When Clean Eating Made Me Sick

I had seven different smoothie recipes saved in my phone. Each one calculated for maximum fiber, minimum sugar, perfect macros. I knew exactly how many grams of chia seeds would move things along. The irony wasn't lost on me—I'd become so obsessed with eating 'right' that my body forgot how to work. Constipation became my constant companion, right alongside my food scale and macro tracker. Every morning, I'd blend spinach and flaxseed, convincing myself this was health. Really, it was control wearing a wellness mask. I measured tablespoons of almond butter like they held the secret to being enough. My digestive system was crying for help, but I only heard the voice telling me to optimize harder. The smoothies weren't fixing anything—they were just another way to avoid listening to what my body actually needed. #CleanEatingTrap #BodyTrust #FoodControl #Health #Diet
