Different Eating Styles

I've had a great interest in nutrition since I was really young.
Possibly because I love food soooo much!  I've been creating and writing recipes since I was 12 years old.  My poor family used to come home to jello cookies, cookies made from chips and pop lol ( no not nutritious then..but creative;) I even made a casserole dish with a graham cracker crust..true storey and god bless my mom!  She ate everything I sat before her with out a complaint lol
Strong lady:)
My Aunt owned her own health food store and that really began an Interest for me in natural healing.  I would buy books upon books and read so much...but to be honest it still confused me on how to fuel my body for activity properly.  
So today I will give you some links to different lifestyles in nutrition that people adopt.  Healthy ones anyway because there really are a lot out there.  
If you are just starting out it can all be so overwhelming.   Researching a great nutrition coach is a terrific idea but be sure to do your own research and ask questions before you settle on one! 

Paleo or caveman diet: basically it's going back to basics.. If a caveman could eat it so can you.  It's a natural way of eating, eliminating refined sugars,  processed foods, grains, pesticides (yuck!), dairy.   Eating more free range fowl , grass Fed  beef, wild caught fish.
This link has some great info.

Vegan - there are so many types of Vegetarian diet.  You get the main idea though a Vegan excluded all meat, fish and their by products like dairy and eggs.  RAW Vegans eat the majority of their foods from raw sources.

Clean diet :  it does not mean wash your foods;)
A clean lifestyle chooses whole, natural foods and eliminates refined , processed ones.  Focuses on combining lean proteins with complex carbohydrates and healthy fats with each meal.
