Yesterday I discovered a new quarterly magazine called “Clean Eating.” (The first issue was apparently in Winter 2007; I just got the second issue, which is Spring 2008.) It has a lot of great recipes in it. (They promise 50 recipes in each issue.) Tonight I tried “Seasoned Edameme and Beans,” which was both filling and tasty. (I served it over a bed of baby spinach leaves, and added some green onions and sliced black olives.) Definitely worth checking out.
Similarly, I picked up a book called “UltraMetabolism,” which has recipes that also follow the clean eating concept. Supposedly there is a companion cookbook, but I haven’t checked that out yet.
I have the first issue of the magazine you’re talking about. It’s excellent and the meal planners are awesome!!!!
If you want the first issue, I think you can go to thier website and order it.

I have all of the Clean Eating issues and I totally love them!
I received a copy from my trainer and i love it. I have been overweight for too long and really am learning to love to eat clean along with my 3 girls and husband. My one severe weakness is coffee and the flavored creamer i drink… any suggestions on still enjoying my coffee and the creamer without the absolute guilt? I saw some Stevia that is flavored but i hate to spend 15 bucks on it and not be good?
I’m new to this idea of “clean eating”…can someone tell me a success story of weight loss and improved health? I have a lot of weight to lose and I want to do it with a lifestyle change, not a diet. What is the best way to get started?
Arica,
I know the most holistic nutritionalists are going to direct you to Stevia as the only acceptable sweetener. I myself don’t care for the taste of Stevia. I have tried it (liquid) a few times and cannot develop a taste for it – to me it has a very medicinal taste. I haven’t used refined sugar in years, but I do use Splenda sparingly. Splenda has its detractors, but it’s my compromise – I love it.
Jan,
My best suggestion is to make your transition to clean eating, and also incorporating exercise (exercise is a must)- is to do this all in baby steps. If you completely overall everything all at once – you more than likely will not stick to it for a lifestyle change. Make one or two small changes, i.e. eliminate sugar and eat smaller portions, and walk 20 or 30 minutes a day. After a couple of weeks, or longer, add another change and continue and before you know it, you will have changed your lifestyle. As you see even small results it will motivate you to continue your changes.
Also make small goals for your self…don’t say I need to lose X pounds, or lose X inches in my waist. Make a small attainable goals – I need to lose 5 pounds. Then when you reach that 5 pound loss, make it another 5 pounds. You will gain motivation when you begin to start having small successes. Also, start a log for measurements – whether you decide to use the tape measure or the scale, or a combination. Write the date and your results down, and make sure you give yourself at least a week, maybe two between measurements. This is a great tool and motivator to see how far you’ve come, and stay focused on how far you’ve come, not how long you have to go!
These are some of things I did six years ago and lost 70 pounds in the process.
I’ve just discovered a natural sweetener — agave nectar (or agave syrup) — which is a natural low-glycemic sweetener. While it isn’t lower in calories than sugar, because it doesn’t raise blood sugar, it is less fattening. A teaspoon of agave is the equivalent of 1 1/4 teaspoons of sugar, so you don’t need to use as much, and it doesn’t have any bitterness or aftertaste.
Agave can be found at health food stores or in the health food section of the grocery store. You can also order it off Amazon. I liked it so much that I just ordered a 6-pack through Amazon (cheaper than my local stores).
And Susan — congrats on losing 70 pounds! That’s really impressive! Great advice too.
You are all writing such helpful advice. It is obvious that ‘clean eating” promotes a positive attitude. I have come to love Agave Nectar and it is becoming very common to see it being used in recipes. It is very sweet and can be used sparingly. I have the Ultra Metabolism Cookbook (the book Karen mentioned above)and it is a very good cookbook. The book has many recipes and gives you a good base from which to start getting used to “clean cooking”. Also, I have gotten all of the Clean eating Magazines and they are filled with good advice, inspiration, and of course, recipes and menus. I like the way the magazine tells you to substitute whatever you like that is similar because if we don’t find our own personal way, then we won’t feel at home with clean eating and we will go back to our old ways. I find clean eating to be almost as easy as poor habits due to the fact that in many cases, all you have to do is substitute healthier options and it comes out clean and healthy. I have also cleaned up many of my stand by favorite recipes with a lot of ease and good results. All I do is use clean ingredients instead of unhealthy ones so don’t throw away all of your old cookbooks and recipes, just modify them. In many cases, your family won’t even notice the changes, but you will know they are eating healthier! Best of luck to all of us!
