Carb loading as a Clyde/Ahtena is not necessary. If you are a large person (given that most of that weight is excess) your body has a lot of stored energy as fat. Training your body without the extra intake of carbs for "energy" will give you quicker results.
As far as "clean eating" goes, just don't drink soda, don't get your protein in the form of fast food hamburgers, and don't go crazy with the portions. Train your body to not need junk food, willpower is the best diet.
