    Thanks for the replies everyone. They have really inspired me to eat clean now. I try to eat clean, but I always want junk food so badly! And I feel miserable depriving myself of it. So I think, well if I keep it within my calorie limit it will be okay, so then I end up eating junk food. :/ But then I feel like it's getting in the way of my weight loss. So I'm going to stick to eating completely clean and see if it makes a difference for me.

    For 4 years I was gluten free vegan that ate only whole foods and nothing processed. My sense of smell was that of a super heroes. And it wasn't a good thing. I could smell someone from aisles away at the grocery store. Whenever I cooked with any kind of oil even 1/2 a teaspoon I would get sick. Too much salt, too much fruit..i'd get sick. My body was too clean. Now I have added some junk into my system and do feel a lot better. I had to find a happy medium. When I was a teenager living off fast food I never really could taste my food. Bow my sense of smell is better and I feel so much healthier.

    Absolutely! I lost 4 pounds of FAT in a week from eating clean.
    While calorie intake does have a part of weight loss, what those calories are made of is just as big a part. It's all about the sugar and fat levels in the food. If your daily calorie limit is 1,400, and you eat 1,400 calories in fruit, great! But, if you eat 1,400 calories in oreos, while that may be the same amount of calories, the sugars and fat in those calories will not be put to good, natural use (or at least the same good, natural use as fruits and veggies).
    Long story short, eating clean is great for you and your body.

    Clean eating makes you feel more vibrant, energetic, happier and alive than any other diet, ime.

    To me, I don't understand wanting to lose weight, but still throwing junk inside your system so your insides are rotting away from all the excess salts, sugars and sat fats etc etc It makes no sense.


    Calorie deficit per se, is not where it's at.

    If your only goal is weight loss, I don't think it matters at all what you eat, only the calories matter.

    I feel a lot better when I avoid processed foods. More energy, less hungry. That helps me exercise more intensely than I would otherwise, so it might help weight loss from that angle.

    Yes, I like the way my skin looks at 50! Also diets that remove large food groups such as refined grains and sugars, and or dairy and meats, make easy it easy to be in deficit!
    Has exercise helped me? Yes I've exercised all my life fat or thin!
    Do I eat anything I want say socially? Yes I eat what's on offer!

    Yes it does, I find my workouts harder if I've been eating crappy food, even if it is within my calorie allowance.

    In terms of weightloss, no it doesn't make a difference. Calories in vs. Calories out.

    But if you want to feel the best you've ever felt then YES, huge difference!

    I think it changes body composition but not always weight. My figure is tighter, my skin more hydrated, my hair and nails are stronger, I never get bloated, you sleep better and are more alert, my body is less tired and more responsive!

    I had a bad week last week and all I craved was a gorgeous fresh salad with chicken breast! Never crave bad food anymore!

    Do you guys really see a difference when you eat clean vs. not eating clean (but still sticking to your daily calorie restriction)? I hear a lot of people say that they can eat unhealthy and lose weight as long as they have a calorie deficit, and eating clean doesn't make a difference. Does it make a difference for you? Do you lose significantly more weight while eating clean?

    Nope

    If you were to hold cals and macros constant but one diet contained whatever it is you call unclean foods and another diet only contained "clean" foods, weight loss will be the same or not significantly different

    I don't think that would be true. I think the opposite would be true.

    Most of the time I eat pretty clean but I'd been having a plateau for a while. Yesterday I had 2 slices of pizza along with some of my usual foods. This morning I was down 2.4 pounds. I didn't feel as good yesterday but I'm very carb sensitive. I felt tired all day. It's all relative. Eat what makes you feel best and helps you lose the weight.

    for me personally it has made all the difference, not only in weight loss but my over all health. Sure I could eat processed food and be under my calorie goal but at what cost to my body? I eat little out of a bottle or box, rice crackers are about it from a box, and from a bottle is my oils I use to make sauces, and my beloved mustard - love mustard! Oh and PB that is my one daily indulgence.

    I'm not a happy camper unless I get a varied diet of fresh and tasty foods.

    Personally I have not noticed a difference. I don't really like the term "clean" but when I cut out completely foods I really loved I just thought about them the whole time! I think it's great if you enjoy a "clean" diet and it makes you feel good but it wasn't for me. I enjoy my food and make sure I eat a variety of fruit, veggies, grains but I also regularly eat chocolate and pizzas. I just make better choices these days. So instead of a huge takeaway pizza I tend to buy my own that has less cheese and more veggies. It comes out at 430 calories for the whole pizza. I feel totally satisfied and don't feel like I am on a diet, it's just a lifestyle change.

    10 days ago I started eating clean with the goal of losing about 2 pounds a week, I need to lose 18 more pounds to be at my ideal weight, but when I first started several years ago I was my heaviest at 225. I recently had shoulder surgery and haven't been able to work out, so I decided to really focus on diet while I am wounded. I CAN'T believe the difference it has made. I have already lost 8 pounds, 1 inch of my waist and stomach, and two inches off my hips. I am shocked! I know they say that you don't want to lose it too fast, but I am not hungry during the day. I eat plenty of food, just whole, nutritious food. Lots of fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains, and water, lots of water! Not only have I dropped weight, I feel GREAT! I have been in a fantastic mood, my skin is clear and glowing, and I am sleeping. I feel like I can carry this eating pattern throughout the rest of my life. I haven't had any processed sugar, fast food, or alcohol. But I know if I want to have a couple glasses of wine over dinner some night, I can. I just wanted to post, in hopes that maybe I could inspire someone out there looking for hope that they too can lose weight, feel good, and be healthy. Self discipline isn't always easy, but it holds a great reward of self respect and accomplishment. Keep your goals in front of you and pursue them with confidence…you will be successful. Also, a big thing for me is working on the thoughts in my head…staying positive and learning to love myself just as I am. I think if you are healthy in your mind..your body will follow.

