Clean Eating

My fiancé and I have been talking about moving into a clean eating diet.  We are both very active and eat well about 50% of the time, but the other 50% of the time we’re eating more pizza and drinking more beer than we need to be.  Is anyone following a clean eating lifestyle?  Any tips on blogs, cookbooks, etc… would be much appreciated!

www.cleaneatingonline.com and  www.paleoplan.com have some good recipes.  Paleo is a stricter diet than clean, but some of the recipes are good.  Paleo fits within the clean eating plan, it just is a lot stricter.  Hope these two will help some.  I try to eat clean most of the time, but have trouble when my fiance pulls out some of the junk food when he's being "bad".  He also prefers a low fat diet and doesn't care if it's clean or not and that makes it hard, too.

Good Luck!

Yeah. 

I'm a vegan and a clean eater. I start out as a clean eater for a while and just recently swapped over to vegan.. It's incredibly difficult to be vegan and eat clean.. it's almost rawist (if you know what that is) 

Honestly, just research clean eating. it's straight forward and what soem would consider "common sense" 

Stop stocking the pantry and start stocking the fridge. It seems overwhelming at first (believe me.. I know.. I was once a diet soda-drinking, taco bell-in-the-middle-of-the-night eating, oreo and doritos lover. I can't tell you the last time I had any of those things)but it's so much better for you in the long run.