Eating clean is a new way of life that is not as hard as it may seem to someone who has not tried it. I used to think ” how could I eat that ” or really just thought it would get boring eating that way all the time. Now that I have been doing this for about 2 1/2 months, my taste buds just crave to eat clean and not wanting as much sugar. Eating 5-6 small meals is pretty simple which I have learned through Bill Phillips “Body For Life” recipe book. By the Way the Bayou Turkey Meatloaf is off the chain…way better than my mom’s old meatloaf she use to cook me (no offense). Bill Phillips has excellent recipes for clean eating. It will make you want to eat clean.:) Since I had started eating clean, I had lost 10 pounds and 11 % bodyfat…besides the fact of getting lean. It will increase your endurance level, energy, stamina, and even your sex drive:) As most of my adolescense and 20′s I had always had a hard time losing weight and eating way too much junk food and large portion sizes ( including having an Bulimic eating disorder). Since eating clean , I would never go back to the way I use to eat. Even if you think it is not possible to do it, give it a week and see if you can not stick to it.
I exercise like a feen. Ride my road bike 3-4 times a week a minimum of 20 miles a shot, plus sometimes another spin bike ride, off days i walk about 3 miles that includes some good hills. I do muscle work at least 5 days a week.And swim at least once aweek (used to do tri’s) I never seem to loose anything and trust me i have a tummy so I have decided that clean eating is something I need to try. The problem is that I have a pretty good diet with known silp ups here and there, I guess honestly my big mistakes are after dinner snacking,emotional eating at times, and a love of wine. wHAT A MESS AM i! Is there anyway to continue to enjoy some wine and still eat clean? Oh by the way did I menton I am kind of a junior wine maker and conisuer/
OK this is the day.. been hearing about this and encouraged by the gym to give it a try. My problem is that I’m a..picky.. eater.. could live on fruit, raw carrots, celery ect don’t eat broccoli cauli, spinach.. you get the idea right? No red meat.. chicken some tuna eggs I love now I hear the yolk is a no no.. my FAVORITE part.. lotz of water is already a part of my day as is no pop.. I do love ice tea though.. Bottom line.. how does a picky eater survive on this clean eating ?? Ideas? Kids are out of the house and husband is a junk food junkie and red meat and potatoes eat
I have been eating clean since January, of 2008. Prior to that I lost 35 pounds. To date, I have lost a total of 75 pounds. Clean eating is such a simple concept and although it can be expensive at times, you actually end up spending less because you’re not filling up on expensive junk foods that cause your body to go on a high and then crash, craving more and more. I read Tosca Reno’s book, The Eat Clean diet back in 2007 and was one of the first in line for the new magazine. Now, my whole family eats clean and my weight continues to come off with the help of dedicated exercise. People are amazed at the results they see right in front of their eyes.
I just started eating clean this week. I have been going to the gym for a while now but have not lost any weight because of my diet. When I was in the grocery store I saw the eating clean magazine and thought I would give it a try. I was so inspired that I bought Tosca’s book. I take a weight lifting class twice a week at the Y and a cycling class twice but I am scared that by following the plan I am taking in too much food for the amount of excercise. Any suggestions?
I purchased the Clean Eating magazine when in came out in January. Finally this summer, I decided to follow the menu planner. After 8 weeks I am down 18 pounds and my husband has lost over 20 pounds. We were both amazed that by eating 1500 – 1800 calories a day we were losing weight. My husband had been working out for the last couple of years 5 times a week with cardio and weight training and couldn’t lose a pound. Don’t worry about the amount of food. Eating five times a day with the right foods makes all the difference. There is a great article about how many calories are right to lose weight by, Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP . Read it to get a really good description of why you need to feed the furnace so it will burn the calories efficiently. http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Many-Calories-Can-I-Have-And-Still-Lose-Weight?&id=6723
I recently subscribed to Clean Eating Magazine and also purchased The Eat-Clean Diet book and cookbook. The recipes are extremely good and flavorful. I’ve been following a modified Prism Weight Loss Program diet which is very similar to Clean Eating. No refined sure, no white flour, counting calories, etc. I’ve been on this program for 8 weeks and I’ve lost 25 pounds. Starting weight was 292 pounds. I’ve also begun walking several times a week. It has been extremely easy for me and I think that two of the things that have helped me the most are eating every 2-3 hours and making sure I have enough protein. Another thing that has been extremely helpful is when I prepare my plate at dinner time, I also prepare my lunch for the next day and an additional plate that I freeze for the weekend. By the end of the week I have enough meals for the weekend that I don’t have to cook.
