Clean Eating

Medusa · 06-23-2010, 10:31 AM

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

I have chosen to stop drinking diet soda.

Good for you, Chancie!!

I'm working on cutting back on sodas and other drinks that are mostly sugar or chemicals that taste like sugar. Not all the way yet, but I'm making progress!

I really think taking small steps is the right way for me. It feels so much more *doable* this way.

What else are you all doing?

I have moved toward clean eating since I moved back to Ohio. I use to buy frozen foods, packaged meals in boxes and bags, and canned goods. Now you wont find these in my house, except for the occassional rare frozen pizza and ice cream. When I think back on how many mac and cheeses, hamburger helpers and hot pockets I use to eat, I groan. I cant eat those things anymore. In fact, even fast foods hurt my stumach if I indulge in them.

I eat alot alot alot of fresh fruits and vegetables. I buy chicken from the stores but am looking for a source that is more local in hope to get away from the chemicals they pump into them. I just heard they shove sugar into chicken to make it more tasty for our palates. Really??? I am not much of a red meat eater.

I am gardening so I can can and freeze my own foods.

My big downfall is the dang candy I consume and that has SO much trash in it, along with the processed sugar. I have a helluva sweet tooth. I go thru rounds of getting away from it and then I find myself going back to it. Its a never ending battle with sugar and me...

oh and I love Fresca and yes I do buy it on occasion. Dont get me started on diet sodas. I buy some every week but I have cut way down. I buy caffeine free if I buy them.

life is a journey with alot of processes to go thru...all I can do is try and when I fall off my route, to climb back on it...
