    No, not really. I dont believe in saying anything is off limits. I often tell people I eat clean, because I have very little processed food and look for the most nutritionally dense food I can find. But some people with take clean to mean no breads, alcohol, and the list can go on on. Thats certainly not me. lol. I say clean because I believe thats pretty close. I do avoid dairy but im lactose intolerant so...

    1) "whole foods" is a better description than "clean"
    2) i cut out dairy too for a few years because of LI, but i started using Lactaid for my protein shakes over the summer and i am glad i did. i missed drinking milk and eating cereal. you should try it.

    I've been vegetarian for most of my life, but that's due to personal preference and ethical reasons. Besides that, I make an effort to cook at home from fresh, whole foods and avoid processed foods as much as possible, but I don't make anything 100% off limits, I just pay attention to portion size when I eat things that aren't the healthiest choice.

    No particular diet, I eat what I like.
    I track calories and try to get enough protein and potassium. If I am successful with the 2 "Ps", it seems that everything else pretty much takes care of itself.

    1.) I lift heavy things for exercise
    2.) I follow IIFYM at a 15% deficit which is giving me the ability to have some chicken burgers today.

    Workouts I like + Foods I like

    I just try to hit my protein goal (30%), and stay under my calories. It's hard enough without adding more annoying rules!

    I certainly try to eat a wide variety of fruits and veggies each day, with a sprinkling of meat and dairy mixed in occasionally, to meet my nutritional needs. But, I don't follow any diet in particular and eat whatever I want. I'll fit in just about anything into my eating plan. There's so much delicious food out there, I'd hate to have to look at something and think "Oh, I can't eat that because I'm vegan, vegetarian, paleo, whatever diet of the month, etc."
