALL FIVE TASTES. Sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent are all found naturally and nutritionally in clean food, as opposed to manufactured natural flavors and the imbalance of sweet and salty tastes found in processed foods. EAT FOODS THAT ARE GROWN, NOT MANUFACTURED.
