shouldnt “eating clean” also include proper food combining?

“simple whole foods combined with each other properly” is a more accurite statement of “eating clean”….yes?

I have to agree with Megan. If this “way of life” means eating only foods in their natural state than things like Splenda and Protein powder should not be on the list. I don’t know of Tosca would agree but that is my opinion. I like the rule that you only eat things your great grandmother would recognize as food. A simple but effective way of deciding what is likely nutritional and what is likely a man made attempt at something edible.

I just want to know, does this lifestyle change (eating clean) really work for weight loss? I have bought the book, and am trying to incorporate as much of this way of eating into my life as I can at this time (I am a bit financially strapped right now). Next week, I will get my pay and be able to pick up the “right foods”. I know alot of people on here have said that’s its very healthy, and you have lots of energy, all things I want as well, but have you lost weight? Please tell me how much and how much time it took?

I am reading these blogs and see where some people mention protein powders and splenda. I thought that if “man” made it then it shouldn’t be part of the plan. Also, what about wine? I know that man made it, but it’s also natural product. Please fill me in. I just started my diet today!

[...] It is eating food in it’s most natural state, or as close to it as possible. More specifically, Eating clean is the practice of eating whole, natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates. It also means staying away from the junk that typically makes up the Standard American Diet (S.A.D) These types of food include man-made sugar, bad fats (hydrogenated, trans-fat), preservatives, white bread, and any other ingredients that are unnecessary. An easy way to remember if a food is clean is: “if man made it, don’t eat it.” (source) [...]

In 1991, the National Institutes of Health.[17] listed 167 symptoms and reasons to avoid the use of aspartame. It has also been indicated that women with an intolerance for phenylalinine, one of the compoents of aspartame, may give birth to infants with as much as a 15% drop in intelligence level if they habitually consume products containing this dangerous substance.

i have recently taken a nutrition class with my personal training certification and let me tell you that this class has rocked the very foundations of what i thought for nutrition and health in general. All the things i thought to be truths have now been brought to me to question and truly look at. Take the time to research things…. The FDA has required food manufacturers to label their products and identify if they are using trans fats. However under FDA regulations “if the serving contains less then 0.5 gram [of trans fat], the content, when declared, shall be expressed as zero.” for more on the article on Aspartame please visit http://www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/government_cover_up.htm

Is it ok to drink home brewed de-caf tea instead of just plain water? I have a hard time drinking just water and I know I don’t drink enough during the day…
