attempting a week of eating clean

FavoriteOne

I bought Tosca Rena's "The Eat Clean Diet Recharged" and have just started reading it. I haven't gotten all the way through it yet (it's a huge book), but I've got the basic principles down. I'm attempting to eat clean for this week. I'm unsure about a couple of ingredients in some of my recipes, but I think that I should be fine, right? For example, I'm making slow-cooker lentil soup (WW recipe) and it's all clean except for the chicken broth I have.

Anyway, I'm just really excited for some of these recipes this week:
Oatmeal Pancakes
Slow Cooker Lentil Soup
Roasted Acorn Squahs with orange-ginger sauce
Spicy Tilapia
Lemon-Thyme Wild Rice
Orange Cream Smoothie
Chicken & Barley Soup
Fish Fritters with red pepper & malt vinegar sauce

What are your favorite clean recipes?

Good for you!  I'll be excited to hear how it goes for you.  I've heard so many good things about clean eating.  I just haven't read about it yet.

I try to buy organic broths to help out the less-than-clean situation a bit.

Can I have your slow cooker lentil soup?  I had a recipe I'd planned on making last night with lentils, so I got them at the grocery store, but then I just didn't have time, so now I have lentils, and nothing to do with them!

I don't really have any favourite clean recipes yet, but most things can be made clean.  I tried the protein pancakes from my Quick and Easy Clean Eating book/magazine and they were, um, gross.  Ha.

Sounds awesome.  I didn't know they had a book for clean eating.  That sounds fun.  I'll try to check that out.

I have to check out the eating clean books! I did 6 weeks of Paleo/Primal earlier this year, and this seems from what i can tell a "light" version of Paleo. Paleo is no grains, no dairy, no processed foods. Grass-fed meats. Organic veggies.

Am I right? You can have dairy, grains, etc so long as it's clean (not processed)? That's pretty much how I've been eating lately, since strict Paleo is HARD especially since I travel so much for work now.

I hear eating clean is an awesome way to eat!
I have a recipe that involves lentils and can't find them in my grocery store. I'm sure it's because I'm totally overlooking them since I've never cooked with them/bought them. Can someone please tell me where you found them in your grocery store?