I have been following clean eating for a year now. It was difficult at first as I have two teenage sons and a husband who don’t like vegs, whole wheat, etc. Both my boys now won’t eat anything unless it is clean and my husband is now being converted. He eats salads, no dressing or very little, healthy snacks. It is a long process but the more you educate yourself and share that information over dinner the more interested they become. The Clean Eating Magazine is great and so is the book The Clean Eat Diet. Read all you can to help stay motivated.
I have been trying to eat clean since the beginning of the year. It is very hard to stick with because I am a junk food junky, but I am hanging in there. I am not doing it to lose weight but to become more lean as I workout. I have learned that this lifestyle is for everyone and I feel it is worth it. I am giving a speech in my Public Speaking class to persuade others to eat clean as well. I hope it is a good turn out.
Food, alcohol, and general eating issues have been problems for me all my life. I picked up ‘Clean Eating’ a couple of months ago and am in love with the changes that eating smaller amounts of quality food have brought. I have only lost a few pounds but I feel so much better. I just wanted to share that when I eat more mindfully, (small bites, lots of chewing of whole unprocessed foods), I am satisfied with less. I don’t feel at all deprived and am eating noticibly less. Adding more exercise time is my goal now, to really get the weight off once and for all! I’m grateful.
I keep hearing about clean eating and i am just having too many slip ups on my diet habits. do you think this is good for someone who is just going through a lot. i want to be healthier i just quit smoking about two months ago and stopped drinking so i want to change and be healthy should i buy the book?
I say go for it…buy the book. I have the book and have started and stopped eating clean a couple of time. My problem is my “all or nothing” thinking. I feel like I have to eat perfectly and if I slip up at one point I give up entirely. So, I am working on making small changes and gradually getting up to a “clean eating” life. You will lose pounds, you will feel lighter and clear headed and energetic. Those are the feelings of being healthy I’m sure. Good luck!
Jan,
I know this is a long time coming, but I’m a perfect example of a clean eating lifestyle change success story.
I started in July of this year on the Eat Clean lifestyle and I weighed in at 323lbs, since then I’ve managed to lose 50lbs. And I’m still going. I eat no less than 5 meals per day, I don’t count one calorie, and there have even been a few bad days in there, and I feel no guilt.
The food is great, there is plenty of it, so I didn’t feel like I was depriving myself of anything, and most of all the recipes are excellent. I have a cache that I use on the weekly basis and I just keep adding to them as I need.
I can fit back into my smaller clothing, I’ve had to buy smaller shirts and have almost sized myself out of Lane Bryant.
This is the lifestyle change you have been waiting for!
I’m surprised that no one has mentioned Oxygen magazine. While the focus is not just on clean eating, there are recipes in the magazine AND it comes out monthly so you don’t have to wait as long for new recipes (although I do believe Eating Clean is going to bi-monthly issues in 2009). Plus, Eating Clean is basically Oxygen’s sister magazine so you know the quality of the content is consistent…
I just had to post here too!
My husband and I have been clean eating (using the book by Tosca Reno) since Dec 07. He has gone from 260 pounds to 190, and I lost 25 pounds myself (I’m at about 140). You have to make sure it’s a lifestyle change, and not a “temporary” diet. We made lots of little changes we could live with, and now we wouldn’t want to eat any other way!
I have made small changes in my diet to transform myself into a Clean Eater. I’m so much better already! I’m trying to build some muscle and become stronger and I think that eating clean has really helped with this and given me more energy!
My husband got me a subscription to Oxygen 2 years ago and I have been clipping the recipes to make a binder of my favorite clean eating meals.
I have been altering my diet the past year to a healthier one, but still fall victim to temptations from fast food and holiday parties.
January 1st was my first day of full commitment to clean eating and I followed each and every tip mentioned on this site. I’m happy to say that after only 1 week, I have lost 5 lbs. and an inch off of my arms, thighs, and waist. Not only that, but I feel so much better from drinking the recomended amount of water each day. I’m excited to see myself change in the coming year!
