| The quest to "Eat Clean" may be sabotaging your success. |
I recently came across a blog post from a personal trainer who was going on about why he doesn't eat clean and why you shouldn't either. Of course I was more than a little surprised to hear that but considering the source, (the man is in phenomenal shape), he may have a point. Here are some things to consider about "eating clean".
"Eating Clean" May be Code for an Eating Disorder
You know the type. At every get together they announce, "Oh I'm now gluten free, sugar free, meat free...." Every time you see them, some other food group has been entirely dropped from their menu. What may really be going on is a full blown eating disorder where only a very narrow selection of foods are considered "safe". Dropping entire food groups means that you will need to either eat something else to make up the lost nutrients or at the very least supplement to avoid dietary deficiencies.
