Processed food vs real food:

Do any of you subscribe to Summer Tomato? This is a good article. http://summertomato.com/processed-food-vs-real-food/#more-15331 I think she's right that…

Surprising locations of sugar
Hi all, I'm somewhat new to the group. Hubby and I are starting again to eat clean but more with the intention of watching our sugars ingested.

What happens when you eat junk
This might be a touchy subject, but here goes. I tend to eat clean 5-6 days a week which is great, but if I don't eat 'clean', I almost immediately feel sick. And then I suffer all the next day. Sparing the details, it's no fun. Any suggestions on how to keep eating 'clean' while maintaining a social life? Wing night isn't…