I started eating clean about a month ago and have slowly been introducing the meals to my family. My 5 year old son does not like trying new foods, so I only make a few new dishes a week and encourage him to try them. Hopefully, with time he will come around. I have purchased a few of the Clean-Eat Diet cookbooks and love them. The magazine is also great. Since I have been eating clean, I no longer crave sugary snacks and soda. I feel much better eating every few hours and have an easier time concentrating!
Amanda- I too have a 5 year old son. Producing a clean eating child can be tricky. First, if he’s in school, pack his lunch. School lunches leave a lot to be desired. I pack lots of fresh fruits (he loves clemintines becasue he can peel them), nuts, edamame, ww tortilla’s with black beans and low fat cheese, pb&honey using ww bread and natural pb, fruit salads, yogurt with a side of dried fruit/raw nut mix for him to combine, I make granola, string cheese, etc.
I refuse to buy processed snacks/cereals. He eats oatmeal in the morning combined with applesauce…and I lay out 3 items (nuts, spices, fruits, etc) and allow him to pick what he mixes in.
I do, however, remember that he is a child. Once or twice a week he gets a treat…we like to go to Yogurtland. It’s great because he can top his yogurt with as many fruits or nuts as he wants…and he gets to pick 1 treat to add on (he usually picks sprinkles).
It’s give and take…and education. Explain to him that eating healthy will make him grow stronger! Print out a food pyrimaid! Good luck!
I live in the country where it is hard to find specialty items, one being coconut oil. I want to mae the chocolate cake in the latest issue. Is there something else I can use to substitute for the oil? I do have coconot extract and coconut milk.
HI:
I am looking for a clean homemade chocolate pudding recipe..perhaps with lo fat milk, unsweetened cocoa and honey or agave for sweetener. Can you help?
Thanks
Cindy
I’m wondering if anyone can tell me whether cooking with wine defeats the purpose of trying to prepare a clean meal?
Clean eating usually avoids all forms of alcohol. I don’t, however, believe that adding 1/2 a cup of wine to your clean eating stew makes too much of a difference. I think it’s unreasonable to expect 100% clean eating for the rest of your life. I try to aim for 85-95% and run and lift a lot. I usually have a glass once a week anyhow…just to celebrate life
Wow this Clean Eating thing is GREAT!! I was eating clean off and on and then a week ago I picked up Tosca Reno’s Clean Eating Diet two weeks ago at Vons and have been making changes gradually. Im am 290 pounds, type2 diabetic,high blood pressure.All the things they warn will happen to you if you gain weight. Today I will go to Borders to get her cookbook. Hubby and I have to shop separate and cook separate but it works for us. I do need a bigger fridge for all the fresh food to have on hand but wow the taste and feeling you get from eating clean is soo good. I cant wait to say “Yeah Ive been eating clean for a year now and…” Now if I can just consistantly use my BoFlex Treadclimber..or take walks or something. But go get this book if you havent already. I cant put it down! Lots of preparation in the kitchen but SOOO worth it! Ohhh Trader Joes store is a God Send, healthier food for less money. Keep On Keepn On and good health to all!
I recently read about eating clean in an issue of Oxygen magazine I picked up on a whim. I immediately went out and bought The Eat Clean Diet by Toscan Reno and the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook as well, and subscribed to the magazine. I read the book cover to cover in no time (I couldn’t put it down!) and have started eating clean. I feel great and lost 2 pounds my first week! (I was only eating about 60% clean my first week!) I joined LA weight Loss in August of 2008 and that helped me lose 30 pounds, but then I stopped losing- I actually started gaining again. That’s when I decided it was time for something different. The LA program wasn’t something that I could live with, but I can see myself eating clean for the rest of my life. The recipies in Tosca’s book are amazing and surprisingly easy to make. I did have to go out and spend a lot of money on ingredients that I didn’t have, but now that they are in my pantry they will last a long time. I get so excited to go out and pick out my fresh fruits and veggies now- and I’m even trying things I would have never thought to eat before! I love this lifestyle and think everyone should try it. I feel amazing and am really looking forward to dropping the last 20 pounds! I suggest you pick up a copy of Oxygen magazine too, lots of great recipes and workout suggestions. The only thing I don’t like about the mag is all of the adds for weight loss supplements. In my opinion they are garbage, and if you are eating clean, you will reach your goals in no time and feel great doing it!
