Welcome to the world of buzz words. Some call this a lifestyle change, others refer to it as common sense. First of all “Clean Eating” doesn’t mean wash your fruits and vegetables, and yet I suspect you already knew that. Essentially, it means choosing foods that have been minimally processed with natural nutrients being at the forefront. It involves limiting artificial foods as much as you can. Check the ingredient list for added sugars (high fructose corn syrup is a well-known culprit) as well as unhealthy fats (like palm oil). Foods may be craftily disguised as “all-natural” but still contain growth hormones. It’s exhausting. The bottom line? Learn to pay attention to your body’s reaction. It goes a long way to help with weight control and a positive attitude. You can do this! Some of my posts have been favored by the “Food Network” on Twitter (Snapshotsincursive @DornaGail) as well as Ina Garten’s The Barefoot Contessa, on Instagram (gail _dorna). You can even find me on Pinterest at Gail Dorna. I’d love to connect with you there as well. I also met Chef Michelle Tribble of Hell’s Kitchen reality cooking show. Fun times. Experience different flavors and textures one bite at a time. Catch a glimpse of “Eating My Way Through the Alphabet: Clean Eating!”. This remarkable journey of the palate is unique because it gives me a few moments with you. Thanks very much to all of my guests and followers on http://snapshotsincursive.com for the uplifting support, award nominations, and moving words of encouragement.

Yes, Gail, clean food! I read a short book by Michael Pollan, Food Rules (I think those details are right, I gave the book to my sister-in-law so can’t check) which was fun and simple to follow. 💓🤗🙋♂️

As I age, I realize that I can’t always eat the portions I did when I was younger. Now I’m the choosy one. 🤣

I wholly agree with you, Gil, and as a vegetarian, it is easier in particular if you grow organically some of the vegetables and fruits, as I do.
Thank you, Gail, for writing about this very important topic.

I wonder if you get as excited by the sight of fresh vegetables at a farmers market as I do. I can’t decide what to photograph or add to my bag. 👀🍃

But are they all organic? Otherwise, yes, even the TV pictures of markets in Italy and France! That said, nothing beats the ambrosian taste of freshly dug up new potatoes with my chives or dill and a bit of butter, or redcurrants or cherries straight from the bushes.
No need to wash them either, and they are not at least 2 days old like on the market.
If you have space at the back yard, you could grow many things in tubs, or even in containers hanging on the wall.

Funny you should say that. My neighbor has a live of all things botanical. He said if I buy the herb plants, he will nurture them and care for them. 🍃🪴

Don’t think twice, Gail, say yes, please! Potatoes can grow in a stand up bag by the back door!

As a vegetarian, I am safe from hormones in the food but still have to look at the ingredients for artificial adds.

What prompted you to make the change, if you don’t mind my asking.

The first time I felt so sorry with the animals. I was 14. Started eating meat again with 22. Then during the second lockdown, my son (who loved meat) said, he would give up on meat for the time of the lockdown. Now 2.5 years later, we are still hanging in.

Guys do tend to gravitate naturally to meats. It’s in their genetics. 😜
