I eat 40/30/30. You are welcome to take a look. It's not "clean" but I have consistently met my weekly goals and I look forward to eating. (Yesterday was off a bit but the rest is pretty typical for me)0

No idea why anyone would eat a low fat diet. Fat is delicious, healthy, and filling. Helps keep you regular, helps maintain hormone levels, etc.0

As much as possible, you're welcome to take a look at mine. Feel free to send me a friend request too :flowerforyou:0

Heck no! Low fat leaves me hungry.0

Pulling up a chair....
Lol seriously though mine isn't a good one to gander at. I'm breastfeeding and eat pretty much anything in sight. Although I do try to make healthy choices when possible.0 -
Yeah jonny, ok, those eating a 'low amount of bad / unhealthy saturated trans fats' in their diet please reply..
OH! and low levels of pedantic tendencies would be great too!!!
Thanks Leighann, will have a look now!0 -

Saturated fats aren't unhealthy either! Look at the benefits of things like coconut oil, which is almost pure saturated fat.
Trans fats are definitely bad though.0 -

Yeah... I know
I can't say "I just lost 30lb in two months since birth by stuffing my face and breastfeeding" since it wouldn't help you much. But I can say I am doing the C25K too? Hehe 0 -

Yup yup.. I drink coconut water, I cook with coconut oil, I rub coconut oil all over myself daily. Either show me your Godforsaken healthy diet diary and leave the thread title alone or go away pedant before I bite you!0 -
Oh I wasn't being sarcastic Jennychamb, you really are being helpful, if I get even a couple of new foods to add to my diary, I'll be absolutely chuffed!! Am jealous though, I never lost any weight while breastfeeding.. like none, nada.. :noway:0

Not so much low fat... but learning to eat cleaner. My diary is public! I am not so great with keeping up with it but anyone is welcome to check it out.0

My diary is open. I consider it healthy, but it is certainly not low fat. It is high in protein, and very high in deliciousness.0 -
Mine is open to friends. I eat pretty healthy if you want to friend me and take a gander. 0

just be careful you don't go too low-fat, as that can really hinder your progress.
the body needs fat.
i don't eat low fat by any stretch, but it's clean if you wanna peruse for ideas.0 -

lollerz.
don't really think this is what she's looking for brohan.0 -
Thanks very much lads, loads of reading to do later, have had a quick look but nothing serious :happy:
Although had a quick browse through your recent diary Johnny.. Taco Bell, McDonalds, Dunkin' Doughnuts.... I can't afford to eat as healthy as you!!
Kidding, will have a proper look after although I find a lot of the diaries difficult to decipher really, it's just that we don't have a quarter of the brands here that you do in the US so it's hard to know what's plain and what has additives / extras or what is pre-cooked etc. anyway, I'll get there!
Thanks again, much appreciated!0 -

My first two I lost mada myself. Zip. Zilch. Like 10lb after birth and that was it!! I was angry at the "breastfeeding causes you to lose so much weight!" because it didn't work for me. Then this time I just ate meals and snacks like I had in the hospital after baby was born. It was nuts the weight just fell off! Then I realized my mistake. I wasn't eating enough before. So this time I eat 2000+ calories as often as I can. At 2mth pp I'm 30lb down from birth! Crazy. Now I know the secret. Lol
Feel free to follow what I eat. I'm constantly cooking. If you see a meal or item that looks good ask. I'll share my recipes too 0 -
What exactly is a clean diet?0
-
I eat a higher fat, moderate protein diet. You're welcome to look at it if you could kindly ignore this past Tuesday when I went to Chik-fil-a. LOL.0
-
My diary is fairly high in protein. It wouldn't fit a lot of peoples' definitions of "clean," especially lately, and it does tend to be monotonous, but you're welcome to take a look!
ETA - my eating hasn't been that typical for the past week (Easter, having a cold, etc) so I'd look further back than that in mine.0 -
I fit the description.
People who are complaining about low fat being unhealthy, are sorta right. Yes it does help hormone levels but you don't need 80g of fat a day to maintain those hormone levels.
Lowering fat can really help lose weight because of it being so highly caloric.
Feel free to check mine out.0 -
Thanks again for the replies, haven't had a chance yet to sit and have a good gander but will do later, thanks!!What exactly is a clean diet?
Well, in my opinion (and my diet in no way reflects this :happy: ) it would be
Less: White sugar / white flour / chemical additives and all the yummy processed goods they can make
More: Grains / nuts / seeds / fish / meat / healthy oils / fruit / veg
That would be it in a nutshell for me!0 -

I was a super believer in eating-clean clean clean clean.... and I failed every time. I don't think anyone should aim to "eat clean." This doesn't mean that you have to rebel and eat a ton of processed foods either.
I honestly believed that it was what I was putting in my body not how much that made the difference. FALSE.
Choose to eat whole foods because they make you feel good. But don't ever limit yourself from eating something because it is "dirty." Limit something because it will make you feel like crap if you eat it (if it does... for some their bodies metabolize crap easily... for me... nope), or because its a gateway food (if you have those.... mine are brownies... they suck my self control in with every bite and decimate it) or because it doesn't fit into your macros for the day.... but never because it is on an imaginary list of bad foods.0 -
Have a look. You might not like what you see though.

Just don't look at the weekend where he ate a pop tart. We made him do that.0 -

^this. I firmly believe that inadequate fat is a more serious/pervasive problem than people realize. I blame the "low fat" craze for the mindset it created.0 -

You've reminded me that I never count the calories in fish oil supplements... and that pop tarts are still popular (I didn't think they still existed!). Your lunches sound fabulous too!
Leighann, thanks, I know where you're coming from.... but I don't need ideas on the crap food - I have that well covered!! :happy:
Benflando! Great diary - Some questions if you don't mind.. how do you eat 6 'hard boiled' egg whites? Do you literally just eat them on their own? No nothing added? Do you eat the peanut butter on it's own? By the spoonful? What's 'Brisket'? Is it just a steak of beef?
Lauraceaerosa - can you explain the baked oatmeal to me please?? Do you just bake it in the oven.. along with protein powder and milk? Sounds interesting? Peanut butter cheerios... we are soo missing out. :grumble:
Gryfonclaw.. are you Irish?? (Kerrygold cheese) Can I have the recipe for your breakfast quiche please?
That's as far as I've gotten so far, thanks again for your replies0 -
I eat all kinds of things.
My diary is open. :flowerforyou:0
