Clean healthy eating

I don't believe in calling it "clean" eating, but Tosca Reno has a few books with her plans and recipes. They have her books at the grocery store, target etc...

I just say that I eat whole foods. I do eat things like cheese and yogurt. But For some reason the "clean" description seems awkward. I guess because I always think of of the unseen pesticides and such on out food. It's a shame organic isn't more affordable. I will say, after I established a whole foods regimen, I saw many positive changes in my body and general sense of well being. At first it felt a little bad, like I was having withdrawal or something from the junk I had been eating. But the second week was much better than the first.

I really like the website 100daysofrealfood.com. Her tomato soup is to die for! Plus she has all kinds of tips to keep things ready and accessible and make them as easy as possible.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm going to check it out. I also meant to say, I have a book called "Vegetables every day". It's also good for ideas.

For myself I've eaten Boca veggie burgers, boiled spinach, and one egg.
Have you tried using Egglant to substitute some things too?
I've made eggplant meatball (cut eggplant into cubes, heat on stove until soft, mix with egg and breadcrumbs, add seasoning, shape into balls and bake for 30-40 minutes on 400 degrees)
and baked an eggplant with couscous, spinach, paprika/ crushed red pepper and spinach.
Breakfast I go between eating, Plain Oatmeal, or banana, soymilk, and special K.
I use wraps instead of white bread. Bagels and fat-free cream cheese, peanut butter and banana.
I drink water with my meals, green tea also curbs appetite.
Oh thin bagels, fat free cream cheese, alfafa sprouts and cucumbers!

To be honest, I don't cook for a family! These are the foods I eat myself, I hope I helped. I'm not sure if your little one will like eggplant, If you plan on making dinner for the entire family. Have you tried making some food for yourself and a different meal for your husband and child? ---also, You're doing a good job on losing weight, and meals, It all depends on what you like and what's healthy for you :] Good luck!

Great ideas!! I'll have to look into some of these too
