What exactly is "eating clean"?

A poster suggested eating clean to lose weight...I have a general idea what that means but can someone explain it.

Re: What exactly is "eating clean"?

I think it means not eating "junk"-- processed foods or foods that are empty calories, stuff from a box, high sodium crap full of chemicals.

Instead eating natural foods without additives, lots of fruit & vegetables, stuff with a lot of vitamins & minerals & not just empty calories.

exactly what drpepper said.

I can never do this 100% because there are just some things I cannot and will not give up. (Like bagels/cream cheese, arizona green tea, and snickers bars)
But I am trying to eat more and more this way not to lose weight but to be healthier and try to prevent illness. I am a big believer in bad diet contributing to cancer rates.

Basically lean protein, complex carbs, veggies/fruit and healthy fats. Eating like how our ancestors did..

One of my favorite "diet" books is The Eat Clean Diet


Tosco Reno has a few great books, including cookbooks. I highly recommend anything she has written..
