Clean eating

I'm 5ft 1" and I'm 126lbs. I'm very small framed and definitely look and feel overweight. Two weeks ago I started clean eating, cardio and weight training. What I want to know is how strict does my diet have to be? I'm eating the right amount of caloires to create a healthy deficit. Will I still loose the weight if I have things like dark chocolate (in moderation)?.

Yes, you will. Losing weight comes from being in a calorie deficit. How "clean" you eat is up to you.0

Eating in a caloric deficit is how you lose weight.0

Yes. Calories are what matter for losing weight. Stay under, you will lose. You should aim to hit your macros as well. This will inherently limit what you can or can't eat, but will allow you to fit in some less nutritious snacks from time to time.0

In all honesty, calorie deficit, cardio and weight training will help you loose weight. You would know you are in calorie deficit by accurate logging.0

"Clean eating" (whatever that means) does not matter for weight loss. Since you don't have that much weight to lose, you should probably set your goal to .5 lb/week. It is going to come off slowly, and that's okay. Focus on fitness goals and getting enough protein/fat. You will likely need to be very accurate, so weigh and measure everything that you eat in order to be as accurate as possible. The weight will come off - patience and consistency is key.
You do not have to eat clean to lose weight, period. You can eat chocolate/pizza/ice cream/burgers/broccoli/fish/whatever you want in moderation as long as you are eating less calories than you burn.0 -

I'm not sure what people call clean eating, but dark chocolate is a health food. So are nuts. Mix those together and you have the makings of a candy bar.0
