The evil of sugary or processed food is that you have a high and then a low, right? So, instead of a steady day, you're eating lots of empty cals and are hungry all day... did I miss something??? I just want to have it right- so that when I'm tempted, I've got the self-lecture straight !!

1) remind me of what "eating clean" includes and excludes... where do the following fall: yogurt (flavored), bran cereal, whole wheat (sugar-free) bread, ff cheese, canned veges. 2) btw - why eat clean? isn't all that matters # of cals and proportions of carb/pro/fat? 3) what is ideal...

Thanks Spatterson! I can always count on your answers! hope you don't mind a follow up... 2) what are "starchy" carbs ? I thought that was rice, potatoes, and, corn...but that's not right is it? 1) rotate carb intake??? Can you be more specific about how that would work... or is that...