Hi everyone! I ordered all the Clean Eating Magazine back issues, but they are out of Volume 1 Issue 1. Does anyone know where I can get this copy or does anyone have an extra copy they would be willing to part with for compensation?
I used agave nectar in a baked apple recipe and some homemade granola bars and it worked great! I love Clean Eating magazine
Arica,
You may have already made you decision on the matter by now, but I thought I’d put in my 2 cents worth.
My husband and I use the flavored liquid stevia all the time. We like it so much that we have 5 different flavors of it. My husband especially enjoys the peppermint flavor in his coffee. I am more of tea drinker and I like to use the peppermint and cinnamon flavors. I do have a word of caution, use sparingly. If you use too much, it has a very bitter taste. Hope this helps!
Here’s my story…I have been very faithful to the gym for over ten years, running, swimming, biking, lifting weights. I actually compete in triathlons and have done one marathon–thinking the weight will just melt off. Well, the problem is I lose about 10-15 pounds in the summer and immediately pack it on again in the winter. I constantly fluctuate between 140-155, 160. While to some who have lots to lose, this may not seem like a big thing, I am only 5’3 and really tend to be fleshy. When I tell people that I compete at the level I do, they just kind of give me a look. The major problem with me is that I always just went about my life not really being disciplined about the eating. I really want to look as good as all the work I am putting in and I finally decided that I owe it to myself to put as much into the diet as I do with the exercise. On a whim, I grabbed an issue of Oxygen and Clean Eating and just started making the recipes. I have been doing it for about two weeks–not perfectly, but pretty good, and I feel terrific. Less bloated and happy. I hope I can keep this up and finally get to that place where I really look like all the hard work I put in. I recently read that it is 80 % diet, 10% work-out, 10% genetics. I think I can do this–after all the years of just relying on the exercise and blaming my fleshy genes. Now, I’m just on the lookout for more recipes.
Interesting blog post. What would you say was the most important factor in using NLP?
Hi all!! I have also just been introduced to Clean Eating and noticed that the Volume 1 Issue 1 is sold out. Does anyone know where I can get a copy?
Good luck! I have been searching for the fist issue for some time and no luck so far.
I have always been a foodie. I love to cook. Just discovered clean eating mag. I started working out a month ago. Diabetes runs in my family badly on both sides. I’ll be 32 in a week and decided enough is enough. I’m 5’3 and when I started out a month ago I weighed 168. I’m down to 163.2 and that is with excersie mostly as I just really got a hold of the clean eating concept. I’ve made 2 recipes and they were wonderful. I’m blessed that my daughter is not picky at all. Since I’ve always loved to cook, the rule has always been you must taste it (unless it was too spicy) if you don’t like it don’t eat it. She ate salmon and the cucumber salad I made for dinner last night. My hubby is along for the adventure and we are trying to achieve a lifestyle change. I’m excited.
I have a question. I want to try and follow the clean eating diet but I detest seafood of any kind, and I’m not so fond of tofu either. Can anyone suggest ways to follow the diet and still not have to eat food I hate? I am a super picky eater, and love veggies, but seem to have a lack of options for protein and variety. Help please!!!
Yes, there are plenty of ways for you to follow a clean diet and not eat seafood. I do not recommend seafood to my clients as this food is high in mercury. Today our oceans are so heavily polluted that I recommend eating fish minimally and to only eat small fish such as sardines and salmon occasionally, maybe a few times a month.You can also eat grass fed beef, free range poultry and eggs for your protein. Make sure you load up your plate with lots of steamed/roasted/grilled veggies twice a day. You might even want to dip your veggies in some delicious almond or cashew butter. It might take some time to transition to this way of life, but your health will thank you. I have just published a cookbook, called Joyful Cooking in the Pursuit of Good Health. It has lots of wonderful recipes that are simple and easy to follow. You might enjoy it as a guide to help you transition to this wonderful healthy way of living.
