Clean Eating stripped.... thinking of doing her 28 day challenge. My diary is wide open and i would love to add some like minded friends for support .... or even to do the challenge with???? feel free to add me.....

I used to use Weight Watchers successfully but as soon as I stopped attending the meetings I would gain everything back and then some. Now that I've been on MFP for a couple of months I am realizing that I didn't change my eating habits on weight watchers. I just replaced high calorie processed foods with low calorie processed foods which made it really easy to start packing on the pounds when I stopped the program. I have really changed my eating habits in the last couple of months towards a cleaner diet but I would love to kick it up a notch and learn better how to make clean eating an everyday lifestyle choice. I love all the ideas in here and I will add you guys to get a support group and food ideas.

starting monday - looking for new clean eating friends - x

I just joined this group and am looking for clean eating friends. For me, I grow a lot of my own food in the summer and I follow a lot of Tosca Reno's guidelines, although I am not 100 percent strict. I am looking for some other clean eating friends. I find it so difficult to explain or navigate my dietary plan when eating out or eating with others. People think I'm crazy! I'd like some others who eat like I do to compare diaries and strategies with.

I've been in this group for awhile but haven't been a strictly clean eater - more of a desire to be one! I'm going to order the Tosca Reno book today since so many of you have recommended it. I just watched Knives Over Forks last night, and I think it was the final kick in the butt I needed to go clean. I'd love to be friends with any of you!

This is something I have been wanting to do for so long in my house. I feel like it would be so much better for my son to grow up that way. Now I know a place to look to start! Thank you! Good luck on your weight loss.

I am a clean eater as well (for the most part) 90/10 rule applies to me.

If anyone out there is a clean eater / dairy free, feel free to add me!

(I only eat eggs)

I downloaded a couple of Tosca's books yesterday but was disappointed to see how much meat, eggs and dairy she includes in her recipes. After watching Forks Over Knives, I feel like I've had a religious experience! I really want to eat clean and eliminate animal foods entirely. It's a challenge finding recipes without meat, cheese, milk, eggs, wheat, and process sugar, though!

I am trying to eat clean 95% of the time too. I have non-clean meals, sometimes days... but I am REALLY trying to get away from that. Progressively I have gotten much better at this (I used to eat 85% packaged/processed foods!)

I definitely need motivation too so I will add you. I only have about 5 friends on here and none of them log in daily I decided that I need to start logging EVERY day, even if I go over my goal intake. Good luck!

Tosca has a Eat Clean Vegetarian book. It does include some fish recipes so it's not totally vegetarian but there are some good recipes in it.

Really trying to eat clean and cut sugar and starch out of my diet. Means I have to rely on meat a lot more to fill me up, so anyone else trying to get creative with their meals out there, feel free to send your tips my way

Clean eating has absolutely changed my life... So much more energy and I rarely feel that 3:00pm crash anymore! I'll never go back.... except maybe for a cupcake here and there

Congratulations on your weight loss! That is amazing! I try my best to eat clean. I never eat junk food and stay away from white flour, refined sugar, etc. I follow Tosca Reno's Eating CLean guide. I'd like to be your friend!

I bought Tosca Reno but haven't read it yet, The thing that always gets me about clean eating is every plan wants you to eat so much fish and I hate fish...

I'm a clean eater as well. Haven't heard of this program that you're doing but it sounds great. My philosophy is "if your Grandma wouldn't recognize it as food, don't eat it." I try and eat organic as much as possible and cook everything from scratch. Add me as friend if you like!

This is what I'm trying to focus on right now!

RIGHT?!? Why is the whole "lifestyle" concept so difficult for most people!?! It's not a "diet". Sigh.

Congratulations! I am just starting clean eating again after a few months of eating crap. Hoping to stick with it! It's tough for me because my husband is a picky eater.

I've been looking into clean eating for a while now. If you could give me any helpful info. for me to start on it would be much appreciated. Friends always help when starting a new journey.

I just joined MFP on 11/21 and am looking for any critiques on my diet (11/21 and 11/22 are not pretty, though since then I have been eating pretty clean). Feel free to add me as well!

Eating as clean as possible, while losing weight/fat and maintaining as much muscle possible until ~140 lbs, is my goal.

Me Me Me.....i'm all in too - feel free to add me :happy:

I am trying to eat clean, note I said "trying". Could use some friends also. Will check out Jamie Eason and Tosca Reno. Also subscribed to Clean Eating Mag, hoping that helps.

MrsApprehensive

Add me, I'd say I eat clean about 90% of the time. I'd love more clean eating buddies

Hi all.

I just joined this group and would love it if you clean eaters would add me. I have been exercising regularly for a few months now and have learned that what I am eating plays a major role in my health and weight loss.

I look forward to getting to know you all an supporting each other.

Hello all, I just started doing beach body insanity. I also started eating clean and mostly gluten free. I am especially sensitive to white pasta. I seem to tolerate white bread but never have liked it. I'm trying to feel good again and realized what I eat plays a lot into that. I started incorporating juicing into my lifestyle but every time something changes (like an old friend visiting for example) I go back to my old habits. I've been eating clean for about three weeks and started MFP seriously two weeks ago. Now I'm looking for clean eating friends to creep their diary and get ideas to keep variety in my diet.

Hi, my name is Carolina. I am a 20 year old college student. I have been wishy-washingly eating clean for quite a while, but officially took the plunge to total Clean & Gluten Free eating on 11/27/12 (midway through the day ... ha ha). Overall I have done pretty well so far, but am still learning. I have struggled with stomach/digestion issues for a while and already feel much better since going clean. I can't wait to see what is to come! I would love to have some more clean eating friends for help and support. Please add me! (:
