After seeing a few statuses on Trying to eat clean now I will inevitably see those same people a few weeks down the line saying the same thing or giving up on everything health and fitness related. Eating clean is not a term we use or will ever use, it just doesnt take sense. We know that you can add in foods you love in moderation and see the same if not better results than some unsustainable clean/healthy eating plan you are on! What does the Science say about it all? Study found that individuals who engage in rigid dieting strategies reported symptoms of an eating disorder, mood disturbances, and excessive concern with body size/shape. In contrast, flexible dieting strategies were not highly associated with BMI, eating disorder symptoms, mood disturbances, or concerns with body size. Since this was a cross sectional study, causality of eating disorder symptoms could not be addressed. These findings replicate and extend the findings of earlier studies. These findings suggest that rigid dieting strategies, but not flexible dieting strategies, are associated with eating disorder symptoms and higher BMI in nonobese women. (Stewart et al., 2002) The strongest canonical correlation (r=0.65) was the relationship between flexible dieting and the absence of overeating, lower body mass and lower levels of depression and anxiety (Smith et al., 1999) Both food cravings and rigid dietary control strategies have been implicated in low dieting success while flexible control often is associated with successful weight loss. An online survey was conducted (N=616) to test the mediational role of food cravings between dietary control strategies and self-perceived dieting success. Food cravings fully mediated the inverse relationship between rigid control and dieting success. Contrarily, flexible control predicted dieting success independently of food cravings, which were negatively associated with dieting success (Meule et al., 2011) It doesnt look like we need to say much more! Use flexible dieting to moderate the foods you love in your nutrition and everyone kicks up a fuss, have a cheat meal/day of 10,000kcals and thats totally fine. Doesnt make sense!
