Clean Eating Challenge

So I have been noticing a few of my friends on facebook posting about how they are doing the clean eating challenge and eating clean for the month of January.  That sounds great and I am happy they are making an effort to eat better, BUT..they are still eating crap!  One of my friends has been posting pics of her dinner every night and I am shocked that she actually thinks she is eating well.  Every night it is some mixture of dairy, some overly processed soy product like bacon bits, an overly processed "low fat" bread product and some assorted greens.

Last time I checked any sort of processed food was still junk.  Just because it says organic or low fat does not mean its healthy.  If you want to eat clean then go for organic whole foods like fruits and vegetables.  You can eat all you want and it's healthy.

Today I had 6 grapefruits, 5 bananas, a cup of fresh cherries, 8 oranges, 10 dates, 2 apples, a bell pepper and some pineapple.  I can't imagine being any cleaner than that!

I can't wait to see what kind of changes in health and weight my clean eating friends are going to have after 30 days.  I have lost 30 pounds in the last 60 days eating mainly fruit... I have had a few cheat days.. and I feel great.  I wonder if any of the clean eaters will have those kinds of results.
