Unableached Wheat Flower
I found some pasta that only has three ingredients-- the first of which is unbleached wheat flour. I was under the impression that unless it says "whole wheat" specifically, it is not clean. Thoughts?

Just started eating clean, feeling sick
For a summarized version, read the bolded stuff. I'm 20, female, 155 lbs/69ish kg (after a 15 pound gain while studying abroad). Vegetarian. No health problems. Really active (run 5 days a week, try to lift 3). I've always said that I've eaten really really well, and then I've eaten dessert. During Lent this year I decided…

Good cookbook
I had a bittersweet experience at Costco today: I really wanted to buy the premade seaweed salad, because I am really busy and would love the rare break in cooking, but the ingredients included a trio of different food dyes and a few other ingredients I didn't understand, thus I won't buy. Right after this disappointment I…

Eating guidelines
I'm new here, and am throwing in the towel on a pre-packaged food plan (which will remain nameless). I can stay on it for 3-4 weeks, then go off and binge. Majorly self-destructive behavior. I've been gaining and losing the same 15 pounds for a year! It's time to simply eat right and the weight will come off over time. I…

FRIENDLY--What is clean eating for you?
Back in the 1970's this food movement was derisively referred to as granola, as many of us shopped in bulk at Food Co-operatives and made our own granola and yogurt. Getting yogurt culture was akin to sharing bread starter in our Great-Grandmother's days. Too soon this cozy feel good thing became a movement and by the…

Out of the frying pan....
FMGWACS (Heather's fans will get it, for the rest of you, it is an acronym for something VERY rude). Just when I get myself disentangled from the clean eating trolls, I find myself in the middle of a low carb battle. I love you guys, because no one preaches. I don't care if you are vegan, Whole 90, Paleo, IIFYM, whatever.…

Completely New - What Is Considered Clean Eating?
Hi there, Basically I started intermittent fasting a month back and enjoyed it, I've started New Rules of Lifting for Women and I'm enjoying that, but I keep hearing about eating clean to help build muscle - and I'll be honest I haven't a clue what it is.

Fasting
Hello all, I started to fast on 7/15 to regain control over my eating habits. It has been time consuming because of the amount juicing that is involved but I feel that it’s worth the effort. I haven’t been craving much of anything and today is the first time that I’ve had true hunger pangs. Once the pangs leave it is a…

The Heat Must Be Getting to Me
I swear almost every post I've read on the regular boards today had someone being rude or telling people that clean eating is a myth and it's ok to go ahead and have that candy bar or to eat at McDonald's. I know there are different ways to lose weight and everyone has to do what works for them but to say clean eating is a…

I am challenging myself to go 8 weeks on a vegetarian diet and I am at the end of week one and not sure what I can make besides veggie burgers (homemade), salad, bean burritos and steamed veggies. I don't…

Fortified Cereals
Does your body really absorb the minerals, specifically iron, from fortified cereals? I'm anemic and chowed down on some Cheerios this morning in an effort to boost my iron. I usually eat oatmeal or something less processed, but I'm fine with eating more Cheerios if they really provide the iron content that they say they…

You ate what???
I have decided that I need to really start eating things I would not normally eat. It kind of all started when we were binge watching Bizarre Foods, but I still think that there are things out there that are healthy and clean that I could be adding to my diet for nutritional value and to break up the perceived monotony we…

Hi! New~
Hi everyone... I have been reading a lot of information about eating clean for about a week. I would love to transform myself from processed foods to more Godly foods. I am tired of being tired and fat. Counting calories works, but not if I overeat all the time because all I can think about is my next snack and I am sure…
