Have you done the eat clean diet?

Was it difficult to adapt to?  Did you buy any of the recipe books?  I'm considering it. 

Re: Have you done the eat clean diet?

  • I eat mostly clean, of course it's harder now that I am pg and craving things like Baked Cheetos.  No, I didn't buy a special cookbook, but if you are typically cooking unclean meals and aren't familiar with it, then yes, you can buy a cookbook.  I bought the Eat-Clean diet book a while ago when it was on sale for $5.00 and free shipping.  It has some good information as well as some recipes.  I have never been one to get a lot of processed things so it hasn't been a big change for me.  I actually just wrote a post on this in my blog last night.  Check it out.
  • I follow it with only a little deviation.  I bought Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean Diet Recharged, and thought it was really useful and provided good meal suggestions.  It wasn't too difficult to adapt to, but we had already been eating very little processed/junk food already.

  • We do it using the Eat Clean Cookbook and the Eat Clean for Families but are not obsessed with it. I have made changes to our lifestyle and am trying to buy more clean items but we do eat out and splurge. I don't eat as much as they recommend (5 times a day) every day because some days I am just not hungry. That said I have lost about 40lbs since giving birth.

    I want to get a subscription to the magazine to add variety to our meals. Starting out it was a little expensive but now that I have the ingredients I am not spending as much on groceries and we have a lot of leftovers to eat. The recipes are full of flavor and for the most part have been good. They are a little work, chopping, prepping, etc. 

    DH does pack a cooler everyday and takes it with him. I am a SAHM so I don't have to worry about the cooler.

  • the eat clean diet is the ONLY way to go! before i was pregnant, i was a fitness competitor, and let me tell you that all the healthy women in the fitness world use this diet. it will literally cut your body fat% and you can still eat!

    i agree with previous poster on being able to splurge once in a while :) 

     this is a really healthy way to go though, on half.com you can buy all the eat clean books/recipe books for super cheap
