188. Why Clean Eating Feels Great Until It Doesn't

from Strong Is a Mindset · host Carrie Holland, MD, CPT

Have you ever started a clean eating plan that felt amazing at first, only to watch it completely unravel when life got stressful?   For a lot of women, clean eating works… until it doesn't. And when it stops working, it usually has less to do with food than you think. In this episode, I break apart something that comes up constantly with clients and gets oversimplified in the nutrition world: the pattern of clean eating that starts out feeling stabilizing, then slowly becomes something fragile that takes a lot more effort to maintain.   Tune in this week to learn how to recognize the clean eating cycle that keeps so many women stuck. You'll hear why food rules feel comforting when life is messy (and why that's a problem), and what sustainable eating actually looks like. If you've ever felt like clean eating started out supportive but ended up holding you down, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/188   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/
