Hi Angila, today is my first day at MFP and I'm no expert, but I've found Blogilates to be a good resource for clean recipes. Also, I bought Tosca Rena's Eat Clean Diet Recharged book (you can get it on iPad/iPhone) and that's been incredibly helpful.

Try Googling clean eating blogs, there are some wonderful ones out there with lots of inspiring and frankly delicious recipes that will hopefully help.

All the best,
Miss Velveteeny

You can view mine, but I am bulking. I eat nuts, porride, meat, fruit and all that good chit. Not that it matters, this is just how I personally like to eat and how I get my protein (protein being my main focus). You can eat whatever you like if you only care about loosing weight if you hit the right calroies each day.

your welcome to peak my diary but I cant see how much it, or anyones diary will help you. If you want to see how I lost 48 pounds in 4 months then scroll back about a month ago and you will see my dieting meal plans back then

I only spot check log my food, but my diary is open. I'm transitioning to a whole foods/'clean', plant based diet

Don't drop your food in the dirt, and if you drop it on the floor, it's the 5 second rule. Unless it's a clean floor, then the 10 second rule applies. And, wash your hands prior to handling food.

All of your food will be clean if you follow this.

Since Sunday my husband and I dropped all processed foods, dairy and grains. You are welcome to look at my meal plan since this past Sunday. I will say, I have put a teaspoon of ranch in my salads at work for some flavor and I'm pretty sure that the bacon we are eating needs to be changed since its still considered "processed" so I will start that next week when I shop again. Good luck! We love how full we feel from the fats and protein and I think you will too!

Thanks everyone!!

Funny, but wholly accurate.

Example: In the case of meat, unless you are rending it from the bone, minutes after death, you are eating processed food. Unless you are drinking whole milk, minutes from the cow's udders, you're drinking processed milk.

The whole "eating clean" stuff is, for lack of a better term, bunk and a waste of time to try.

I eat "cleaner". I avoid heavily processed food like the plague. I eat tons of fruits and veggies, and things that are as close to natural as I can find in my little podunk town. When I switched to this I found a website that was very helpful, thegraciouspantry.com It does work. I have lost weight before eating junk and limiting my caloric intake, but still felt blah. After one week of eating cleaner foods, I felt amazing. It has been almost 3 months. I have lost 18+ pounds in the last 3 months. (weigh in is in a week.) My diary is open if you care to take a look. Good luck!!

I eat mostly clean but a nice trick for someone who is starting out is to avoid the middle sections of the grocery store and avoid any sort of products which have more than 3 ingredients you can't pronounce like ammonium sulfate ,sodium benzoate or potassium nitrite. If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your body. Simple

p-s: I can pronounce those because i know what they are but you get the point stuff like :disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate or neohesperidin dihydrochalcone.

On other forums I've been a part of the term used is 'whole foods', for instance a fresh peach vs. canned peaches in heavy sauce. Nothing wrong with eating this way if that's you're preference and there are many of us who don't think it's bunk or a waste of our time

Thanks!!

I eat *mostly* clean so I added you if you want to view my diary. I make sure to buy organic or all natural chicken breasts, organic breads and organic fruits and veggies. Mostly everything I get is organic most of the time or all natural. And it is true that all the healthy food is usually around the perimeter of the grocery store and the unhealthy junk is in the middle.

Those who think eating clean is bunk usually exists on package/fast food and are some of the unhealthiest people around no matter what their weight.
