Will Clean Eating help my tummy shrink?

Last summer I was right around my goal weight, was doing cardio 4x a week and strength training 3x a week yet my stomach was still flabby. I spent 2 weeks eating "clean" (to me)... this meant I was eating fish, veggies, fruit, chicken, nuts... I cut out a LOT of stuff (sugar, processed foods, bread, potatoes, pasta) and still met my calorie goals (was not eating at a greater calorie deficit than before) and within the first week my stomach was MUCH smaller. By the end of the second week my abs were showing. It was the flattest my stomach has ever been (and when I stopped eating that way, my stomach changed). I know people don't think it makes a difference but maybe for some people (like me) it does. Try it out if you want, or don't if you don't think it's for you. Everyone is going to have a different opinion.0

Why do some people feel like they have to be insulting when they add their OPINION to a post, Everyone has something valuable to say whether you agree or not. My opinion is there are many ways to lose weight, but only ONE way to become HEALTHY and its not by consuming a bunch of processed, refined, genetically modified or engineered toxic foods. Getting back to the original question...clean eating will not 'alone' help your tummy to shrink, but overall is 'healthier' for your body, that's my OPINION:bigsmile:
If you ate clean and did NONE or lack a lot of the others, chances are you won't be as healthy as you think. And that's not opinion, it's fact.

Clean eating will help you lose weight simply because there is less enjoyable food to eat, or alternatively
you'd have to make it all from scratch, which is such a pain.
Basically it's a way to fool yourself into having calorie reduction.
Maybe for you but as a chef, I can make plenty of clean meals that are awesome. Cooking from scratch is not a pain to me. It's my life! It's what I do. The best ingredients prepared with skill and love. I can eat tons of "clean food" calories!! LOL0
