    8 Reasons Why “Eating Clean” Isn’t Getting You Results | MMP Ep. 97

    8 Reasons Why “Eating Clean” Isn’t Getting You Results | MMP Ep. 97

    So first before you all freak out - YES we want to eat 80% whole foods and 20% highly processed/fun foods.

    The type of food you eat will absolutely influence your inflammation levels and provide you with vitamins and minerals that you need.

    HOWEVER - we talk to a lot of women who say they eat “clean” and are stuck.

    They aren’t seeing results so obviously this is something we need to cover.

    So in this episode I unpack the 8 things that are preventing you from getting results despite “eating clean”

    TIMESTAMPS:
    (00:00) - Intro
    (01:08) - Overview of "Eating Clean"
    (02:16) - The 8 reasons eating clean doesn't work for fat loss
    (02:46) - Reason #1 - Are you consistent???
    (08:44) - Reason #2 - You're making this mistake with carbs
    (16:33) - Reason #3 - Digestion issues with too much fiber from whole foods
    (20:10) - Reason #4 - Protein intake
    (23:28) - Reason #5 - Neglecting food pairing & meal timing
    (29:13) - Reason #6 - Food & stress
    (32:13) - Reason #7 - Does your exercise align with your nutrition & goals?
    (37:58) - Reason #8 - Where are your hormone levels?
