Clean eating question

My body is kind of out of portion. My belly is bigger than everything else. I want to try to work on that. I know cardio, which I've been trying to do, but I hear about clean eating a lot! What is that exactly? Would it really help my big mama belly, I swear I still look pregnant and lo is 2 1/2.

It sucks cause size 18 fits my legs good, a tad bit lose and it's super super tight my my belly, so literally I can't wear jeans. If I wear size 20, it's fits my waist good but way way way way lose on my legs, idk if that makes sense.

It means not eating processed crap

Fruits, veggies, organic meats and cheeses.

No premade dinners, no boxed food, etc. Keeping all food as natural as possible

I wouldn't call cheeze its "clean eating". It has almost no nutritional value

Right, I was kind of being sarcastic. I just meant...that's all you're supposed to eat? Meats, veggies, and cheese?

We really need a sarcasm font

Mostly, yea, just fruits and veggies. Nothing processed. Keep food as "whole" and natural as possible

haha, yeah. No way did I think cheez it's were clean eating. I just don't know if I could eat just meat, fruits, and veggies.

OP, I did hear that someone my family knows lost a bunch of weight shopping ONLY on the outside perimeter of the grocery store. Sounds easy and good to me, but my son and SO like some snacks. They are better at moderation than I am.

yup, with clean eating, you don't go down the aisles.  

Thing I tried clean eating and i just couldnt do it =/ I didnt have the self control.



Im the same way though i have this big gut and every else is skinny. I'm like a 5 in my waste and a 3 in my legs. I was a 0/1 pre pregnancy.

I'm a carb craver. I MUST go down the aisles! haha I just try to pick the cleanest things in the aisle.

Yeah I'm the same way. I love carbs

I think I buy 80% clean

Quoting Kelly&Coralie:" Yeah I'm the same way. I love carbs I think I buy 80% clean"

I think I do too. Minus the stuff I buy for SO and J.

Making a mealplan and shopping once a week has really helped me start eating "cleaner" though.

For me, it's about laziness

I don't feel like cooking, so I eat raw veggies and fruit all day. I don't wanna cok or wash dishes LOL

lol I'm lazy too but I don't choose fruits and veggies. I'll pick CHEEZ ITS haha like NOW! or things like that. So I make a meal plan and put it on the fridge. It helps me stick to it. Then we don't eat out or something.
