What's better: Eating Clean vs Eating less calories?

I'm thinking about the long term but primarily, I want to lose 20-25 pounds. I'm doing HIIT exercises but want to get rid of my muffin top and have a slimmer face. Thanks.

These people know not what they're talking about. IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) is based upon eating at a caloric deficit which allows you to lose weight NO MATTER WHAT YOU EAT. If you eat clean but eat at a caloric surplus than you will get fat. Usually however if you eat clean, you'll be able to fill yourself up with a lot less calories than junk food. So they usually go hand in hand.

less calories > eating clean

Eating clean, hands down!
When eating clean you also achieve a healthy and reasonable balance of the other nutritions, you know. That's also important :)

Go on the paleo diet. It helped my mom and cousin lose a ton of weight and it helped my acne intill I cheated. It's no dairy, no wheat or gluten and no high processed foods. Just google what it is

I am against deprivation policy lol so eat less calories. I am about 100 pounds, I eat everything, and I have flat stomach. I just eat small portions

To lose weight? eating clean with a calorie deficit.

Eating -mainly- clean is always good.

Eating clean of course is healthier. But eating less calories is faster to lose weight on.
