I'm trying to incorporate clean eating into my life, but I wanted to learn more about eating clean. Does anybody have any websites, books, or any other resources that they recommend ?

    I have been doing the same thing since starting MFP. Mostly, I just cut out artificial sweeteners (99% of the time...) and have been avoiding high fructose corn syrup as well. I spend a lot of time on the supermarket floor reading labels, and seeing how many words I actually recognize. I wish I had some actual resources for you, but with a little bit of thought you can definitely get started. Good luck!

    Michael Pollan's In Defense Of Food is good.

    Yep Clean Eating magazine gives lots of great recipes. We shop at WHole Foods and Trader Joes and try to not eat too many boxed foods. Clean eating is great! Good luck!

    There is this book call "150 healthiest foods" that they have at B&N. It's really good and explains why some foods are better for you than others. Hope this helps. Good luck!

    There is a book called "The Clean Eating Diet" by Tosca Reno. It is actually meant to be a way of life. I try to follow it on the weekdays and cut some slack on the weekends. I feel better when I follow it and I tend to get more of my fruits and veggies in.

    The company my Husband works for offers a couple of websites for recipes and ideas for better eating.

    http://www.nutrition.gov and http://www.heart.org

    I hope this helps.

    Tosca Reno has several books (includes two cookbooks) on this subject.
