I have began the journey into Eating Clean. I have been toying with the idea for awhile now and just believe that it is what I need to do. I have been on MFP for awhile now, went from doing 1200 calories...to cutting my calories even more (I know, I know) and now I just need to get healthy. I have lost 50 pounds so far, and so I am strengthened by that...but I really need some friends on here. I had a bunch when I first started, but then deleted them all when I thought I was going to delete my profile. Now I have one semi-active friend on here and need some encouragement.

I would love others that eat clean since that way I can get ideas on my food and see what they are doing to eat clean. Since I am just starting out, I am just going by guidelines I find online or in the book I bought. A good start, but I would love to see it in action in the diaries of others. And of course have the accountability to others in my diary (open to friends) as well :)

    Hi there, I am also not quite sure what 'eating clean' is, but I am happy to have you as a friend! I am staying away from almost all processed foods and using only fresh foods (fruit & veg) and fresh lean meats and safe fish generally. Basically the stuff you find on the outside edges of the grocery store, not in the middle :-)

    Cheers, Christy

    Hello! I have been eating pretty clean for awhile now. I may have one or two days a month where I may have some sort of processed food but it is pretty rare. I would be happy for you to add me. Good Luck

    So happy I found this!! I'm going to try and start eating clean on Monday. I want to follow the beach body.com nutrition guide, called Michi's ladder, and stick to the top 2 tiers. I'm a little nervous and am going to plan my dinners so I know what to buy at the grocery store. Feel free to add me, I'd love some ideas and encouragement!!

    I just started searching for clean eaters the other day. Add me! I'm fun!

    *But I'm in the middle of a cheat weekend, so avert your eyes from my food diary Friday through tomorrow.

    If this means eating a lot of organic foods and staying away from fast food and overly processed things, then I am definitely trying to do it. I would love to have others on the same journey as friends on MFP.

    I have been "eating Clean" for years if that means to try to stay away from processed foods. If you are referring to that then ...pick mee! I would love to have more friends that eat that way. i love getting ideas from others so anyone that wants to be my friend contact me! I share my food diary. I do have chocolate protein powder everyday though.

    I eat lots of fruits and veggies, daily. I have my oatmeal in the mornings, most mornings, and I usually stick to lots of salads and lean meats for dinner. Turkey, chicken breast, fish. I eat very little dairy, outside of maybe a small glass of fat free milk that I put in my "smoothies" which is fresh fruits, milk and ice. I do eat fiber one 50 calorie yogurts, but I stay away from all cheeses.This seems to be working for me and I pretty much keep everything real. My food diary is open to look at and if it goes to my mouth, it gets logged. After all, if we cheat, who are we cheating besides ourselves, right? Besides, from time to time, I would like for my other friends to give me ideas on where I might better my eating habits for better results. I tried eating at a buffet once and logging that... didn't do so well. I ate once at subway....very bad move on my part... SO.....I just stick to my own foods and that way, I know what I am cooking and eating before I ever cook it. If this is what you mean by eating clean, then feel free to add me. I would be interested in seeing your diary, as well.

    Does anyone have any recipes they'd like to share? I want to make sure I cook a variety of foods so my husband and kids don't start complaining!