The weight is falling off. I have always been an avid exerciser…..cardio everyday, weight training at least 3 times a week and I never sit around. I was so confused about why I wasn’t losing……by diet wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t the best either. Eating clean and eating small meals 5-6 times a day is the way to go……it’s true that your body is 80% what you eat, 10% exercise and 10% genetic. I would never, ever stop exercising though……it’s so good for the mental health! I am also determined to have the body of Tosca Reno……she is a huge inspiration for me.
Hi, I had a few questions, I am trying to eat clean but I LOVE cheese. Is this an okay food or one that I need to very slowly transition away from? Also chocolate milk, it has sugar in it but is a good combination of protien and carbs for after a work out, any ideas on this? Finally, dried fruit, obviously fresh is better but for making handy snacks with nuts is dreid fruit okay? thanks so much. your stories and insight are very helpful

I am looking for the second issue of Clean Eating. Can anyone help me out? I love Clean Eating and I am making the switch to a clean eating life style.
I have just started with eating clean as recommended by my personal trainer. Picked up the book and read it cover to cover and now have the cookbook. My trainer has given me guideline to follow as to quantities however I am at a loss as to what my husband should have. He is also recovering from hip surgery and is unable to go to the gym as yet. My goal is 15 lbs but his is 25 – 30. He is 6’2 and probably weighs in at approx 235. Any thoughts or suggestions?
My mother-in-law, who loves to buy diet books and never follow though, had an issue of Clean Eating that I flipped through back in March of this year. I liked the ideas behind it, but convinced myself it wasn’t for me. Little did I know that a few months later, I’d be implementing Clean Eating principles wholeheartedly.
My husband and I had slowly been changing our diet to include more organic produce and fewer processed food but then the real wakeup call came in July of this year; my 54 year old father suffered a heart attack and was diagnosed with heart disease. After his triple by-pass operation I knew that I needed to educate myself (as well as my parents, husband and brother) about healthy eating and the pitfalls of the western diet. I turned back to my mother-in-law’s Clean Eating magazine and literally jumped in head first, following the principles and guidelines laid out and doing a significant amount of research on heart healthly diets, finding remarkable similarity between the two.
After making over my diet and beginning an outdoor running program (2.5km x Mondays and Wednesdays, 4km Saturdays) I’ve lost 31 pounds, 4.5 inches off my waist and feel the best I ever have. As a cronically overweight child and teenager, I’ve crash dieted at least 5 times, having success and regaining the weight within months. I’ve never been athletic, and the fact that I’m running 4km without stopping is incredible and I’m now planning on doing a 5km once the weather warms up. I also plan on adding free weights to get a little toning added into the mix.
Though my parents haven’t embraced clean eating principles as intensely as I have, I’m happy to report that my dad has fully recovered, returned to work, lost 25 pounds and regularily exercises 3 times a week. He’s now the weight he was when my parents were married 25 years ago. My mom has lost 15 pounds after years of struggling with crash dieting and now rejoices over the success she’s having eating “real” food and eating on a more regular basis. She’s also noticed a marked improvement in her fibromyalsia and has more energy. Clean eating has literally saved the lives of my entire family.
For the first time in my life, I feel like I control my food, rather than it controlling me. I can’t recommend Clean Eating highly enough.
I’ve been eating clean for a long time. But never with any real dedication. All the recipes I post on my blog are clean, but it’s all the little stuff in between those meals that gets me. Especially this time of year. I have to bake more and I find myself tasting everything. It really tends to pack on the pounds. I have to be so strict with clean eating in order for it to work. It’s really hard sometimes. My husbands likes to think he’s supportive, but he’s really not.
Thankfully, I’ve had my son eating clean from the day he was born. His first meal was spinach I put through the blender. Now, he loves his veggies. I never have to wonder if he’ll eat them or spit them out. He would just as soon eat a head of broccoli as a cookie. I’m blessed.
I imagine, like millions of others, I’ll probably get on the strict bandwagon with the new year. Only this time, I’ll be sticking with it. My health can’t take another year of not so great eating. It’s time to get real and get healthy once and for all.
I need serious help! I am addicted to sugar and I am worried about passing this awful habit on to my children ages 4 and 1. Also as any busy mom I crave convience. I picked up a clean eating mag just recently and made a couple of receipes that went over great but I added extra cheese of course:) I know how I am suppose to eat but I just need some motivational tips to get me started. I guess I am looking for a starting point. I don’t want “wired, fast food” children. I also need to lose about 60lbs and I’m only 30. Someone please help me…..
