    I'm not sure what clean eating is. If it's what I think, no processed food, then that is the way I eat whether thinking about my weight or not. How I eat is also tracking the calories in the food I normally eat. It is easiest for me to change portions than to change the food I eat.

    Some people are so f'ing rude! Obviously the OP is asking for a reason...and I'm pretty sure it's not for dumb *kitten* replies!!

    I eat about every 3 hours. I tried low carb and it worked OK til my workouts became more intense and I started running. Now I eat as balanced as possible, with little processed foods and lots of water.

    Some people are just joking to lighten the mood.

    I think about every single thing that goes into my mouth. Lots of raw veggies, homemade soups, unprocessed food, fruits. None of the obvious unhealthy things,

    Pescatarian but that's it for 'diet', I eat normal foods, just watch portion sizes, mostly healthy but with treats thrown in when I want them.

    I *try* to eat more fruits and vegetables, more fiber, more protein, and less fat, carbs and sodium. I still eat everything I want (I have pepperoni pizza every Thursday) but I limit the portions and adjust the rest of my meals for the day to make it fit in. I am not giving up anything I love, but I don't value some of my previous favorites as much as I used to either.

    Thanks for asking this, I wondered how ppl ate also. I eat pretty much everything (except chips) that I used to but less of it so I stay within my calorie limit. I try to eat more of the veggies that I do like and when it comes to bread, I eat the sara lee 45 calorie multi-grain cause it's low in calories and still taste good. For me just watching my calories means I eat less potatoes and starches.

    I eat very well. Six times a day, and within my calorie limit. I don't leave anything out except if I have gone off it.

    I eat whatever I want and just stay under my allotted calories for the day.

    I have read a lot of people have had success with eating clean, but if you are going to change your diet please make sure it is a change for life! As soon as you drop it, you run the risk of gaining again.

    That's why I decided to just focus on calories anyway. I know that I could personally never do clean eating or paleo or keto or anything else for life.

    This. I have cleaned up my diet a lot, but still eat out and have a cookie every now and then. I HAVE to have meat since I started lifting heavy, so being a vegetarian is not something that I could fathom right now.

    I eat whatever I want. I just watch how much of it I actually eat.

    Never changing what I'm eating because I know I'll end up binging on it.
    Everything in moderation is my mantra when it comes to food :smile:

    Feel free to add me and check my diary for more details :smile:

    I try to eat as little processed food as possible, whole grains and veggies everyday. Beside that it's mostly a question of staying under my cals and keeping within my macros 80 % of the time

    I eat what I want within my calorie allotment. I could never eat "clean" forever. I think I'd die haha! Just kidding. I like ice cream, mac and cheese, Italian food, etc. too much. It is a lifestyle you're after so eat how you would want to eat the rest of your life. Though, I eat fairly well throughout the day.

    Some people go with "IIFYM" or If it fits you macros. Basically eat whatever you want if it fits your carbs, protein and fats. I do clean eating. I just feel better and fuller and healthier. I eat small meals 6 to 7 times a day. I basically eat every 2 hours. It just works for me better. It is a personal preference tho.

    For clean eating, there are some many changes that you can make while still being able satiate craving.

    I am not one to say "eat high this and low that" because I feel like everyone's bodies react different to different things at different phases in their journey (for example I did low carbs for a while and helped until I was at a plateau and needed carbs to get to the next level."

    Listen to your body! Good luck!
