    ."Eat clean" doesn't really mean anything.

    Why do you feel you need to give up diet coke? It has little to no calories and so wont have any impact on your weight loss.

    'Clean eating' is also unlikely to make much of an impact on your weight unless you are using it in conjunction with calorie counting, but you will still be able to find some support for it on here even though most people go solely by the CICO approach. Just so you know, clean eating isn't necessary for weight loss, only a calorie deficit is, although I do understand that obviously people chose to 'eat clean' for other reasons.

    If you're looking for support a quick search can bring up all sorts of threads and groups- here's the first clean eating one I came across.

    It's more because I feel better when I don't eat chemicals in processed foods

    For me eat clean means not eating a bunch of crap but eating real food while food and not chemicals in my food so that's what I meant

    It's unnecessary to give up anything. Eat in a deficit and you'll lose.
