Well i might have known this query would result in some of the very predictable suggestions ....but thankyou also for the sensible ones!!!

I just read an article on "clean eating", which is no processed foods, lean meats, whole wheat breads, hard cheeses (once you get to start adding dairy back in), veggies, fruits, etc. (too long to go through it all, but u get the idea) I am assuming "dirty eating" is the opposite. Processed foods, fatty meats, etc.....

See this phrase quite a lot in posts ..what does it mean?

I don't shower between my morning run and my first meal.

Does that count?

Generally it is someone that eats what they want when they want it as long as it fits in their daily calorie/macros goal. So if you want to eat a bacon cheeseburger, fries, pop and a twinkie, you do as long as it fits in your daily goals. Where as a "clean eater" would generally choose chicken breasts, vegetables, fruit, water. Both are fine. You will lose weight as long as you eat at a deficit. I wouldn't recommend eating "dirty" 100% of the time, partly because it would be hard to maintain a deficit, especially if your calorie goal is lower. I think a good rule is 80/20. Eat healthy 80% of the time, but enjoy the things you love. Don't be afraid of "junk" food.

what if you drink non-filtered water, does it then make the rest of the meal "dirty"?

jonnythan · April 2014

no processed foods
whole wheat breads
hard cheeses

These are mutually exclusive.

Whole wheat bread and cheese are prime examples of processed food.

"clean eating", which is no processed foods, lean meats
"dirty eating" is.. fatty meats

Why is lean meat "clean" but fatty meat "dirty"??

What makes a bacon cheeseburger dirty and a chicken breast clean? Does the combination of meat, bread, and veggies somehow make it dirty? If you had these things separately, would they go back to their "clean" state?

Bacon cheeseburger: dirty because its made with high fat meats and probably white processed bread. Chicken breast: clean because it is a low fat meat and eaten without bread. I agree with first quote, keep things in moderation and you will lose weight.

Yeah, someone already mentioned it, but the most important aspect of "clean eating" as it's usually defined is whole, unprocessed foods. No chemicals, no treatments, no preservatives, that kind of thing. It's a really specious concept that doesn't really work in the modern food culture, if you ask me, and there's definitely an anti-progress, anti-technology undercurrent to it? Clean eaters, paleo, all that nonsense.

You're better off minding your macros, I think. I eat "clean" most of the time, but damned if I don't snack dirty.

Bacon cheeseburger: full of artery-clogging fat and grease.

Chicken breast: lean, low-fat protein.

Fat does not clog arteries.

The entire idea that fatty meat is "dirty" while lean meat is "clean" is ridiculous beyond belief and is a fundamental violation of the entire history of humanity.

Bread and cheese are both highly processed foods.

So are lean meats, for that matter.

I guess it depends on what your eating and how you eat it. ;-)

Easy now! Those are fightin' words.

lautour · April 2014

So clean eating is eating a low fat diet? Or eating "non processed" foods? Because I don't see why fatty meat is somehow more "processed" than lean meat, I really don't.

Just labeling a food as "dirty" implies that there's something wrong with it. In my opinion, demonizing any kind of food is just one step away from giving an eating disorder a foothold.

She's a dirty eater

geebusuk · April 2014

. At the root is a way to cut down on process foods and refined sugars, which is always good for helping promote better eating habits.

In my experience if often leads to unnecessary alarmism and unhealthy outcomes.

i dont understand what a "dirty eater" is...??
