I've got nothing for you. I'm a "Eat Clean" convert.. and aside from the fact that I can't eat a big serving of carbs (oatmeal) in the morning.. it's working wonders for me. I've lost 21 lbs since Aug 1.

So far my experience is regardless of calorie count, I gain if I eat too much carbs or too much salt.. and lose if I keep those in check with meals that consist of 4-5 oz protein and a serving of complex carbs. (eg: 1/2 chix breast with a lot of green beans with butter and garlic).
