    If you want some awesome recipe ideas, I have several. WOuld it be worth posting them in the forum?

    I eat pretty "clean" (but rarely use the word). But, I don't log my food. I do mention my meals, and sometimes post recipes on my profile and in my group "the perimeter shoppers". Feel free to add me.

    Hi...this makes my 2nd week on MFP and also my 2nd try at clean eating. Like the original poster said, I have a soft drink addiction (only mine is caffeine free Diet Pepsi).

    My first attempt at clean eating was about a year ago, by reading Tosca Reno's books. The recipes either a.) tasted awful or b) required ingredients not available in my rural community.

    I'm looking to be 80/20 clean because...
    1.) Eating clean when those around you aren't is isolating (there's no way my husband is going to clean eating)
    2.) My in-laws invite us over ALL THE TIME for BBQs and their menu is far from clean. I've tried bringing healthy side dishes, but I end up being the only one eating them while my brother-in-law smells them.
    3.) I believe in moderation

    I do, though, want to get rid of the soft-drink addiction and the designer coffee addiction. The Mocha Freezes I drink are 444 calories each, and sometimes I have 2-3 a day. No wonder I need to lose 50 pounds.

    I'm not just wanting to eat clean for weight loss, but also for health. There's a saying that if you can't pronounce one of the ingredients in your food (or you don't know what it is), then you shouldn't be eating it.

    Hello! I have been a quite sometime. In the past I would mostly just exersise alot and count calories but not really pay attention too much to what I eat. Over the last year or so I've gained 30 pounds and I just can't seem to make my weight budge! It used to be so much easier! lol. anyways, I just started this clean eating thing. It's only been a couple of days but all ready a little frustrated with it. I just feel hungry all the time and my food that I am eating is boring and not very flavorable. I would love some help and ideas. :) oh, and I also struggle with not wanting to give up my creamer in my coffee. I'm trying to cut down but I really enjoy that!

    I'm on day 26 of eating clean. I dove in and gave things up cold turkey. It was a dramatic shift. I chose to do it to rid my body from all the garbage it's been fed for so long. Eating clean is a part of my new meal plan and workout plan to achieve lean and toned results in my physique. And I also need new friends that have similar eating habits in mind. Yes, it can get boring sometimes but then you have these A-HA days which are awesome. Please add me to your friends list. :)

    I usually see good ideas in magazines or google a meat to build a meal around for lean meals. You can find good stuff on the web

    What I found sustainable for me really is only the 80/20 rule, 80% of the time healthy, 20% healthy or not, depending on the Situation. It makes it easier for me to eat over 80% o.t. time healthy because I always tell myself that his meal is far from the last one I'll ever get to eat and I won't miss out on anything. Takes away the stress :) If that makes sense

    I'm working on eating clean, at least by my definition. - it's definitely the destination I'm heading towards. I am eating mostly home cooked food, but I do eat a lot of processed meats (sausage) and some packaged starches like quinoa cakes.

    I guess it's probably an 80/20 thing!!! If you can eat clean 80% of the time that's really good I think!!! Really want to eat clean as much as possible!!!

    Hiya

    I'm on day 8 of Whole 30 and am pretty much eating clean....apart from my 1 mug of good strong black filter coffee in the morning!!!! Pretty much everything else I've been having is home made meals from fresh ingredients....not 100%.....but doing as well as I can. Lots of water (obvs), veg, fruit, fish, poultry, meat, eggs, nuts, healthy fats....am occasionally having bacon/ham/sausages but these are all very good quality, high % of meat varieties not the cheapo nasty types. As per whole 30 rules; no booze, no dairy, no legumes, no grains, no sugar. Weirdly, I'm not really missing sugar/dairy/booze much but I'm looking forward to reintroducing legumes & brown rice once my 30 days are up. They are considered clean, right?

    Maria.
