    I had very similar results! I stopped eating almost all processed foods in January and 12lbs came off without even incorporating exercise. I am now down about 15 with counting calories and exercise.
    The weight loss is a really great benefit the nothing compares to the energy I have gained, lack of tummy problems, no more acid-reflux and my skin looks amaze-balls!
    You look great BTW!
    Nice work :smile:

    after clean eating AND working out ...13lb loss

    And how do you know eating in a caloric deficit with "non clean" foods AND working out wouldn't produce the same results?

    Great job on your progress either way.

    Eating clean doesn't always equal weight loss. You consumed fewer calories than you burned so you lost weight. That's what worked.

    Eating healthy, whole foods is good for your health and body composition to a certain point. Attributing all you success to a clean diet isn't correct.

    I wash all of the food that I can...

    I still haven't figured out how to clean my macaroni and cheese though... that always ends badly.

    Does this mean that I'm eating "mostly" clean?

    Yeah, I don't know many people who eat clean and would agree that Luna is clean... The chips certainly aren't.

    I don't eat "clean" so I don't care.

    Looking at your typical day and what you eat, I would say that you lost weight because you massively restricted calories. That's a whole day of food?! That can't be more than 1,000 calories. Your dinner is IMHO not dinner. It's barely a snack. You can't be getting more than 40-50 grams of protein either. I'd not be able to continue training if I only ate that.
