These days "eating clean" doesn't raise an eyebrow like it did. You may not do it, but you know what it is. Johnny Bowden, a nutritionist and author, suggests to audiences trying to avoid eating anything with a barcode.
Easier said than done but you get the idea. If you suffer from any food allergies- you may not even be aware of it. It doesn't have to show up for you like itchy watery eyes and sneezing non-stop from pollen or dust. You could simply have less energy, more lethargy and not be performing optimally. Not ideal if you're training for an Ironman, or life in general!
CLEAN by Alejandro Junger, MD is a book worth looking at and a program, on some level, worth considering.
www.thecleanprogram.com is where you can find out more about the author and the program before you dive into the book. It is meant to be a short term change and to show you what you're doing that doesn't serve you well, and let you decide what you put back in once you've eliminated certain toxins from your diet.
