It’s funny, they way I describe the relationship I have with weight loss is exercise is that the exercise is giving you the reason to eat clean. You won’t want to make that effort worth nothing. It’s not the same for everyone but I certainly notice it

Hahaha what?

Sorry, but the term dirty bulking, and the existence of "eat big to get big" videos among the body builder community shows that many in the high end to elite strata of weight training not only just don't eat clean, but they also get their enjoyment and muscle from the absolutely nasty food they eat as part of it (... Yes and roids)

This is my experience as well. Going on a long run if you ate garbage the day before feels terrible, so you get conditioned to eat clean.
