Clean Eating Success Stories, I want to hear them!

LaJauna

I started eating clean last month. No processed foods, no sugar unless it's honey or fruit (nature's sugar, not chemically engineered from corn). I've lost 9 pounds which is a lot because I wasn't heavy to begin with (128). Eating clean is the way to go. I feel 100% better too!

I know that many dieting camps think honey, pure maple syrup, agave and other "natural" sugars are somehow superior to table sugars, but your body can not tell the difference. The bee is nature's best refiner of sugar. The molecules of all sugars (sucrose) are the same. If you boil down honey, maple or agave you still get huge sugar crystals. So if you are trying to go truely clean you will steer clear of all sugar sources.

Eating clean is a great way to live your life! It is not just about losing weight, but about being healthy. We try to eat mainly clean, but admittedly even I am not 100%. My daughter who is 16 months has almost never had anything other than clean food! I can count on 1 hand the numbers of times she's had something that wouldn't be considered clean. And the older she gets, the more we switch the entire family to clean eating. I am hoping that 2012 will be the year that my husband and I trully commit to being 100% clean.
It makes you lose weight, it makes you healthier and just generally makes you feel better! I swear that once you go clean, you'll never go back!

Eating clean is great for you body. I allow myself a processed meal at lunch for quickness but other than that, I try hard not to eat anything else man-made. I just love the ready made meals for my lunch and haven't been able to give that up. I just started back again so I have a long way to go for discipline but I'm trying!
