Unexpected N-S-V
 

I dont know how many of you out there are eatting "clean" - minimal to no processed foods, but I have been for like a month to two months, and I noticed today that may skin is SOO radiant. My legs are shiny, arms, shoulders, face.. ect. Not like greasy, lotion shiny, but just radiant! I love it :carrot:

Eating Clean
 

I've never heard of "eating clean" but I am very interested in it! I think that's probably the best way to go, ultimately. Can you tell more about it, either in here or PM me?

Shiny, healthy skin sounds excellent!

That is definitely a victory!

eatting clean is eatting as little processed foods as possible. Here is a sample menu of mine.. (Disclaimer: I do not claim to eat 100% clean but about 80%.)

B:1c of cooked old fashioned oats with organic raisins and honey ( sometimes I add apple or banana)

L: Brown Rice ( not quick cooking or instant) and vegetable stir fry with olive oil

S: Organic Cottage Cheese and whole grain cracker ( similar to Triscuits)

posted too soon.. sorry

D: Green Peppers stuffed with Lean Turkey, brown rice, garlic, sometimes organic cheese, onions and all natural chicken stock.

Basically I just try to eat stuff that is as "clean" as possible, minimially processed, no preservatives, no additives ect. I try to eat stuff that is as close to nature as possible. Its really really hard and boring to eat 100% clean, but I have seen a difference in just eatting about 80% clean. Even my water is purified. Still working on getting a filtered shower head.. I hear that makes a big difference in your skin and hair as well. They are kinda steep though.

Edit to say: I dont use quick cooking oats or rice, because in order for them to cook quickly they are stripped and some of the benefits go with it.

Cool, thanks! I kind of do this already. Those stuffed peppers sound delicious.

They are the best. I love them.. even though greens make my belly bloat up.. (only for a little while..gas..:^: ) I still love to eat them. So good. Im a dork last night I had a lean turkey burger with munster cheese (not clean), with a whole wheat bun ( not clean) and snow peas. Too me.. it was just like a burger and fries.. only I enjoyed it more. If I ever ate red meat or fries ever again, I would probably yak! anyways.. just not worth it. :barf:

Bread is not clean because it's prepared? Meaning, grains are better? Is there anything bread-like that is clean? That's rough. :)

Cheese, too? What dairy products are clean?

And you lost 95 pounds! WOW, congrats.

Thank you

Unprocessed would be hard for me, I dont cook. And there's no way Im just eating raw vegetables! :O) Being vegetarian and trying to eat low fat/low cal, my diet is already so restricted that the thought of restricting it further is totally unappealing. Although the skin benefits make it REALLY tempting! But I have to have my cheese! And cooking, well its just not going to happen. And I consider boiling water cooking, so dont even THINK about telling me how quick and easy it can be! :lol:

There is organic cheese. Its not as processed, and the animals are treated better ( no steroids, no captivity, vegetarian fed, cuz cows are vegetarians by nature) Conventional dairy is so disgusting just because of how the animals are treated and what they are fed.. I wont mention it here, because I try to be "P.C." I will try to never eat conventional dairy again!
