    Also, no white stuff...bread, potatoes, rice or dairy

    this has to be a lie.

    potatoes are just a root vegetable. its healthy in moderation.

    wild rice/black rice is minimally processed.

    and many forms of dairy are perfectly healthy. xP
    I think eating clean is just about eating whole, minimally processed foods.

    found this online. check it out.

    i reccomend you do some personal research before bringing your question to the forums. :3

    Yeah, I know what you mean. It's not dairy or gluten either. There have been a few threads here on this topic in the past. A quick search would yield much...

    The OP could also try some of the excellent magazines available like clean eating for recipies and tips which I believe were also mentioned in previous threads.

    I've done searches before, even follow people on Facebook with a clean eating site. Its just so "all over the place" for some people its nothing processed, for others its only a raw diet, for others its just eliminating a few things, for others its eliminating everything! Gluten is ok, Gluten is not ok. Thats the reason I brought it up here.... To get a better idea of what works for different people, get recipe and meal ideas, and see what the benefits are. It is a forum after all.
    I appreciate all the comments, ideas, and tips...

    I can't understand why gluten would make a difference. For me, I consider it to mean nothing processed, which I try to do as best I can, but sometimes I do eat processed foods--makes life easier. If I was going to buy a bread product, it would not be a gluten free product as those tend to be more processed and have more fillers than regular bread products.

    Get the book, it will explain it all to you. I will PM you the link, since it is against TOS to post a link for a page where you can buy it.

    Clean eating means something different to each person. I eat "clean", back to the source whole foods. However, I also use Protein Shakes, not clean in some's books.

    I highly recommend you read Tosca Reno's book "Eating Clean Recharged". I've read the book and it's pretty much fresh fruits, veggies, lean meat/protein, and whole grains. The book even contains great "dessert" recipes. For the most part that's what I'm currently doing (eating clean). Still need to make additional adjustments but I will say it definitely makes the body "feel" good.

    The only way gluten makes a difference to a clean diet is that many grains are now genetically modified (GMOs). This has increased the natural gluten in those products many times (I’ve read numbers like a 70% increase). It’s caused many of the problems we see now as celiac and gluten intolerance/allergies. I suggest using less than more. An example would be a sandwich made with sliced bread rather than a bagel (same as 4 slices of bread). Thin sliced bread is better still. Bought flour seems to be a better quality for me than store baked bread so I make my own bread. I can get organic flour so that’s a choice I can make. This may not be practical for you. There are different levels of clean eating and the idea is to do what you can to preserve your health and the health of your family.

    GMOs are created in a lab, are not natural and are a huge concern for the future of our food sources. These products are aggressively marketed to farmers and, even if only one farmer in an area buys in, all those grains have crossbred and now contain the GMO gene. The manufacturer of the GMO product, Monsanto, has gone so far as to sue the farmers who are the victims of the cross breeding (patent infringement) to the point of bankrupting those farmers. It’s really hard to get non GMO wheat and corn at this point. The only wheat that won’t cross breed with the GMOs is Emmer.

    GMO Salmon is scheduled for market this year.
