I gotta have my protein powder and FiberOne. Other than that I'm doing about 95% of the rest.

I'd love to try this... but may I ask how the price tag normally ranges?

I notice that you've given up soda---just replacing soda with water will save you money. Additionally, replacing processed foods and prepared foods with fresh and frozen meat and vegetables is a savings both in money and in wasted calories. I suppose if you get "really clean" and buy only organic, the price could go up.

start small, do it one day at a time, and take baby steps toward the goal:bigsmile:

good luck:bigsmile:

there are foods that are really heavy in pesticides and more important to buy organic than others. You can get the list (Dirty Dozen and Clean 15) at www.foodnews.org

Does frozen fruit and vegetables count as clean eating? I don't have the skills to maintain fresh veggies before they are eating and end up throwing away a lot. I cook for one. Is there a list of "clean food" available to make a grocery list from? Thank you for all your help. Looking forward to changing my eating habits to a more healthier one.:happy:

There's a clean eating website with a lot of information. I read somewhere that sometimes frozen vegetables are healthier than fresh because they're frozen at the peak of freshness and the stuff in the store may have had a long journey from picking to buying.

I consider frozen veggies and fruit part of clean eating---I steam them or cook them in the microwave and eat them without butter, cream sauce, cheese,etc.

Take baby steps toward your goal and learn something new whenever you can and the improvement will be amazing.

I don't think what I do now is totally clean eating but it's so much cleaner than it was in 2008

i signed up to do this clean eating and then didn't really follow it much. Well, after reviewing my food for the past few days I realized i have been eating clean and not even trying. And, I've been very full and not munchie! Yay!
