    ....anything not processed. So try to eat whole foods. Nothing that comes in a bottle, can, or box.

    NOTHING lasts 10 seconds on the floor at my house. I think the longest any food remained on the floor before one of the dogs got it was about 2.5 seconds. And that was because the dogs were on the other side of the house when the food fell.......

    AHAHAHAHAHA 10 second rule!!!

    It's basically referring to eating unprocessed foods. So if the earth grew it, or it used to roam around on it, you're good to go! :)

    Cryptic descriptions aside, it's nuts, fruits, veggies, seeds, lean meats, and seafood. It doesn't technically include wholegrains, but I eat them and I believe that I eat a relatively clean diet

    There are different variations of clean eating from the Hard-core (grow it with my own hands) to the fairly loose. I fall into the fairly loose because I eat some forms of processed foods like morning star and boca burgers and skinny cow ice cream. For the most part thought, I try to stick with fresh veggies, fruits, nuts, beans, lentils, seeds, lean meats, etc.

    Clean eating - if it had a face or came from the ground - keep to it's purest most natural state as possible...

    which means no processed food (if it has more than 4-5 ingrediates and you can't pronounce them or knwo what it is don't eat it)

    There are different slants to eating clean...

    The purest will tell you - only eat grassfed beef, wild caught fish, free range chickens and eggs, etc..

    myself - I just dont' eat processed food...

    I have been eating fairly clean for the past year (~80-85% of my diet clean) and just stepped it up by embarking on a 30 day Paleo challage (cuts out dairy, grains and beans)

    There are def. differnt levels of clean eating. Some people just cut out most processed foods. Some cut out everything unless its "natural". This website has some good info, and some good suggestions for getting started: www.100daysofrealfood.com
