    The Eat clean diet and cookbooks from Tosca Reno are great. We have the diet book and 2 cook books.

    I haven't found it hard at all. I'm not 100%. Mornings usually consists of eggs (2 or 3) and uncured natural bacon (3 or 4) usually with butter or coconut oil. At home would be a veggie omelet and also bacon. Yes I'm a bacon fiend. Lunch is usually a salad with some chicken or salmon in it, sunflower seeds, and doused with apple cider vinegar and a couple of tbsp of olive or avocado oil.
    Dinner is usually some form of meat or fish and more veggies. I have some raw almonds or macadamia nuts on occasion. Berries on occasion. Cheese very, very rarely but when I do it is usually raw milk cheddar, bleu cheese or feta cheese. I eat coconut and use coconut oil on about everything.

    I don't eat: grains, flours, sugars, milk, legume (this includes peanuts), beans, and starchy veggies. I do have a sweet potato every once in a while, though.

    My sugar addiction is still an issue.

    Hit up The Gracious Pantry or The Joy of Clean Eating websites, lots of good info and recipes.

    Doing it is easy, resisting temptation and all the things you used to eat is the hard part lol. I recommend Power Foods and Clean Food. I got both from the library. They aren't "diets" but just recipes that incorporate clean foods. The second one is awesome because it has them by season! Oh- and Clean Eating Magazine- they have recipes online as well.

    I can tell you the hardest part is that clean eating does not really equal calorie counting. It's nearly impossible to get an accurate count, and eating clean foods isn't really about watching calories, it's about nourishing your body.
