Through my work in the health & fitness field over the last 19 years, I have spoken with thousands of individuals. It has become clear to me there are a few misconceptions about health eating. Whether called eating good, better than good, and clean, the goal is often the same. While the attempt to reform your diet is admirable, using the wrong road map will take you to the wrong destination every time. If you are trying to attain a healthier or leaner body it’s most important to use the map/plan that will get you to your destination.
Often when people begin to eat “good” they approach nutrition with a restriction mindset. Daily intake can consist of few meal replacement shakes, a solid meal and a few snacks each day. Others believe eating “good” is achieved by shopping at the local organic grocer and exploring the meal stations. Yet, others attempt to skip meals altogether. Such restriction will only slow your metabolism causing calorie retention (often in the form of fat) and low energy. You see even organic and whole foods have the same calories as their counterparts. Replacement meals and shakes can be riddled with sodium, artificial sweeteners, and ingredients I can’t even pronounce. Fat-free & reduced fat has guaranteed added sugars and carbohydrates to compensate for removed fat and to enhance flavor.
Eating “better than good” often tries to take healthy eating even further. This can involve a conscious effort to eat regularly, to keep your metabolism burning; skipping deserts and eating in – to avoiding the calorie, fat and sugar laden foods at restaurants. While this approach may lead to slight changes in body mass/composition, health markers and energy it lacks in the comprehensive approach of fueling your body with nutrients that the body can readily use and needs to function optimally.
Clean eating is a lifestyle of choosing foods that are nutrient dense, vitamin and mineral filled to stoke your metabolic fire and provide your body with needed nutrition. Clean eating eliminates excess fat, sugar, sodium, artificial sugars, gluten, dairy and preservatives from your diet. Meals are balanced and regular to keep you metabolism fueled. Individuals may use calorie restrictions and/or carbohydrate restrictions, individually tailored to his/her individual metabolic needs and health goals. Eating clean is simple – fresh, nutrient rich foods without the additives that our bodies have difficulty processing. However, preparing clean meals, for every meal, every day can become overwhelming especially for someone learning the ropes of clean living.
