    Eat healthy, whole foods, preferably of the single ingredient variety.

    www.eatcleandiet.com It is a good diet or should I say way of eating. I don't follow it 100%, but I do feel better when I get more of that type of food in. Friday night is still pizza night at our house though!

    You've got it right. "Clean eating" is, quite simply, a meaningless term,, because every definition of "clean food" is different. I avoid "diet labels" like the plague.

    It means foods that don't have a lot or any additives to 'clutter' them up - hence, they are 'clean'. It's just a term that stuck for whatever reason.

    More natural foods, less processed, prepacked, ready to eat foods. But not so natural that you don't wash the dirt off. :tongue:

    From eHow:

    "Clean eating" is practiced by bodybuilders and health-conscious people alike.

    I took it as no processed food. Eat things in their natural form.
