Anyone else feel sick from chocolate after eating clean?

When you stop eating a lot of overly sweet foods, you lose your taste for them. My taste buds are used to dark dark chocolate, so Hershey's just tastes bland and too-sweet to me. I have also found that fruits and some vegetables taste sweeter to me than they used to.
Yeah same here!0 -
So recently i have been eating clean to try drop a few pounds, and all the time i am craving chocolate and sweets as i used to eat loads in the past. So today i gave into my cravings and ate a donut with very thick icing and now feel so sick:( i also have horrible taste in my mouth and have now had it since i ate that, is it because my body has adjusted to eating clean? i don't think i can eat chocolates/cakes again.. is anyone else not like the taste of processed food since eating healthy?
NO it's your bodies way of punishing you for not eating chocolate and donuts...
:laugh: ^this! :laugh:
I think that's good. If you don't want it anymore, then don't. PErsonally, I'm not a cake person but to me, if I have to eat cake, it has to be GOOD cake. Not Costco or BJ's cake but really good cake, preferrably homemade or from really good ingredients, like butter and real buttercream etc. I mostly go for pastires though like pies and million layer crusts like Napoleons. And tarts!0 -
Dark chocolate with coconut is even better than dark chocolate without it. It's a new, healthier form of delicacy.

Dark chocolate with coconut
mmmm I would try that0 -
totally normal!! when your body is not used to something, it tends to react negatively. I don't usually do the whole "clean eating" thing, but if I eat a large quantity of unhealthy food I feel really sick afterwards.0

I get diarrhea from fatty sugary foods after eating healthily for a while. My body adjusts to low fat and low sugar!
That's pretty typical. Following a lower fat intake, then eating more fat will cause stomach problems. The problem is, that doesn't necessarily mean it is bad. Dietary fat is essential.
Similarly, many people experience stomach problems when upping their intake of vegetables as well - certainly not "bad" food but can still cause problems. Eat bland food for awhile and add in something spicy, same thing. It is about a swift change in diet from what your stomach is accustomed to, it is not necessarily an indicator of whether something is good or bad.0 -
When you make rapid changes in diet, you affect the populations of your different gut flora. If you eliminate certain foods, then the populations of bacteria that are good at processing that food will drastically drop off. Then, when you suddenly reintroduce it, your system can't handle it as well because you severely curtailed that type of bacteria, making the process more difficult for your system.
Luckily, those populations are very quick to come back in healthy individuals.0 -

this.
It makes me crazy when people go on a diet/eat clean/go low fat- then have something they haven't had in a month or two- then get violent GI issues- they blame the food and how it's the devil and how horrible it is for you and swear it off for life because it makes them sick.
It didn't make you sick.
YOU made you sick with your food choices.
You're body will adapt to what ever you ask it to do. So of course it's going to have a fit it's like telling someone who is 350 pounds who hasn't ever run to go run a marathon in a week. of course it's not going to end well- what did you expect?0 -

^ This!
OP, "eating clean" will not help you drop a few pounds. Eating at a calorie deficit will.0 -
I will take dark chocolate over a donut anyday0

Same thing happens to me if I accidentally eat pineapple.
That shiz is nasty.0 -

Chocolate isn't "clean", therefore by definition it is evil and will kill you.

I only eat clean chocolate.0

Maybe it just wasn't a very good donut? So-so donuts can be heavy and greasy and seem to sit in my stomach for days.
And while I've cut down on sweets and baked goods, I'm definitely in the 80/20 (and some days more like 50/50!) camp when it comes to healthful/less-healthful-but delicious stuff.0 -
I consider dark chocolate clean, so no...
Definitely this!0 -
Yes, I find that when I eat a chocolate donut or some chocolate cake after downing 4 oz of Windex, I get major stomach cramps and headaches! I have to eat 3 Magic Erasers just to feel clean again!0
-
Chocolate, no...but I did stop drinking soda and I gave in and had a diet soda the other day and boy did it make me feel like crap!0
-
It wasn't the chocolate it was the grease and other stuff from the donut. Maybe the donut itself.
Whenever I have tried to make my diet supertight because of whatever random diet I was on, I did feel sick when I had the forbidden things. Unsure if my body got used to no bread, or no grease, or no fats or I was just having a mind game with myself brought on by scary food literature. The mind is powerful as evidenced by the placebo effect and self fulfilling prophecy. I see no reason why forbidding one's self strictly from a certain food, especially with any kind of rationale wether logical and airtight, or simply scary propaganda and then allowing yourself to eat it should not produce enough emotional response to make one feel sick. Psychosomatically or otherwise.0 -
