Episode 39: A Warning About “Clean Eating” Plans — How Your Intention Of Eating Healthy May Set You Up To Spiral Into Disordered Eating Patterns
When your intention is to improve your nutrition and health, it can be tempting to turn to “clean eating” plans as the solution, but what most people don’t realize is that these restrictive diets can actually set you up for failure and lead to disordered eating patterns such as binging, food cravings and obsessing about food 24/7. Yikes! In this episode, I give some warnings about why a clean eating plan can be harmful and backfire, in the hopes that you can save yourself from the misery that can result.
I talk about
- Why clean eating does not necessarily equal healthy living.
- The misconception women have about what healthy looks like.
- The importance of inclusion and quantity as principles for true healthy eating/living.
- How many “health experts” may themselves be struggling with disordered eating behind closed doors.
- What orthorexia is and how an obsession with eating clean can become a severe eating disorder.
- The comparison trap — how what works for one person doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
- How to begin to take your authority back from experts and listen to your body to help you determine what eating and foods are right and best for your own health (your body knows!).
- Why doing the inner emotional work is necessary to make the eating improvements you desire.
