    Hi - I eat clean, well no wheat, no refined sugar, no processed stuffs, little red meat and only whole foods etc etc and my diary is public. That said I am a bit of a boring eater - I have no problem eating the same thing every day :P x

    I eat *pretty* cleanly- I cook for myself from scratch almost always. Some of my protein choices (like tofu and tempeh) have been processed, but I'm a vegan so I'm not giving those up, heh.

    My food diary's open for business, too.

    Also also - sorry but if you check out "the clean lean diet" by Josh Duigan (Elle mcphersons nutritionist and trainer) there is a 2 week clean eating kick start plan in there - finally got me to kick my sugar habit. :)

    We try to eat clean, and we subscribe to Eat Clean Magazine which is really great with great recipes and wide variety. You'd be surprised at the amount of eat clean items are in the MFP database as well.

    My wife is the wheels behind us eating clean, as she does the planning for the week. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't eat as clean as I do.

    Not sure if you're responding to the thread in general or a specific comment, but in reality most people who eat clean don't "live without the odd processed biscuit" - most of us are somewhere in between, where we avoid as much processed food as is reasonable for our lifestyle, but rare is the person who doesn't eat *anything* processed. I still eat some processed breads/crakers/cookies - but not very often, and I try to make smart choices by buying the ones without much added sugar, salt, preservatives, ingredients I can't pronounce, etc (so the ones that are closer to home-made varieties).

    It's really not that difficult or time consuming of a lifestyle, unless you try to switch all at once. You gradually start replacing the processed foods in your life with home-made or smarter choices. Over time, you get used it and it doesn't seem like a big deal at all. I'll never be 100% "clean" but it's really not that difficult to get to the 80/20 rule - if 80% of what you eat is healthy & clean, then the other 20% won't make a big difference.

    I'm not sure how 'clean' I eat (never heard of that before), dunno if my diary is public... but I'll look into 'clean eating'.
