34. The Problems With 'Clean Eating'

Imbodi Health

Have you ever felt pressure to 'eat clean' in pursuit of the perfect diet?

'Clean eating' is a vague, non-scientifically-defined term that usually refers to diets containing mostly whole, minimally processed foods. 'Clean eating' demonises certain foods as 'bad' and elevates other foods as 'good/'pure'/'healthy'. Unfortunately, black and white thinking around food can really impact our relationship with food!

In this episode, Kiah and Meg discuss:

  • What is clean eating?
  • How clean eating can lead to nutritional deficiencies
  • What happens to our relationship with food when we ban certain foods from our diet
  • Health elitism and nutrition privilege
  • How to respond to #cleaneating content when you come across it
  • Defining your own version of health

At Imbodi Health, our mission is to empower you to ditch diet culture, make friends with food and find peace with your body. Find your version of ‘whole health’ no matter your body shape or size.

Tune in weekly for bite-sized episodes on all things non-diet nutrition, disordered eating recovery, joyful movement, self-care and body acceptance.

If you enjoy our episodes, please give us a written review on Apple podcasts. It helps our podcast to be shown to more people!
