I lived my whole life with acid reflux disease anything greasy oily or fried would leave me feeling sick for the rest of the digestion period after I've eaten it but even that I could eat fast food everyday and not have a problem until one day I ate something greasy and felt so bad I passed out from the pain I decided no more I'm going to eat healthy from now onward

I did for a long time I ate good foods but I find myself eating still enough to lose weight but I'll eat fast foods every so often now when I do so my stomach is so much smaller the portions which make me sick are getting smaller and smaller and it scares me a bit what if when I'm at a normal body weight again I wont be able to eat enough?

I don't know really in any case I still love pizza fries and burgers.. but I just can't eat much anymore

The fact is, if you take any food out of your diet (and this is not limited to refined or processed foods), it will cause issues when you re-introduce it again. It is probably easy to convince oneself that it is because the food is intrinsically 'bad' that you get issues when you eat it again, but the fact is, this could happen with even something like fruit or vegetables (people often get issues if they start eating those having had a diet of mostly processed foods).

It has nothing to do with what our bodies were or were not naturally designed for either, there is this thing called evolution. We are not living the lifestyles of our ancestors, we are not roaming free, hunting and gathering our own food, and imo, it is rather silly to think modern man should be striving to live that way. It is perfectly possible to practise moderation and limit certain foods, without cutting them out entirely, and to remain healthy.

That is pure hogwash. Doctors all the time advise elimination diets to see if people have any food allergies.

And your statement has nothing at all to do with the Op's original post, as it is clear from this "I never had any sort of stomach issues when I was eating food like that all the time! I would eat a full 10 inch pizza to myself and not have any issues." , that it is highly unlikely to be a food allergy issue...also there is a difference between food allergy and food intolerance, a true food allergy, such as that of nuts, results in anaphylactic shock. Maybe you need to do some research yourself before calling someone else's words 'hogwash'.

So, it may be worth it to look into celiac disease. It isn't a food allergy -- it's an autoimmune disorder. Both my mother and my aunt have it (although I do not, as far as I know), and both were advised by a doctor to try to cut out gluten entirely for 3-4 weeks and then reintroduce it with as few other diet changes as possible. Even though neither one of them had experienced obvious symptoms before besides general, mild indigestion issues (although it's possible to experience no symptoms at all), they both exhibited obvious signs of celiac disease after the reintroduction of gluten.

Taking a break from (and subsequently reintroducing) certain foods is an incredibly valid method of testing for food intolerance issues. A quick Google search or a discussion with your doctor will tell you as much.
