    Nope. I feel fine after eating fast food as long as I don't over indulge.

    Yes, and I think it's almost entirely mental.

    I wish it were. I try to eat whole food vegan, but sometimes I'm tempted to eat something my kids make or bring home: pizza, mac & cheese, quesadillas, etc. For some reason, I usually forget that these foods can make me feel like a have a sudden head cold...then, BAM!! There it is, and I say to myself "Well, THAT hasn't gone away again."

    Perhaps, these lousy feelings after eating fast foods are really a slight sensitivity to them.

    After clean eating and not eating fast food for a while and having a cheat meal last week, yeah it made me feel very sluggish. In fact, I didn't even work out afterwards like I orginally planned to do.

    I feel this too. Sluggish, tired, worthless! I crave nutrient rich food after eating anything processed and high in sodium. I try and avoid it as much as possible But this weekend the girls wanted Chinese so I tried to not go massively over board but it still made me feel rubbish.
