I'm a clean eater ... I never drop a crumb 0

lol thats funny :-)I'm a clean eater ... I never drop a crumb0 -
ok proper answer ... I'm two thirds of the way there. I have a ready meal at work for lunch, but all other meals are cooked from scratch. Lots of veg and salad with chicken/fish, but we use lots of spices to pep things up a little.0

I eat that way. Cook everything from scratch, too. The only thing I use that has more than 5 ingredients is my whey protein.0

Even when I was binge eating, it was never processed food. I over ate a lot of freshly cooked meat, pasta, bread and lots of wine. I basically eat clean now without any fat or dairy. If I had a sweet tooth I think I would have been in big big trouble0

Hey!
I eat maybe 75% clean. The only processed foods I eat are cereal as snacks, low cal hot chocolate, I eat a lot of quorn and cheese. I also use Splenda. Other than that I cook everything from scratch.
I wouldn't say I'm a strict clean eater as I don't follow the 5 ingredient rule (for some people it's less than 3!!) I just prefer simple fresh foods.
Feel free to add me if you want 0 -
I avoid processed foods, not sure that I restrict to a max of 5 ingredients, but happy to have you as a friend if you're looking for someone who eats mostly home prepared from scratch meals 0

Thanks yeah looking for some friends to get more inspiration :-) c0

Hello! I've been following a paleo/primal lifestyle since last September! It is tough at first, but the best advice I can give you is to be prepared. Make sure you always have a clean snack handy whilst you're getting over the sugar withdrawals! Add me if you want, I'll support you!0

I think I may be a clean eater then based on your description. My hubby mainly does the cooking. I eat bread though. Does that rule clean eating out?0 -
I must admit, when I cut out the rubbish snacks/choc/cake I almost automatically became a clean eater.
It's a bit bizaare as if you are coking from scratch surely it shouldn't mater how many ingredients you use? Can anyone clarify further?0 -

thats of weight to lose in 5 weeks. people usually say 1-2 pounds a week. you want to ensure the style you chose is sustainanble. i dont cut anything out just dont go crazy as i used to0 -
I don't get the "less than 5 ingredients" thing?
Why does it matter if I make something from scratch that has 10 different things in it? Am I missing something?0 -

i would also like to know the answer!!!0 -
Just done some googling on this and nowhere does it say only 5 ingredients so I would also like sources for this. Also am wondering if a rapid weight loss as described can be sustained? I would think it better to lose gradually 1-2 lbs a week as there are no quick fixes when losing weight far as I know. We have to re-educate our palette and digestion !0

I have seen this on a few posts, eating clean, and don't know what it is, but your comment saying about no processed foods etc is the way I try to eat. so you could enlighten me. I try to eat no processed foods (but do have a thing for tinned toms) I eat wholemeal bread if having bread, I normally only eat raw veg. I do eat pulses. and don't eat red meat, I tend only to eat chicken or fish and occasionally pork. is this similar to eating clean ??0

Hate to say it but maybe this thread is a wind up-the member who started it has an open diary and she seems to exist on processed foods ...0

I'd be very concerned about the amount of muscle you may be losing as well with that kind of weight loss in such a small time period. Be very careful, you need to hang onto your lean muscle as much as possible when cutting back your calories.0 -

thanks surryhills, its an interesting thread, although the original post could be a wind up, I would like to know more about eating clean. Like I stated when I replied to the post I try not to eat processed foods. I cant say I am 100% at it because sometimes its unavoidable, but I really like the concept of it.
I haven't been a big red meat eater for years now and only tend to stick to chicken or fish and the occasional game foods if I know where its been sourced I do try to eat raw when I can and although I will eat things like cereal and pulses. do these fall under the highly processed foods ?? I really don't know. also I do have a thing for tinned chopped tomatoes but am considering doing my own, so I know what's gone into them. processed foods sometimes creeps back into the diet especially if eating out, ie I am a sucker for a subway I am going to do some research into the diet0 -
Have to admire you for that Polly I do cook from scratch mostly but use canned and frozen fruit and veg too. There seem to be lots of people in US who do it. So good luck.0

This is me too. I also have protein powder as I'm a vegetarian. But mostly everything we eat I make. So 80% clean id say0 -

I believe it refers to the items that you buy, for example if you buy a yoghurt, but it has a million flavourings or chemicals in it. So it isn't the amount of ingredients you use to cook something, but making sure each individual item is as clean and 'simple' as possible.
I don't know if I've explained that very well! Basically think of it as rather than using dolmio sauce make pasta sauce yourself from scratch 0 -

Well I recon if you can't pronounce ALL of the ingredients, don't eat it.
