clean eating?

Question

What exactly is clean eating? Is it just eating vegetables and fruits and lean meats?  Or is there more to it? Like cutting out all sugar? Carbs? Etc.. just curious what everyone's idea is of it.

Answer

I think it is partly that, fruits, veggies, lean proteins, etc. but I think it also means nothing artificial like colors additives hormones, etc. at least that's what I gather from the Panera commercials haha!

Answer

My interpretation of it is eating the fruit, veggies, and lean meats plus no processed foods (which forces you to cut out a lot of sugar). So all whole grains and making everything from scratch.

Answer

My version of clean eating is making stuff from scratch instead of buying processed products. So I stopped making boxed Mac & cheese. I quit buying snack cakes, oatmeal bars and a slew of other snacks/cereals. I quit buying frozen French fries and other stuff like that. I buy the ingredients and make most things myself, then freeze it. I buy as much (in season) fresh fruit, for my kids, as I can afford. I also cut excess carbs out of our daily meals, so I serve a few meals a week with less starches/carbs (no garlic toast with spaghetti or stew with beans, but no potatoes). I think you just have to make your own version up, because it's difficult to change all your (and your kid's) habits overnight. So you just do the best you can and try to slowly eliminate pre-made, processed foods and instead use whole foods.

Answer

We practice clean eating and for us it's eating non GMO foods. We eat pretty much everything organic and have cut out almost all red meat. All the meat we eat is all natural or organic also. They don't have the GMOs or antibiotics in them like some other meats can.
