Hello Bari pals...

Can someone help me understand exactly what clean eating is... ??

Thank you!

I am eating clean.Nothing processed.No sauces,No sugar ,healthy food.Eggs,fish,nuts,lean cuts of meat or chicken.Soups that I make are examples.

Yes, no processed foods. Clean means simple.

I was told don't eat anything White cuz it's going to be crap.No white flour,

no sugar, etc

Milk is the only thing white that I imbibe and even that in real small moderation,

only in my tea or coffee. Obviously one can get carried away with the word"processed",

any oil could be described as processed -

I mean oils and vinaigres etc could be called processed but that's not what

we're talking about here. Those things have been made for a millennia, we're talking about avoiding

modern processing processes in factories, so this cuts out a ton of food, but I don't know about

you guys, but I wanna change my life and the habits that got me to Bariatric surgery in the first place

.

Hi. Also means whole food organic Protein powders. Read about them. Once you start, it's your new addiction. I also switch my brands around and use 2 at a time alternating to take advantage of all the different nutrients. Clean eating makes you feel wonderful and it can only help.

Good Luck Lynn

I would add that you should also pay attention to your meat selections. The nutritional makeup of grass fed beef is significantly better than most of the beef that is available in the grocery store. We eat such a small amount and the Protein and other nutrients that it provides us are so vital - it is so important to get the most nutritional value out of every bite we are eating. It is also lower in calories. Free range chicken is also much better for you. It takes some time, but is worth learning about.

Here is a link to a good article that explains it well:
