‘Clean Eating’ Is a Fuzzy Term — and That’s Why It Works

“Clean eating” is a phrase thrown around a lot in the health-and-wellness scene. I use it all the time. I like it because there’s no formal definition, and it’s not a one-size-fits-all plan. Let’s face it: There isn’t one perfect plan that will work for everyone, physiologically or behaviorally. Our bodies work differently from one another. Some physiologically need more fat, some need more carbs, and all need different mixes of vitamins and minerals.

"‘Clean Eating’ Is a Fuzzy Term — and That’s Why It Works" is from the January 10, 2017 Lifestyle section of The Washington Post. It was written by Jae Berman and narrated by Sam Scholl.
