Eating clean is subjective. one considers cereal unclean but in reality there are micronutrients in those sources
some say diary is unclean but it is loaded with vitamin D, Calcium and various other micronutrients.
You realize the problem is yourself and your mental mindset. Please read the article i posted above it will help you greatly

Here is another great one:
hat I mean is if you want to lose weight while also maintaining as much lean mass as possible, you need to do more than just maintain a caloric deficit.
You need to ensure you get enough protein every day to preserve muscle.
You need to ensure you eat enough carbs, which provide your muscles with the glycogen stores needed to maintain training intensity.
(And in case you’re worried that eating carbs will make you fat, check out my article on carbohydrates and weight loss to learn why this isn’t true.)
You need to ensure you eat enough healthy fats, which play an important role in hormone synthesis.
This is why counting macros is superior to counting just calories. It allows you to focus on improving body composition, not simply dropping or gaining pounds.
f you eat too much junk food, and too few healthy foods, you will develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can cause many different health problems.
Furthermore…
When we consider eating a lot of high-glycemic carbohydrates, we shouldn’t ignore research associating increased consumption with an increased risk for chronic disease.
You don’t have to completely abstain from high-glycemic carbs, but it’s much smarter to rely mainly on medium- and low-GI options.
If we eat too much low-quality, processed meat, we may be increasing our risk of cancer.
Sure, our bodies can use McDonalds burger patties to build muscle, and we could use flexible dieting to eat them every day, but is it worth the potential health risks?
The more trans fats (found in many processed foods) we eat, the higher our risk of heart disease, diabetes, infertility, and more.
There’s a reason why the Institute of Medicine recommends that our trans fat intake be “as low as possible.” The stuff is bad.
My point is health matters more than how you look.
Being shredded doesn’t matter if your hormone profile is whacked, your immune system is suppressed, and your body is starving for nutrients.
