thegraciouspantry.com is a great website. Has advice about starting out, shopping for basics as well as recipes. I have found it to be very helpful. Good Luck

Google Tosca Reno clean eating. She has a website and numerous books about clean eating. There are a number of pages on facebook about it if you search.

This. Have just about all of her books and have done very well with her principles.

There is actually a magazine and a website "clean eating dot com" - both are fantastic. Great recipes!

www.perrysplate.com has some nice recipes. Not all are "clean" but many are and so far everything I've made from that site has been delicious!

You could do what i do and make a rule that you'll only eat bread or cake, pasta etc if you have made it yourself FROM SCRATCH.
That keeps me eating less of the stuff and it is a bit of time and effort to make. Homemade tastes so much better too and obviously no chemical preservatives etc.
Carrot cake isn't necessarily bad, if you can find recipes that replace or lessen some of the ingredients. Such as use agave or honey instead of so much sugar (and less of it too), and perhaps apple sauce (made from apples not from a bottle) instead of oil. And of course portion size. I bought some tiny little cake tins and make things in those. If more servings don't exist then i can't eat them!

I think perhaps if you decide one day you want to eat carrot cake or pasta or whatever search 'heathy -- recipe' and scan through the ingredients so you can see if it really clean or not. That way you aren't limited to what is on one particular site.

definitely recommend Tocsa Reno's: the eat clean diet book

it will help alot

Jamie Eason talks about it on bodybuilding.com That's where I first learned about it. She also has recipes on it. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/get-lean-eat-clean-with-jamie-eason-main-page.htm

Kind of a silly question, but just in case you haven't, have you googled it and checked out different websites? Good Luck!

Jillian Michaels Master Your Metabolism is a great read for someone entertaining the transition to clean eating. Initially I got it from the public library then decided it was worth buying to add to my collection of healthy living books.

This book changed my life and how I look at food. I now read ingredients before I even read anything else on labels. In fact, I hardly look at cals, fat, sugar, carbs, etc. anymore. Highly recommend.

I know what you are talking about. I stumbled on to Dr. Joey Shuman and her books and I have used others, but always go back to her. She makes everything seem simple. Her books are The Natural Makeover Diet, The Last 15 and her newest book is The Metabolism Boosting Diet.
