Hello everyone! I've been eating clean for 3 months (on the Jamie Eason program) and am excited that it changed my life. I finished the program yesterday and went and ate Thai food and ice cream for the first time. And I realized I want to keep going. None of my current MFP friends eat clean and I was hoping to add some friends to get ideas from on eating clean. Starting next week I will be doing James Wilson's program which also involves alot of clean eating.

Thank you so much :)

    Congratulations on your weight loss! That is amazing! I try my best to eat clean. I never eat junk food and stay away from white flour, refined sugar, etc. I follow Tosca Reno's Eating CLean guide. I'd like to be your friend!

    I'm a clean eater as well. Haven't heard of this program that you're doing but it sounds great. My philosophy is "if your Grandma wouldn't recognize it as food, don't eat it." I try and eat organic as much as possible and cook everything from scratch. Add me as friend if you like!

    I am a clean eather (thank you Tosca Reno!) and it's changed my life! But also, it's so hard that my friends or husband don't. They are like, 'Are you still on that diet?' and I'm like.... ummm no this is just how I eat...

    i'm waiting for my tosca reno book to arrive from Amazon :) really excited to start it, i've lost 45lbs, alot of it before MFP and i feel very stuck shifting that stubborn last 1olbs! i think my exercise routine is great and i'm really motivated but my eating lets me down and i drift in and out of eating well, so fingers crossed eating clean will help me achieve my goals! i would love clean eating friends for advice, support and recipe sharing (when i have some lol) <3

    Good For You! I bought all of Tosca's books and it literally took me 3 years to finally make the commit to "Eat Clean" and with that came all the health benefits. Not only did I loose 20+ lbs, my stomach issues have disappeared and my energy levels are awesome. I find when I do consume processed foods, I pay for it dearly. It's become a way of life for me and I no longer have any symptoms of food anxiety and I don't feel like I'm on a "diet". I'll be 40 in a few months and I'm constantly told I don't look any older then 33. I attribute it to my healthy lifestyle! Congrads to you for sticking to your guns on this!

    Hey All!

    I am a clean eater too!!! I love clean eating. I have all of Tosca Reno's cookbooks as well as the Best of Clean Eating cookbooks. I do a lot of cooking with super foods to (hemp, chia, goji, acai, maca, etc).

    I always preached clean eating but never truly practiced what i preached. Now i am. I have already lost 35 lbs and notice an amazing difference in my skin, hair, nails, energy levels, digestion, etc. Granted, i workout hard as well, but i attribute most of my success to clean eating. I have now found when i eat anything processed or not clean, i actually get physically sick! It's amazing how our bodies adapt.

    I love the saying, "if your food can go bad, it's good for you; if it can't go bad,it's bad for you."

    Anyone can add me. I would love to have clean eating friends!!!

    I'm trying to eat clean and I've also started Jamie Eason's Live Fit 12 week program which is clean eating along with heavy weight lifting. This is day 3 for me. I have 50 pounds to lose and I'm hoping that this is going to be my answer. I'm supposed to up my calories, but I'm having a hard time eating them all (never thought I'd say that)! I would love to have more clean eating friends. I need as much support I can get. Hard to eat clean when your husband and daughter don't want to eat the same way.

    Hey everyone! I am just getting started with this 'clean eating' thing. I am on a weight-loss mission, but I don't want to be on a diet, I want to make a lifestyle change that I can maintain forever! I have a few good friends who preach clean eating, and I am really trying my best to make this a part of my life. Please feel free to add me - I might have lots of questions until I get the hang of this, but I would appreciate to give and receive some support, encouragement, recipes, ideas, etc...

    I will have to check out the books that were mentioned in previous posts!

    Hi! Im a mother of 3 and Ive been doing my best to eat clean since February. Although I do struggle from time to time I still try my best and its not easy when Im the only one that eats clean in my family. So, having friends on MFP to motivate you and give you new food ideas is always helpful! I could use many more clean eating friends. Feel free to add me:)

    Hi,

    I recently decided to start making the change to eating clean and definitely need some friends and support to keep me going.
    I decided to start when a friend of mine began to eat clean, and as I suffer from IBS, I thought it would be a great way to help minimise my reactions.

    I started with great intentions, slowly easing myself into it as I hate to waste food and money by just throwing out all my unclean food. I manage to get through most days with only one or two unclean foods in my diet but am starting to slip as I don't have a lot of ideas for clean and easy snacks. Plus I'm finding it so hard to find clean foods in my supermarket.

    I love to cook and and happy to make main meals from scratch with clean ingredients, but snacks are where I'm falling down. At the moment I'm eating a lot of fruit and yogurt but the fruit is skyrocketing my sugar intake.

    I would love to have some clean eating friends on here to help give me ideas of what to eat. So please feel free to add me.

    :p

    Clean eater here as well! I've been doing it for awhile now, mostly since having lived overseas for a bit of time and that was our only option.

    I'd say I'm an 80/20er... 80% of what I eat is good.

    I really need encouragement, especially since so much stuff out there about losing weight is about eating faux food (read: crap), I'm happy to have found you all. :)

    Omg! I'm home! After some news about cholesterol and blood pressure levels today, I pulled up the mental bootstraps, and dusted off my ECD books. I'm so glad to talk to people about this as no one close to me is remotely interested. I need to lose at least 40 pounds for health, 60 is my aesthetic ideal. I've read almost all the ECD books, I subscribe to Oxygen magazine, but never committed. Today was my wake-up call and my line. Please add me in this too. I would love to share clean eating ideas for snacks, meals and meal plans! Thanks everyone!

    I'm eating cleaner, but I'm not there 100%, and still have my "cheats." But overall I have switched to much more organic and less processed foods, and am always interested in advice, new recipes, etc.
  • Hi! I am new to clean eating and I am very curious to know how you all feel about it, especially those who have been doing it a while. Where do you find the answers to most of your questions about clean eating? Like what you can and cannot have? Please add me!
  • I am starting to focus more on eating clean this summer and looking for more friends on MFP.

    Those of you who are doing the Jamie Eason Program. How do you like it? I printed out the Week 1 workouts but am nervous to start because I start training for my second marathon on Monday.
