Clean eating does not mean you must go vegetarian or vegan. Clean Eating means you avoid processed and fatty foods. What you eat should not have any artificial ingredients, filler ingredients, added sugar, or chemical preservatives. One way to think of clean eating is like this: What you have on your plate should more or less look like how the item would look in its natural state, or as if you have prepared it from the source. Such a diet can and does include meat. That chicken breast is simply a breast from a chicken. Sadly, there is no tree that grows chocolate cake. There is no bush that produces pasta. No animal secretes ice cream. In practice, the main food group that gets excluded from Clean Eating is dairy. Unless you are going to go out of your way to obtain raw cow or goat milk, there is no way to buy any dairy produced that isn’t illicitly processed (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc). The other food group that is severely limited is grains. Pure grains are fine, rice, corn, oats etc., but anything created with grains is not okay, pasta, bread, pastry, etc. Again, if you use the guideline that what you eat should look like how you find it in nature that can guide you the rest of the way. For example, tomatoes are fine, ketchup is not. Blueberries are fine, a blueberry pie is not.
