I personally believe that your overall health and well-being will come from 80% of what you eat. Trying to be eat 'clean' 100% of the time is destined to failure.
I eat nothing but fruits, veg, nuts, seeds and grass/ground fed meat from Sunday evening until Friday afternoon. Absolutely no sugar or processed carbs. The weekends, no holds barred. Pizza, icecream, beer, whatever.
This has worked extremely well for me over the years. I'd estimate I'm at about 11% body fat ... but I also exercise vigorously 3-4 times per week. The funny thing is ... the longer I eat this way ... the less 'junk' food I eat on the weekends. You just gradually lose the taste for it. Knowing I've got the opportunity for a freebee weekend coming up every week makes the the strict weekdays simple though.
Not saying this is the only solution. Just an example of what works for me.
