I'm getting contradicting information about what this is. The #1 rule on one website was eat 6 times a day. How is that clean? oped - you made it sound like you avoided processed foods and foods with a bad pesticide rating. But, the meals plans I've seen have all the foods I recall you listing as being part of the "dirty dozen" or whatever. Is this one of those things where everyone has their own take on it, or is there really a definition?

I don't see what the number of times you eat per day has to do with clean eating. I thought clean eating meant no processed food?

My thoughts exactly. I know that is a common technique in some weight loss plans - so maybe it was a "eat clean to lose weight" website - although it wasn't too upfront with that. It said that if I don't eat 6x a day, I will lose my willpower and eat funyons. Well, that has never happened, and it won't start now. Those things are nasty.

I just checked the book, it does say eat 6 times a day. The book was given to me, I've never actually read it. I think of eating clean as no prepared foods. Foods such as fruits, veggies and meats made from good, basic ingredients. I'm not willing to read the book to find out how far off I am.

I'm better at skimming than reading.

The holidays AND my birthday are just around the corner. I don't care to know anything about "clean eating" at this point in time. Check back with me on January 1st, though.

The Eat Clean Diet Recharged by Tosca Reno.
I have scanned chapter 14, meal plans and grocery lists.
Let's just say there is never going to be a day in my life that starts with oatmeal topped with flaxseed and bee pollen; scrambled egg whites; distilled water or herbal tea.
I'll have either oatmeal (maybe with flax seed, probably not) with fruit and yogurt or scrambled egg whites with veggies and coffee. More than likely I'll have just coffee.
Bee pollen, distilled water and herbal tea are not ever on my grocery list.

"Clean eating" principles have become (always were?) very popular with bodybuilders, who often also need to eat 6+ times a day to prevent catabolism, so that may be part of the reason for the conflation.
(Just googled pics of Tosca Reno in her prime... although she's not a monstrous steroid-injecting brick shithouse of a gal, it's clear that one does not achieve her level of physical fitness without hitting the gym -- hard.)

LOL - My birthday is the first week of January. For a long time I forbid my friends from making resolutions until the week after my birthday. Otherwise, for their birthday we would go out and eat and drink and charge it all on our credit cards and just plain be stupid. And then my birthday would come and it was all "No, sorry - my new years resolution is to lose weight, save money and stop drinking." Assholes.

Are you asking about a regimine in a specific book or just the concept in general?
I can help quite a bit with the later... not with the first part.

LOL, I wasn't even thinking about the fact that i'm allergic to bees. I was just thinking that bee pollen isn't food. And distilled water goes in my iron.

I'm trying to get the lingo straight for when people say "I eat clean" I want to know what they are doing without quizzing them. I got paleo - no dairy, no grains, and 8,000 pounds almond butter a month.
