I can't live without SOME junk food dammit!

But I am trying, slowly, to make it a less and less regular thing, until finally it's like, a once a month treat or something.

Not doing that well so far, but getting better maybe...

With regard to "Clean" beer - I may be biased, and I'm certainly streching the 'rules' of clean eating, but homebrew and many craft beers are technically 'clean' - Beer contains barley or wheat (sometimes rice), hops, and yeast. Although it's all boiled and fermented, there isn't anything unnatural in beer. Welllll, I guess alcohol is technically unnatural, but it's still naturally occuring! (beer was an accident - wild yeast and all that..)

Really I could talk about beer all day and think it's a very important part of history and a balanced lifestyle.


I've been eating in a moderately clean manner for about a year, also had a pretty long period of mostly clean eating about six years ago. Very little processed foods, and many foods coming from my own garden. As of today I joined a clean eating challenge on the forum, and I'm going to make it my goal to really cut out the processed foods completely this month. It's not something I want to 100% commit to all the time, but being more mindful of it in general is a good start and a good way to balance it out.

I have recently been very interested in moving torward clean eating. I've found it challenging especially with side dishes at dinner. Does anyone have any suggestions, other than brown rice? Thanks!

Fresh steamed vegetables are great! Broccoli, carrots, green beans, grilled asparagus, squash and zuccini are all very filling, and you can eat huge portions since vegetables are so low in calories.

Also, I've been looking for ezekiel bread forever and can't find it? Do you have to purchase it in a specialty store?

Not sure where ya live, but if you live where there are Food Lion grocery stores, the nicer ones carry it over in the freezer section. Lowes Food and Kroger both carry it, as do Trader Joe's and Whole Foods

Most stores keep it refrigerated. I think Trader Joe's is the only place I've seen it not in the fridge. I was wondering why on the way home from there today. LOL

fred meyers has it too

I love the idea of clean eating however being a uni student usually i am pretty broke. Therefore i sometimes find it hard to eat cheap food which is considered healthy. I'm trying to be better at it but am finding it quite difficult

I am not a clean eating snob, but I try to keep things as whole and clean as possible without it controling my life. Most days I probably have at least one thing that is not "clean" but I eat enough natural whole foods to keep healthy.

Me too. I feel like I eat pretty clean but definitely have better days some days than others. I still get chocolate cravings and slip up and eat out some. I have noticed though that when I eat fast food it just isn't as tasty as it used to be. My food diary is open but be warned I am simple and eat plain things.
