    Eat healthy, whole foods, preferably of the single ingredient variety.

    www.eatcleandiet.com It is a good diet or should I say way of eating. I don't follow it 100%, but I do feel better when I get more of that type of food in. Friday night is still pizza night at our house though!

    You've got it right. "Clean eating" is, quite simply, a meaningless term,, because every definition of "clean food" is different. I avoid "diet labels" like the plague.

    You trying to say I'm washing my fruits and vegetables for NO reason? And that's not dirt on my potatoes?

    It means foods that don't have a lot or any additives to 'clutter' them up - hence, they are 'clean'. It's just a term that stuck for whatever reason.

    More natural foods, less processed, prepacked, ready to eat foods. But not so natural that you don't wash the dirt off. :tongue:

    From eHow:

    "Clean eating" is practiced by bodybuilders and health-conscious people alike. Clean foods are natural, free of added sugars, hydrogenated fats, trans-fats and anything else that is unnatural and unnecessary. Many people use this diet as a way to lose weight. Used as a way of life, clean eating can make you feel healthy and full of energy. Follow these simple steps to start eating clean.

    I took it as no processed food. Eat things in their natural form.
