Looking for a few clean eating friends :)

Options
I've been on and off of MFP for a while. Had to take most of last year off due to crazy health issues and surgery in June, but I got the "all clear" from my surgeon in mid-December and I'm back!!

I'd love to find a few clean-eating friends. I'm not a purist, but judging by the discussions I've peeked in on, it seems like this is a group of people who aren't the type to lecture me if I throw a few tortilla chips or some pistachio gelato in my diary.


Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2015!!

    Hello!
    I try to log as much as possible, and I am quite interested in clean eating although I would not refuse a pistachio gelato either sometimes ;)
    Anyone may feel free to add me, let's encourage and help each other! :)

    Agree - clean eating is a lifestyle - avoid junk and processed anything but can't live like a monk either. There are varying degrees of clean eating . Mine includes lots of simple foods, very low sodium and sugars and healthy balances. I feel better when i eat this way - I am new to the group and hope to make some friends !!

    I joined MFP Thanksgiving week. I was determined to lose weight instead of gaining weight over the holidays. I practice clean eating and so does my husband and kids. Really I am the only cook so they pretty much have too. I've lost 18 pounds eating 1000-1200 Cals. Per day. I'd love to make friends to give and get support. Also exchange ideas. I'm post menopausal. Age 55, 5'10". I've got 12 more lbs.to lose to reach my goal. I'm really interested in losing then MAINTAINING! I log in several times a day so I am available as a friend.

    Hello, I'm new to MFP and to the Clean Eating Group. 2015 is my motivation to do and learn all things healthy! I've recently turned 50 and have decided it's time to slow the aging process. I'm looking forward to making friends, sharing and gaining experiences, recipes, laughs, triumphs etc.

    I was reading about that just today. It certainly uses the same properties. Fresh food and dairy. Lean protein and healthy oils/fats.

    Hi, I am starting with a clean eating/lifestyle change for the new year, by clean eating I am talking 85-90% of the time, you can't deny yourself or you will never stick with it.

    I started really clean eating about a year ago and it has made a HUGE difference! Tonight we ate out for the first time in a LONG time, and my tummy hurts so bad. I think it's saying, "what is this crap?!" lol

    My family and I have been eating clean for about a year now and my husband and I have lost a combined weight of about 190 pounds. We make everything from scratch and we eat THE BEST FOOD! I couldn't imagine going back to flavorless pre-packaged foods. Feel free to add me!

    I'm not exactly sure what clean means but so far I've discarded packed/processed foods and traded in sauces for seasoning. I stay away from canned foods, even canned beans. I call it real food. When company comes over I think they enjoy our cooking because they always comment on how healthy the meal was. I'm not sure what that really means. If it was me though, I'd like to come away from a friend's table feeling good about the meal rather than over fed and guilty.

    Hi there. I've just started eating "clean" again at the beginning of January and for me right now with a newborn means cutting out mainly refined sugar and any products that contain it. I'm hoping to add more "cut outs" and the weeks and months go on. Add me as a friend and we can help motivate each other!

    I have been cleaning up my diet for about a year now. I have lost quite a bit of weight since I started running about 18 months ago. A clean diet really helps with the running. I Always try to stay open minded to learn more. Any friend requests are welcome. We can motivate each other !!
