What is a clean diet for you? Do you have a clean diet?

A clean diet for me is having as many of my meals as possible be unprocessed/minimally processed food. I have to make an exception for my protein powder though! When I eat natural foods, I feel like a million bucks - that's mostly why I do it.
I eat clean 5-6 days per week. I can usually pull off 6, but sometimes those weekends are hard to beat! I think everyone has a different definition of a "clean diet." I am interested to see what other people say. Great question!

Clean diet to me involves no or little processed stuff - I eat my food pretty plain so butter, salt, extra sauce, etc. is not really an issue for me. Get those 5-6 meals in there, with 1-2 protein mixes / day depending on time and schedule. Lots of water, keep the diet cokes to a min (my vice...). Maybe drinking 1-2 x/week. Occassional fruits, best is strawberries w/ the AM oatmeal / protein mix or eggs. I notice that my system is clean when I eat something like a good salad w/ grilled chicken & a little bit after the meal, I can feel my arms tingle. (If you're into "eastern medicine", certain foods are supposed to stimulate upper or lower extremities.) I can also sleep well and look forward to training while not getting hunger pangs between meals.

Throwing off a clean diet involves those moments when I just can't look at another chicken & decide I need some junkfood. I hate that. Particularly "that time of the month".

A clean diet to me means meat and fruit or veggies at wach meal. No bread, pasta, or potatoes. No alcohol, no sugar. Primary source of fat is olive oil.
