    Definitely both. I eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and salads, however, I have treats in moderation and other foods Iike, etc.

    Right now I try to do both. Maybe one day I will be able to eat completely clean. There are some things that are hard for me to give up like...whole milk, butter, white bread and pasta. Don't get me wrong I enjoy wheat pasta and bread just as much, but I am not gonna give up white stuff forever. I also occasionally need to splurge on candy or junk food. As far as processed boxed food goes I would much rather make it from scratch.

    Definitely moderation.....I've been pretty good about getting some not so "clean" foods to fit into my daily calories. Cheesecake Factory anyone? :laugh:

    Moderation. Whenever I have to have something and do silly things to make it work... the food always makes me feel miserable.

    I may be a total tool but what is eating clean??

    Clean eating is eating whats natural. Staying away from processed foods.

    I would say I'm about 80/20, but the majority of my 20 non-clean is clean-ish. Like . . . truly whole grain breads. Artisan pasta. Organic dark chocolate. Ranch dressing made from yogurt. Local, humane ice cream. Cereal with no refined sugar or sweeteners.

    It all tastes better than the crap anyway, and after all the Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser and Marion Nestle and Nina Planck and everyone else I've read, I don't want to touch the crap. I don't even want to *look at* it.

    Both! I eat pretty clean most of the time, but if there is something I really want I will eat it in moderation.

    Me too :)
