Eating Clean: Is It a Useful Idea or Just a Popular Fad? Eating Clean and Clean Eating keep popping up everywhere these days. It’s promoted as the healthy answer to dieting, but is it really? Every year we go through the same challenges and every year we wonder why in December we step on the scale and we're five, ten, fifteen pounds heavier than at the beginning of the year. When January comes, we make resolutions. I'll go on a diet this year. I'll lose weight and get healthy. And every year, we go through the same patterns, usually by the end of January we're back to our old habits again.
We eat and drink whatever we want and then when we suddenly weigh a lot more we wonder what happened.
