    My College (vegetarian) daughter is home for 2 months. I am going to remove mammal flesh from my diet. I have been curious about trying this-- and now seems like a good time.

    Are you talking natural verse artificial? Or are you looking for high fructose corn syrup? Either way read the ingredients it will tell you the type of sugar used and you can decide if it's right for you.

    I slipped up last night and had an artificial sweeter binge.

    I found artificial sweeteners to be a major source of sugar binging for me. It took me about 3 months to feel easy about not having artificial sweeteners in my life. I was a major addict. I never realized how intertwined things like diet soda were in my life. I've been off them 1 1/2 years now. I had zero problem saying no to them now, but it was hard that first few months. Hang tough you'll get there. What I found helpful is to say "I don't eat artificial sweeteners." Rather than "I can't have them."

    Hello, I am not new to MFP only I have strayed away from it for some time. I seriously need to focus and jump back on board. Hopefully its ok I join your group. I am coming to an end of my vacation and back to work on Tuesday. I am going t create my shopping list for the week and organize my meaks for the week. In order to keep focused the key is Planning. Anyways, I am wishing you all a fabulous week- Cheers! ! :happy:

    Ok, I know most of you have probably finished or close to finishing your two weeks now, but I just saw this and am so in. I started eating clean-er (ie, not 100% but a whole lot better than I have been of late) yesterday, so today is my day 2.

    Those of you that have already done the challenge, how did it go? Any results or successes to share?

    I too just came across this group and topic. I have been eating clean for the last week for sure, and a bit longer with small slip ups for a week before that.

    Just a note on artificial sweeteners for those that have mentioned it. I am not sure if this falls into the category of clean eating, but there is a sweetener call Stevia that is a natural extract from the stevia leaf, with chicory root. There are no calories and one gram of carbs in each 1 gram serving that equals the equivalent of 2 tsp. of sugar.

    For me, a big part of eating clean is juicing veggies and fruit. It is the only way I can pack in so much nutrition in one sitting, and since I don't have a palette for many veggies, I mask the flavors with a bit of fruit.
