Known by
names such as The Body for Life Diet and The Eat Clean Diet, this diet
is extremely popular with bodybuilders. So much so, in fact, that it has
been nicknamed "Bro-Science" by its opponents (Bro-science meaning the
way not-so-bright bodybuilders approach eating).
What
it really is, is a change in eating habits, not just for a short term,
but for the rest of your life, during which you eat six to eight small
meals per day, limit sugars, processed foods and trans-fats, and instead
consume lean protein, complex carbs, grains, legumes, nuts, veggies and
fruit.
