Eat-clean diet

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Eat-clean diet is a dietary regimen that emphasizes the consumption of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while minimizing the intake of processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats. The diet is based on the principle that eating natural, "clean" foods can improve health and promote weight loss.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The eat-clean diet is not a traditional "diet" in the sense of strict rules and restrictions. Instead, it is a lifestyle choice that encourages healthy eating habits. The main principles of the diet include eating five to six small meals a day, consuming lean proteins and complex carbohydrates at every meal, and drinking at least two liters of water a day.

Benefits[edit | edit source]

The eat-clean diet can offer several health benefits. These include weight loss, improved energy levels, better digestion, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Criticisms[edit | edit source]

Despite its benefits, the eat-clean diet has been criticized for being overly restrictive and difficult to follow. Some experts also argue that the diet's emphasis on "clean" foods can lead to an unhealthy obsession with food purity and quality.
