Under Clean Eating ( English : Pure / clean food) refers to a diet based on the idea that the consumption of wholemeal products and avoiding industrially processed foods have a positive effect on health.

background

The term and concept can be traced back to the British cookery authors Ella Mills, Natasha Corret and the Hemsley sisters, with Mils and Hemsley distancing themselves from the concept of critical reception in the media. Since the second half of the 2010s, clean eating has experienced a certain spread as a lifestyle diet. There is no binding list of ingredients, but typical are fresh vegetables , nuts, rice, but also hummus or yoghurt , often in organic quality. Flavor enhancers , preservatives , colorings and refined sugars are typically avoided. Some variants of clean eating include avoiding gluten , grains and dairy products and recommend consuming raw vegetables . The dishes are mostly vegetarian or vegan (“plant based”), but in some restaurants you can also order meat or fish.

Bowl food

A typical in the trend gastronomy dosage form for Clean Eating is the Bowl (English: bowl), with a "carrier composition" as of quinoa is filled, brown rice or pureed fruit and the fact equipped with a colorful mixture of chopped vegetables and sometimes fish. Clean eating follows a trend of serving food in small bowls, which is known as bowl food .

criticism

The idea has been criticized for lack of scientific evidence to back up its health claims. In extreme implementation as a form of nutrition, it could also lead to health risks if complete food groups are excluded. For example, there is a risk of developing osteoporosis due to calcium deficiency if dairy products are completely avoided. The diet received critical acclaim in the BBC documentary Clean Eating - The Dirty Truth from 2017.

The British chef and author Anthony Warner compares clean eating with religious extremism , which only allows pure food for good people and defines deviant diets and their consumers as dirty and unclean. Psychiatrists point out the danger for mentally unstable people to develop a disorder such as orthorexia nervosa from the increasingly restrictive pursuit of a healthy diet .
