DIET and TRAINING
What you think is a clean diet may indeed be one as compared to most Americans. However a clean “fitness” diet is so hard to maintain.
For details on dieting, be prepared to post several days worth of food choices. Be honest and be ready for nit-picking critiques. There is a difference between eating “clean” and eating “healthy”. Healthy is good – but it won’t necessarily get you lean.
Clean diets include lean protein sources, healthy fats, and complex carbs. It does not include processed foods. If your food has a list of ingredients as long as my arm – don’t eat it. Processed usually means high in calories, low in nutrition – plus it is harder for your body to break down and use.
WOWW-I THOUGHT A HEALTHY DIET AND A CLEAN DIET WAS THE SAME THING. I DISCOVERED THIS SITE ABOUT TWO DAYS AGO, AND I LEARNED SO MUCH-I LOVE READING THIS SITE.
Can I be assured I am eating a clean diet if it is mainly natural? (or not processed)? My favorite places to eat salads is SUBWAY and OLIVE GARDEN. Are the vegetables they put in the salads "clean foods?" I do not eat the dressing because it takes away from the salad-it does not taste as good with the dressing. I do not know what Subway does, but they have some secret to their vegetables. The salads I make at home does not taste like that, with the exact same vegetables. I will go to the olive garden, or get it to go, just for the salads.
One other question, as I also asked on another posts; someone told me that shrimp was not a clean protein. What does this mean?
As far as the steroids, I am scared to death of them. I never plan to use them. But I am very inspired by all the athletes.

If you are eating vegetables - then yes, they are "clean". "Clean" means not processed, and as close to natural as possible.
If you are leaving out the dressing, then the veggies are clean. But you might want to consider adding a light dressing of Olive Oil and a vinegar (red wine vinegar, balsalmic vinegar). The OO is a great source of fats.

I am new to elite and wanted to get some input from ya. I just graduated from TSU and I am going to start at my new job in a few weeks.
I have lost 70 lbs. and want to lose another 10 lbs. to completely lean out. Problem is, I have been at a plataeu for 8 MONTHS!! I know that a plateau can last anywhere from 3 months to 1 1/2 years and I need to do something to lean out fast for credibility.
I have done everything: diet modifications, calorie rotations, changes in my exercise/training routine and nothing is working. I have even done the two weeks of rest to hopefully overcome my plataeu, but that hasn't helped either lol.....
I was debating on taking clenbuterol to help me lean out. Is there anything else supplement wise that will help me get rid of the last bit of body fat?!
I know how to diet and I know how hard to workout but the body is fighting me on the last bit of weight- you know how it can be!! The last 10 lbs are the hardest to lose!!!!
I have been told that I will overcome my plateau in time, but time is running out. I wanna look good on the first day!!! LOL......
Thanks for any advice you can give me, I appreciate it.

Clen won't do it for sure. Clen is a contest prep drug IMO and is best left to those whos abs are already visable. It's rather dangerous for the LIMITED benefits.
As to your "plateau"... I'm sure if you lay out your daily routines, including training and real diet then your problem is going to be solved shortly.

Everyone who says steroids do not burn fat are 100% wrong, everytime they say it...and showing their ignorance of the subject matter every time they repeat that garbage.

I know it's been a month.... this thread seemed to just "die".... I don't know why, seems like your question was not answered. My hubby and I hit a plateau...and we switched to a completely different traning plan.... EDT, by Charles Staley... GODS DID IT WORK... and it is an extremely intense program.... check it out on line and good luck.
OH... we also started training with Kettlebells (Dragondoor.com) Look at "The Kettlebell Goddess". These routines WILL bust a plateau. I'd like to see you DIET as well.
