Clean Eating

TODAY there are so many different dieting protocols with lots of different labels.

IIFYM, Flexible Dieting, Intermittent Fasting, Clean eating etc. . . . .

There seems to be a divide between those who focus on the numbers (macros/calories) and those who preach the importance of food quality, and then the finer details including nutrient timing and even using specific sources of each macro at given times of the day for a better outcome.

I come from the old school, and by that I mean what happened to common sense eating?

There's no denying that a diet made up, for the most part from "natural" clean foods such as vegetables, fruit, meat, fish and the likes of will be healthier for us. There's also no denying that including some s***, when it's appropriate isn't going to kill you.

It's about being balanced. But not justifying eating s*** by saying it's a "balanced" diet. Make sense?

Seeing this bulls*** about IIFYM where the general public are led into thinking that athletes are just eating s*** and stay in shape where as in reality for most, it's a small part of their calorie intake.

Forget all the fancy stuff and get back to basics. Back down to earth, see food for what it really is and use it as its supposed to be. To improve health, to be enjoyable and support your goals.
