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…

I started eating clean about a week ago. I love it. I am not trying to lose weight, I just want to live a healthy life. What should or shouldn’t I do?????

For the eating clean lifestyle – should you be drinking any particular water? It sounds silly, but I’ve read for some health diets, that you should drink “pure water”, whatever that means? Generally I drink boiled water and its not filtered or anything.

This is an idea for Jackie..

Whenever I’m craving chocolate I grab myself a LARAbar – Jocalat flavour. It’s all natural, delicious & totally clean. Give that a go and see if you like it!

Hope that helps.

I have been trying to follow Tosca’s Clean Eating, I have the book and love it, but with giving up alcohol I am finding I have cravings now for chocolate and sweets. i am trying to hang tough but now and again I have to have some chocolate! Definitely improved physique with Clean Eating and hopefully will keep improving over time!

I have totally given up on ALL bottled beverages and drink nothing but my one cup of black coffee in the morning and water, water and MORE water the rest of the time.

It boggles my brain anymore when I look up and down the beverage aisle of the supermarket and see all of this STUFF being marketed NONE of which ANYONE needs or benefits from!!

Love the idea of clean eating and am always trying to move closer and closer to this.
