I have been weight lifting for almost ten years now (yes i did start when i was 11) and have been study Exercise Science in college. the thing that has most surprised me is that weight lifting is not the only way you can gain strength and size. there so many alternatives out there such as, rubber band training and military style calisthenic workouts. That being said weight lifting is awesome because of how much you can vary your workout even with only two dumbbells.
i also feel you on the eating clean thing. Good foods just don't have many calories so it is hard to eat a enough and because they make your metabolism run better you feel like your always hungry!
