Anyone else going Clean and Lean?

if you want a plan that works but allows real food and fruit 4 servings a day.. check out eat to live. its more plant based, but i have seafood or fish and i have went since march 220 pounds to 165.. i make all my own foods. i look up recipes and just modify them.

its a lifestyle not a diet.. ill look up clean and lean..

i have a group for motivation if you want to join

That's good news for me then
I usually don't eat carbs in the morning, but I'm hungry if I don't get any at lunch and dinner.
For example today I will have 50g of cooked Quinoa with my Chicken Salad and probably something like a Sweet Potato with Chicken and Veg for dinner.
My cravings aren't too bad, but it can get difficult when your other half can eat whatever he likes....and does it in front of you.

At the moment I am really enjoying it !
What sort of snacks do you eat?
I usually eat some raw carrots and some natural yoghurt with a handful of fruit.
Require some fresh ideas before I get bored.

This plan sounds right up my ally! Thanks for the book suggestion :flowerforyou:

My current plan sounds similar. I do 30 minute dinners (must be quick, easy, and healthy) that usually follow this formula:

1 protein (baked chicken breast, pan-seared buffalo steak, grilled salmon, etc.)
1-2 veggies (steamed broccoli and carrots, baked sweet potato, grilled veggie skewers, roasted asparagus)
1 whole grain (quinoa, barley, brown rice, sometimes I count potatoes as grains)
some salad (we just make ourselves eat it- spinach, mixed greens, romaine, whatever greens are around)

I keep plenty of simple ingredients and sauces around for quick flavors (BBQ sauce, salad dressing, green onions, garlic, lemons, avocado, lime, fully stocked spice rack). They yield dishes like lemon-pepper fish, garlic chicken, barbecue steak, balsamic asparagus, quinoa-green onion salad, and the like. Hope this is helpful for your dinners and again sounds like a good book- thanks!

I've been eating clean since the first of the year. I bought a belt to measure - it just fit me when I bought it - first hole. I'm on the third hole now. I don't snack and I don't feel hungry. In fact last night I felt full, like I over ate. I had peanut butter & jelly on whole grain bread for breakfast. Black bean & corn salad with mashed avacodo/lime juice for a dressing. Steak, steamed broccoli & carrots with a salad for dinner. Today same breakfast, for lunch homemade vegetable soup with chicken. Dinner will be stir fried (in sesame oil) shrimp on field greens with a pear.

I don't understand why your diet won't let you eat fruit. Non processed & grows on a tree. How is that not clean?

I don't have a book, just started eating unprocessed food.

Thanks for your response. I see, I guess some people could overdo the fruit since it is sweet.

Thought I might share something from the Lean & Clean Facebook page;

Finding it hard not to snack then reach for some Olives when the craving comes. They are a great source of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids that help kick fat out your fat cells and into your bloodstream, where they can be burned off more easily.

I personally love Olives so I am happy

Maybe you should have smaller portions but eat more often to keep your metabolism high?
Or just keep going and see how you are getting on.

I've had an awful day yesterday, did not have enough for breakfast, so I was hungry all day therefore constantly snacking on clementines and almonds during the day and after dinner I ended up eating an Orange.
But surprisingly I was weighing less this morning, so not feeling too guilty.

How often do you weigh yourself?