    After stuffing myself full of carbs last year to run my first marathon this year I have started clean eating, I have given up bread, white pasta, white rice & potatoes amoungst other things swapping them for rye bread, brown rice, sweet potato and more protein. Although I must admit I do have a relapse now and again with the ocaissional chocolate treat overall I have never felt healthier, I am less tired, sleep better, better digestion and I even run faster than I ever have before. Clean eating is good for you all round and it isnt going to kill you if you still have a naughty treat now and again. the thing I like about clean eating is you can consume much more without reaching your daily calorie allowance.

    I think yes! Possibly the weight will come off either way, but eating cleaner will have so many additional benefits and in my opinion will help you keep the weight off longer. Eating less and tracking it everyday is easy. Once you stop it can be hard to keep the weight off. If you eat well now it will stick with you for life. But enjoy your treats too!

    Absolutely I notice a difference! I can see my abs within about 3 days and let me tell you- I just lost about 2 kg in less than 2 weeks eating around 1500 calories per day and exercising (Pilates, Zumba and HIIT) and I only weighed 65.2 kg to begin with! This morning I was 63.1 kg. So yes, I am eating more than before of clean foods and losing a heck of a lot more body fat as a result.
    Hydration is also important- aim for 3 L per day!

    For me clean eating made all the difference. When I started I was hooked on sugar and junk food. And giving that stuff up was the hardest stuff I had to do. However I went cold turkey natural sugars in fruit and milk only and no junk food or instant meals. All my food was cooked from ingredients for 2/3 weeks and that broke my sugar and junk food addiction and it made ALL the difference. I swear to god it is the best thing I ever did for myself. When you eat clean nutritious food you simply feel less hungry because your body usually has all or most of what it needs within your calorie restriction. I only really get bothered by food cravings if I eat a lot of empty calories and my body still wants stuff. It makes sense if you think about it your body doesn't care about calorie limits it's just going to keep saying I'm hungry till it get's what it needs. And in general willpower can only go so far It WILL get what it needs.

    Now I'm not saying you have to eat 100% clean forever but it really makes a huge difference to adjust your habit so that a majority of your diet is clean nutritious food. You get less hunger pangs. And honestly if you can cook worth a damn the food tastes a lot better. And is generally less calorie dense so you can eat more of it. Sugar is the worst part of dirty eating. It is ABSOLUTELY addictive. You've heard of people who can't live without full sugar soda or chocolate right? They are addicts plain and simple. Don't get me wrong sugar has it's place in your diet. But you need to make sure your metabolism doesn't become hooked on the quick easily burned energy it provides.

    To top it all off when you are addicted to sugar things taste less sweet. You often hear the line . I can't drink diet soda it tastes like *kitten*. That was me. Now diet drinks taste about right to me. Full sugar sodas taste sickly sweet.. And fruit tastes awesome again not tasteless and bitter like it did before.

    Not only that but if you somehow manage to resist eating over your calorie limit and eat dirty your reward at the end of your diet is basically that you have wrecked your health your body and organs are starving for nutrition your muscles have probably wasted away and your skin lacking the resources to repair itself now hangs off your frame like droopy the dogs face. Hardly the outcome you would wish for right? Besides in that sort of situation once you go back to eating a decent amount of calories you usually just blow up again. I think by far the best approach is to make your body healthier. If you try and shift weight at the expense of your bodies actual health you will just wreck yourself. And a Healthy well fed body at a moderate calorie deficit will drop pounds quite willingly.

    Basically go full clean for a few weeks. And see the difference for yourself. You will lose weight more reliably suffer less from hunger be healthier and after you are comfortable you can treat yourself to the occasional slice of cake or soda can or junk food meal as a treat. Dirty calories aren't really bad as long as your body get's enough nutrition from your overall diet not suffer.

    Well that's my experience with it.

    If you've got better digestion going, you're going to lose more weight. Retain less water and be less bloated.

    I have always "eaten clean" - even my binges were on food made from scratch and I partly credit it for being in very good health even when I was very overweight (good blood sugar and cholesterol levels, no gestational diabetes during my pregnancies...)

    After I switched to only healthy food - maybe a couple months in - I broke down and ate part of a cheeseburger and fries. When I felt icky later, I realized what a difference the healthy food made. I was so shocked to realize it. I'd never really believed people did feel so much better eating only healthy food.

    After that, it wasn't at all hard to skip that stuff. I wasn't eating healthy food just because I had to. I was doing it because I wanted to.

    The cravings and "Oh, poor me, I can't eat cake" had gone away after a couple weeks, but I'd still been missing the red meat. After that, I didn't even care about the red meat. I still miss the taste of ribs and barbeque, sometimes, but I'd rather skip them. :)

    When I eat clean, I eat meat, veggies, fruits, even ancient grain breads, brown rice., etc. The thing I love is that I don't have to count calories. I did this for one year (due to a health issue) and I lost about 45 lbs. without trying. AT the time, I wasn't concerned with losing weight, just with getting healthy. I ate whatever, however much I wanted of clean foods. In my case I didn't eat. dairy or processed foods.
