Me too Dallas! Hi and happy clean eating! LOL

New to the group... I try to eat as clean as I can which means no processed foods. I follow a paleo version of eating most times as I am lactose intolerant so that works good for me.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group and to MYFitnessPal...all is overwhelming.

Hello, I am new to the group. I want to start clean eating, but I have no clue of where to start. Help me out please.

I began on the internet looking up the definition of clean eating. From there I cut out all processed foods. There is a whole world out there and it's been exciting. I have come to the point where I actually enjoy looking for ways to eliminate certain foods. Cashews and beans can replace dairy. Lentils can replace nuts in a trail mix. Walnuts can replace certain meats. Avocados can create a dessert. I go to library and borrow recipes books to get ideas and of course your computer is a wealth of info.

I've read several different links and had collected some wonderful ideas, already. Thank you for sharing so much useful info. Counting my calories in the last couple of weeks has made me aware of why I have gained so much weight in the last few years.

If anyone wants another member on their cheer squad, I've been on a mainly whole foods vegetarian diet for over 12 months and am currently transitioning to full vegan whole foods (plus an egg once or twice a week from free range chickens when I get some again.) I am also trying to get to be growing most of what I will be eating.

I would love to have someone on my cheer squad. Though I haven't transitioned entirely to vegan, some say I'm damn near there and it's been fun. Fresh and interesting.

Clean eating as I understand it is to eat foods as they occure in nature. For example if you want turkey breast go to the meat department and get a boneless skinless breast and cook it at
home as opposed to getting processed turkey breast out of the deli.

Hello. I am new to the group and only somewhat familiar with clean eating. Happy Tuesday all!!!

Hi all, I'm Melissa and I'm new to this group. I'm about 65%-70% clean. I do however stay away from fried food as much as possible and am very cautious of what is in my food that I'm putting in my body. Would love to have some like minded friends who care a little more about eating healthy, beneficial food then just staying under their daily Calories.
