Not Cathe but,clean eating is basically meats and eggs, fresh veggies, fresh fruits,almost anything that you will find on the perimiter of the grocery store. Yes, I do cheat. I eat mostly clean, but have no problem with grabbing a few pieces of chocolate or gummy candy. Sometimes when we go out if I have eaten well all week I will just go all out. I have found going off diet once in awhile does not make a lot of difference in your physique. If you go overboard on sodium you will have a noticeable difference for a couple of days.

I asked this exact question a while back and the answer given to me was this:
An apple is better than applesauce, and applesauce is better than apple pie.
Kind of simplistic, but it worked for me. I have actually adopted an eating plan out of the Body for Life books. It stresses more of smart carbs rather than low carbs, and eating smaller meals more often. A snack is some string cheese and an apple, or something like that.
I have to say that I am never hungry, but the thing I have come to love is that I am never "stuffed". I have discovered that I actually don't like that overfull kind of bloated feeling. Being satisfied and not hungry is really a nice place to be.
I also know that I have a "free day", so if I truly am craving something not that great for me, I only have to wait a few days and I can eat what I want.
I hope this helps, and I look forward to better answers than mine

It's also called "whole foods". Foods should be eaten in a form as close to their natural state as possible. Read nutrition labels. The fewer the ingredients the better. I like to be able to pronounce all the ingredients in the food I eat. And yes, cheating is half the fun! LOL! I cheat when I eat out. Last time my husband and I split a decadent piece of chocolate cake and I let him have most of it but it was yummy!
