Hi...I'm looking for some clean eating buddies! I'm just getting in to, or trying to get in to - clean eating. I have a couple cookbooks and received my first clean eating mag today!..I've made a few meals but fall of the wagon easy. So I'm just looking for people who may be willing to swap information and/or offer advice in being succesful! Thanks!

    Me too. I read a blog about it last night and started today. I think it will take time and a lot of learning for me. I'm excited to start eating cleaner. I can imagine it will be great for our health...and waistlines lol.

    I am a Clean eater. I abide by Tosca Reno's "The Clean Eat" book series. Here is a blog I wrote on it if it helps.

    I'm not following any specific book or anything, but I try to eat as clean as I can. About the only pre-prepared stuff I buy is Greek yogurt, hummus, and tofu, and I always read the ingredients to make sure there are no additives before I buy them.

    I have a serious girl crush on Tosca Reno! Love Oxygen mag, and LOVE the Eat Clean cookbooks, workout, and mindset! Back to the basics, everyone.

    I'm a clean eater - pretty new into it and am always looking for recipes and such. Absolutely love it! So healthy, delicious, and nutritious.
    Feel free to add me as a friend! Shall we start a clean eats recipe thread? I'd love to see what everyone has for meal ideas.

    Can you clarify what your definition of clean is?

    I am not following a plan, but eat almost no processed food, have been a vegetarian for almost 30 years (I would be vegan, but I consume small amounts of yogurt) and try to stay raw as much as possible.

    If this works with your diet, I would be happy to have you as a friend!

    I try to eat clean, I am vegetarian, I try to eat unpackaged foods, a lot of raw or steamed foods, whole wheat bread. I pretty much try to eat things that expire quickly and aren't out of a box.


    i throw together salads with whatever is in the fridge. spinach eggs and strawberries are not too bad together

    I've read some of Reno's books as well - and I like what they say for the most part. To me clean is as little as processed as possible.. I love me some dairy so I could never be vegan! I'll send out a friend request soon! THanks!

    I havent spent much time in the recipe board, do they have much in the way of clean eating over there? I think a recipe thread would be a great idea!
