Define it...I'm sure your definition of "clean" will just be one of about a gazillion.
Personally, I just eat a well balanced and varied diet that happens to be rich in whole foods...but I'm not afraid of grains and legumes and I don't consider having a can of this or that to be "unclean."

Eating clean is a *kitten*, and mildly derogatory term dubbed to make money
Paleo is a diet plan based off fallacies of what paleolithic people ate in order to make money
They are just labels for people who like labels to feel better about themselves or other people.
I would counter that food not generally labled as "clean" - thinking fast food, highly processed boxed and canned food - make some people an awful lot more money than the clean camp. Food chains and medical bills come to mind....
Just saying.
OP - the general forums are a great place for bashing labels. To each their own. Find what makes you feel best. There are groups for paleo, primal, keto, whatever you might be interested in. They're a lot friendlier.
Fast food is generally cheaper than then the organic foods "clean" eaters claim they eat.
Why would non "clean" eaters have higher medical bills?
By calling YOUR diet clean, you are somehow saying my diet is Unclean or filthy.
Do i eat fast food? yes I do
Is it common place? maybe once a month, sometimes more
Do I eat "clean"? depends on whose definition you are going with but most of the time I eat "clean" or "paleo" or whatever other label you want to call it.
I tend to say I eat food.
I stand by the fact "clean eating" is a *kitten*, mildly derogatory label.-1 -

I feel like Sunday's a good day. what say you to Sunday the 23rd?? Perhaps we should open a thread up in the Food Forum- or just leave it to the gainers??? You opened it here- which means we cross pollinated- I'm game either way- the more the merrier. Although- I think it should be a separate function of PB and Nutella- one doesn't count for the other.0 -

I stand by the notion that you can lose weight and still eat peanut butter...so, peanut butter for the masses!0 -

soldiergrl_101, I can't say I know the difference between the two. But I eliminated packaged foods, added lots of fruits/veggies, drank protein shakes (made w/almond milk) and lots of water. Added Quinoa for extra protein. I did this 3 months, lost 35 lbs. and my health was much better. I am no longer taking prescriptions for acid reflux and didn't have to start on medicine to lower my blood pressure. What I did wrong, was to slowly go back to the old habits and gained back part of the weight. Now, the arthritis has flared back up, so I am going back to clean eating! Hope this helps!0

I think that there's a big difference between choosing to eat or avoid foods that aggravate someone's health problems and eating a "clean" diet for weight loss.

There are a surprising number of posts on MFP from people who claim to be unable to eat them. I've even seen posts from people who claim to "eat clean" who don't eat them. They seem to think that not eating bread or some such makes a diet healthy, even if it's vegetable-free.
Not my business, but I hope they at least take a multi.

I doubt it....they probably just fit into her definition of "clean eating"
So many different definitions0 -

This thread will most likely end badly, so here is the best advice I can give you before it all goes up in smoke:
1. Figure out what you are trying to accomplish with your lifestyle change -- weight loss? better health? just eating what you consider to be healthier food? All of the above?
2. Determine what kind of changes you are/ are not willing to make. I recommend making decisions based on what you are willing to do for the rest of your life. It is notoriously difficult to maintain weight loss when you make extreme dietary changes to lose weight and then try to go back to eating "normally."
3. Just eat to accomplish whatever you decided in steps 1 and 2. Don't worry about what you're calling it or whether you are following guidelines in some book or whatever. If you think you need to cut back your carbs, do that. If you feel like you need more protein, do that. If you just want to eat less stuff out of a can or a box and lose some weight, do that on a calorie deficit. Don't get wrapped up in all these definitions.0 -

"Eliminated packaged foods" really leaves no room for interpretation. I'm just keepin' it real0 -

Hmm. I love veggies, but this seems a possible marketing/trend diet bonanza.
Also, in theory, isn't "paleo" supposed to be against the products of agriculture, which would be the vast majority of the veggies eaten today.0
