    Have a look at my diary! I am currently carb cycling on a really clean diet :))

    For me, clean eating is nothing highly processed or artificial, with as few additives or preservatives and as close to natural state as possible.
    That means: meats, homemade bread, oatmeal, eggs, tofu, beans (dried, not canned) and grains, certain dairy products (cheeses, yogurts, butter), fresh vegetables and fruits, homemade baked goods.
    It also means doing my best to steer clear of commercial breads, sweets, and prepared foods, and only buying if they have no polysyllabic additives that I can't pronounce.
    My list contains several items that might have some say "Oh, THAT'S not clean eating!", such as white flour and dairy. As you can tell from this thread, clean eating means something different for everyone. Make your own choices.

    I'm still a work in progress. I can't afford organic and I can barely afford to eat clean, it's so expensive. Not to mention, I am far from being a chef or great cook for that matter. I'm trying to make small changes a little at a time. Right now I have a Green Smoothie for breakfast, then a hard boiled egg for snack (also for protein), then for lunch I eat whatever I want, usually a sandwich or something in small portions. I have Kellogs Special K Cracker Chips for afternoon snack, then dinner I sometimes have a salad and dinner is usually a meat and two veggies. I use Olive Oil to cook in and try to bake or broil most of the time. And I just try to eat in moderation. And all I drink is water all day, except for two cups of coffee in the mornings. Work in progress for sure. I'm just trying to do it slowly so I don't get bored and overwhelmed. It's got to be simple for me.
