Does anyone else on here "Eat Clean"?

I love old rot, can't give it up completely.

I have that book also. I've been eating a lot cleaner, just not completely clean, I admit.

I don't have the book, but I have started switching some foods out for cleaner varieties. I still have certain things that I "cheat" with because I just don't want to give up some of my old favorites.

I would love to learn more about it myself. I am trying to eat mostly all natural foods (fruits, veggies, white meats, etc). You are right junk food is so process and has so many additives it polutes our system. Thank you for sharing.

eating clean is relevent to the person. Meaning, "eating clean" means different things to different people.

I dont have the book either and I feel that I eat about 90-95% clean. Its the only way to truly do it if you want to lose and be healthy! The magazine sounds good I will have to look into that. Two other great books that I read on the topic are "The perfect 10 diet" and Jillian Michaels "master your metabolism".

Is this a book by Jillian Michaels? I am doing alkalarian diet. The ultimate indicator of health is the pH balance of your blood. From your common cold, to cancer is acid related. 95% of the foods on the are acid producing. I eat 90% dark green vegetables. To me this is clean eating. This is why I said earlier “clean is a relevant word.” What may be clean to you may be very toxic to me, or the other way around. A low carber would say a clean diet is a diet low in carbs.

I saw your diet, the only thing is acceptable on my diet is the flax seed, not your salad because it has peppers. Looks like the only thing that is acceptable to me is the flax seed oil. Your body needs fats, all of your hormonal processes run on fat. They release CCK(Cholecystokinin) which helps keep you full for longer periods of times. Diets high in complex carbs have been linked to heart disease.

Oh and of course i eat a free day once a week. Yesterday was my free day.

Agreed! The bible talks about "clean" and "unclean" foods. And pig is "unclean" ... Leveticus 11

So I don't eat pig, etc... to me that could mean I'm "eating clean" even though every once in a while I'll eat ice cream or m&ms etc

Like others have mentioned, eating clean really does mean different things to different poeple. When I started researching it I found a thousand different versions depending on who you talked to about it. I've Read Tosca'a book. I am now moving towards eating unprocessed foods. Eating clean to me means antibiotic free meats and organic veggies. I haven't make a complete transition because my husband isn't on board and he likes to eat out alot. I make adjustments when he and I are together and I eat mostly unprocessed when it's just me. I do eat beans, brown rice, steel cut oats just not the instant oats or canned beans. I actually don't eat a great deal of meat either.I started because I wanted to reduce my sodium and after studyign it I thought I would take things a little further.
It's a littlr more work but you can prep your food at the beginning of the week or for several days at a time. This way you can carry your lunch and snacks to work.

I'm not sure yet where I want to end up but I immediately dropped weight and started feeling better. I just started the c25k training and let me tell you thats a minor miracle in itself!!

Good luck in your quest, I know how confusing it can be with sooooooo much info.:bigsmile:

Subscribe to the Clean Eating magazine. It's filled with great recipes, tips and suggested shopping lists every month.

They also have a best of cookbook, everything I have ever made (at least 20 things) have been delic. It's my fav. go to cook book.

I wash all my food before eating it.

You got to wash yourself chris, you're all BLUE...

Eating clean takes time and work, but it really does make a difference. Just getting the processed food, sugar and white flour out of the diet is going to put anybody ahead of the curve.

I don't know what you mean by work. If you mean preparing meals and stuff... compared to fast food, yeah it takes work. I put 2 cucumbers 2 tomatos, 2 avocados, 3 lemons, some oregano, some hemp protein all i a blender... and that is about 700 calories. Didn't take more then 5mins..
