    To ease your way into it, try shopping only the perimeter of the grocery store ~ skip anything boxed or items with more than one ingredient. It takes a bit of getting used to and your food diary will be a longer list of items, but it is well worth it. Also, one big "no-no" of clean eating is artificial sweeteners.

    Check your library for Clean Eating magazine. It gives a good insight into what it takes. As previous posters mentioned, there are varying degrees of clean eating. I don't go hardcore clean eating, because some days I really "need" a good dose of Cheetos (I am trying to curb my fake cheese powder addiction), but do opt for clean eating 80-90% of the time.

    Love Clean Eating Mag - if you go to thier website - they have a lot of information and recipies there...
