Is Clean Eating the Key to a Healthier Lifestyle?

In summary, following Clean Eating principles is easy if you are buying fresh and making everything from scratch, but there are some tricky areas. Tosca Reno's books are a good resource.

No, not a joke. :)

I am looking for help in following the eating clean principles.

I have just started and have some weird questions and was wondering if anyone here follows Clean Eating! (Little or no processed food.)

Thanks!
 
Check out The Gracious Pantry. She also has a cookbook out

Love Eating Clean! Have fallen off plan, but really enjoyed it while following it and felt much better without all of the processed foods and preservatives!
 
I thought you meant the bald headed guy with the earring.

I have been using her site a lot. I just realized today that she was the same person who wrote the cookbook. I saw it "coming up" on QVC and thought it would probably be "clean" but I missed the presentation so I did not get any details on the book.



It is easy if I am buying fresh and making everything from scratch...but there are some tricky areas for me.

I am getting recipes/meal plans from various sites...Clean Eating Magazine and a few others. But, my issue is when a meal plan calls for items that are not something I can make.

For example, cottage cheese. I know all foods are not "equal" and you have to read labels, but I am not sure when I am making the "right" choice. I found a Cottage Cheese with "Cultured Skim milk, cream and salt". I think that is pretty clean, but I am not sure.

Also, tortillas. I am on the verge of making my own from scratch but don't really want to do that. I have a Clean Eating cookbook that calls for 100% whole wheat tortillas. I have only been able to find 1 brand that says "100%" and it has a pretty long list of ingredients that I can't pronounce. Is this still acceptable? I can find Corn tortillas woth only about 7 ingredients but not sure if it is better tham the 100% whole wheat ones.

These are the kinds of things I am struggling with and was looking for advice from anyone who has eaten clean.
 
I am also trying to follow it. Have you checked out the Eat Clean books by Tosca Reno? Or her website?
 
I think CK Hall does this...you may want to message her as well.
 
Also, Becky D. might be a good person to ask.

I had borrowed the original book and figured out the general principles (the original one is not available anymore). I will have to make my way into a bookstore to look at her "Just the Rules" book to see if it is what I need. I had picked up some Clean Eating cookbooks hoping that was all I needed, but this is where I am having trouble with some of the ingredients. I have already ordered "The Science of Skinny", "Eat Fat, Lose Fat" and "This is Why You're Fat" hoping that those will help explain some basic nutrition principles. Hope to get them tomorrow!
