Clean Eating

FetchingClever · 06-23-2010, 09:56 AM

Hello! This is my very first thread!

I have been reading here and there about 'clean eating' and would love to hear from any planeteers who are interested in it, or are doing it. Any tips, recipes, or experiences you'd like to share are welcome in this thread!

From what I understand at this point, clean eating focuses on a diet made up of whole, natural foods. For most people this means fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, whole grains and lean meats. It means cutting out processed food and ingredients we can't pronounce.

I'm slowly adding clean eating into my routine. What are you all doing with your food?

I do this as much as I can. I've also heard this called "God's food."

On a little tangent, I grew up in Cincinnati with lots of not so clean eating of Larosa's pizza and Graeters icecream

Great thread, FC! - I have also seen this referred to as "raw food diet" or maybe I have this confused?

I will say that I feel significantly better when I cut out processed foods

Sounds like the raw food diet I tried. Only one type of raw food at a meal(meat,fruit,milk). You are able to eat raw veg. with any other category. Nothing in the way of starches, rice, potatoes, squash, beans, soy, barley. It had some good qualities, but if you're vegetarian, it isn't enough protein. The raw sprouted crackers and bread type foods available are horrendously priced.

Due to health issues, I've had to cut out anything processed in any way. Clean eating makes your body feel better. Here is a great introduction/resource: http://cleaneatingonline.com/

The site offers menu planning, recipes and an online newsletter. I think they are on facebook too.

The difference between clean and raw is you can cook clean food by conventual methods..

Raw foods should never be cooked.. althought they can be *cooked* by dehydration...

I love.. love.. love..

Slow foods,
clean foods
raw foods...

I am so very attracted to eating food the way they were meant to be ate..

For me.. eatting processed foods is a slow death of the soul..

But the problem is.. they taste so damn good...

Lolololol...

My son is hooked on plain fresca.. He did a lil snoopy dance when I would bring it home... Lol.. I alway thought of fresca as a diet drink, but he thought it was just goodness in a can..

This thread inspired me to go check and see if we have a local Farmer's market in our area without having to dive all the way to Little Rock.
I found one that is open Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday.

Guess where I'll be on my lunchbreak tomorrow
