3. Alas, there is so many different things promoted as "clean"

I know a lady who is on and off Atkins and routinely has GIANT glasses of half and half with 2 tables spoons of coffee in it, enormous plates of bacon, fatty meat fried in butter and she calls it "clean" because it's low carb.

Another vegan friend practically lives on pasta and vegan frozen dinners (and beer, and cupcakes!) She also thinks she is eating "clean" because there are no animal products.

Both of them are unhappy with their overall fitness and weight...I used to eat "healthy whole grains" a lot, lots of whole wheat bread and pasta, I thought I was eating healthy too.
