Everyday Substitutes
Hi everyone, my name is Sarah, I'm new to this group. I did some calculations, and approximately 50% of my diet comes from whole foods, and although the second half of my diet is processed, it remains to be pretty healthy (yogurt, for instance).

Detoxinista Recipe's
I tried two of the detoxinsita.com recipes and they turned out really great for the most part. Some of her recipes although they are clean are high calorie, but in moderation I feel all of it can be enjoyed. I also use an egg substitute in the pizza crust because my daughter doesn't like to eat egg and it turned out great.…

Do Mike and Ikes count? Looking for "clean" friends! :)
Hi guys, I have been on MFP for over a year and I really love it. I found it very easy to get motivated and stay focused with MFP as a tool. Over the last couple of months I have grown lazy.

Tosca Reno's beef bone broth cleanse
So I made some this morning. It's been simmering on my cooktop for abbout 5 hours now and smells wonderful! The problem: it's too rich and fatty for me to drink! It's so rich - there's no possible way I could drink it - it's like drinking straight fat! I know this is wonderful stock for cooking with later - but my next…

Organic Food List @ Costco (print)

After Effects of Falling off the Clean journey

Then something happened, I am not sure what, but I started eating more and more 'unclean' foods in the evening.

New to MFP and could really use some friends/advice!
I didn't ever want to have to join a calorie counting website, but I gave up and joined when a bunch of friends decided to take dieting seriously. I manage to eat really clean through most of the day, but always blow it in the evening because I can't cook and frozen meals just seem so easy. :( I could use some friends that…
