It sure is! Debate - day 5. Someone mentioned I should bring up Dr. Oz next time. :) Also, I may make a thread about sugar consumption when all the dies down. LOL

Rhode Island. And no, thats NOT in New York. (We get that a lot!) :)

I'm still here! I've been reading all of the posts and I have come to one conclusion... You all are passionate, and that's never a bad thing! I will say that today I woke up feeling less icky. Hopefully that has to do with the way I have been eating the past couple days. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe its mind over…

You will notice in a previous post that I gave my father the unopened packaged food, and threw away the half used opened items that I presumed he would not touch because it probably been there for a while.

Thank you so much! It has been quite entertaining, and I am learning from the varied opinions. I am not discouraged at all. I do hope that people will stop being offended by the term "clean eating". The intent is not to make people feel that if they arent eating this way that it is in anyway "dirty". Its just what its…

I do understand that you of course can eat everything in moderation and count calories and lose weight. I personally decided that my willpower is overruled when I come face to face with delicious cake topped with frosting. If I dont change my lifestyle, my *kitten* will just grow and grow. So I have decided to do a total…

I didnt all of a sudden just decide yesterday I was just going to throw out all my food just for fun. I gave my unopened packaged food tp my father, but I was fairly certain he did not want my husbands used bacon ketchup thats been sitting in the fridge for months. Apparently your words are more critiqued here then I would…

Thank you! I will not use the term "clean eating" here again. Lesson learned :)

Don't you dare send me a friend request! I won't accept it! LOL

Wait. How is this NOT negative?

My understanding of the term clean eating is based on a diet of lean meats. Fish. Whole grains. Fruits. Veggies. Sticking mainly to the perimeter of the grocery store. Foods as close to their natural state as they can be. Staying away from foods that are man made and packaged. And so on.

Sorry if there are members here who are offended by the term "clean eating". I obviously did not coin this term. Nor do I think anyone eats "dirty".

Lol! Perhaps I should have searched for "clean eating" threads before I started one. I was just excited after my app download!

Maybe negative wasn't the right word, but I guess I was anticipating posts from other members who believed in this type of diet. Essentially I am just trying to get healthy like everyone here is trying to do. Thank you all for your opinions. I know changing your diet is hard, and also that lots of people fail, but life is…

I started this thread because I heard that this was a supportive place. I guess when you are about to embark on a new journey you hope there is a place to go to make it a little easier and a little better.

I am actually quite surprised by the negative in this post. I heard great things about this forum, and was anticipating supportive comments from people trying for essentially the same thing. C'mon everyone, I was all hyped up!

I guess I prefer to think of it as a change in lifestyle. I am listening to what my body has been trying to tell me, and that is that I need a total overhaul. I am ready for it. I know I will crave certain foods, but im sick of feeling like garbage all the time.

This will be my first step in starting my weight loss (HOPEFULLY!) I am hoping that starting to eat healthier will give me more energy, and will give me the boost to start working out. I know that most food in moderation is ok, but I also know that if there is a package of cupcakes here I will eat them.... all.
