Today's post is a bit of a different one. It's become a recent trend to be "clean eating" or even a vegan. If you're not eating a yoghurt with granola for breakfast or smoked salmon with avocado and poached egg on toast, who even are you? My answer? Human.
I have always eaten reasonably healthy, I ate my vegetables, I snacked on grapes. But in today's world, that just isn't good enough. I allow myself to have naughty treats without feeling bad about them, if I want bad food, I'm going to have it.
Growing up, I found eating harder, just because I was so picky. When I was out with friends and they wanted to go for a certain food, I'd panic and not say anything and just have a side order. I have definitely gotten better over the years as I have had a few health problems which means being picky would essentially be awful for me. However, as social media is being a huge influence on people's food choices, sometimes I sit and think "Should I really be eating this?" I'm a 20 year old girl, I'm not easily influenced when it comes to social media, but I can't help think of younger teens seeing the Instagrams and just worrying.
Grace, from graciefrancesca.com or as she was called UglyFaceOfBeauty, recently did a documentary with BBC3 on the truth about Clean Eating. I highly recommend watching it as it literally opens your eyes to these so called experts on clean eating. Grace does a really good job at it all too!
^That picture makes me hungry. I don't care?
I know what you may be thinking, "You're a gym instructor!!" Exactly. A gym instructor. Not an nutritionist, I am mainly qualified in fitness. Very little of my course was to do with food.
I would love to go more into depth on this topic.. maybe in the future!
