My body can't tolerate bad food anymore! How about you?

I used to have really bad eating habits, including take away at least 3 nights a week. Well I've been eating so well for about a month and a half now, including a cheat meal about once a week. These cheat meals haven't been particularly bad until last night... We ordered pizza and I quite happily ate it, followed by ice cream. Boy does my body hate me for it! I've been up all night with a gurgling sstomache and it's purely the noise keeping me awake lol. I had more immediate effects too if you catch my drift. I find this interesting because although I consumed a lot of calories, I didn't eat until I was completely stuffed and feeling so full and sick I couldn't move. Despite the bad effects, it makes me happy Coz I feel it means my body is taking on positive changes from my new lifestyle!


Anyone else have a similar experience?

It's not just 'bad' food. It's all in what your body is used to. After running a borderline keto diet for four months, I felt sick as hell to my stomach last night just from eating a single potato.

lhgalant

yep! it's definitely a good thing to know your body is making those changes. the worst for me was fast food. now if i eat it, it tears my stomach up almost instantly.

I started a water aerobics class this week. I went on Monday and Wednesday and decided that I needed a reward. My favorite restaurant in town offers a salmon and risottto lunch. I went there as my reward. I have been there MANY times before and loved it. This time, however, it was so so so fatty I was ill. They put a "finishing" oil on the salmon (already a fatty fish), and about 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the rice. I could not finish it. Then, like you, I had stomach gurgles the rest of the night and into the next morning. I took Zantac, drank baking soda in water, ate Rolaids. Nothing helped. So I guess that I can no longer eat alot of oil/fat either.

my tolerance to crap food is shrinking, don't know if it's because I'm eating less of it or just getting close to 50

I go out to eat frequently but I always eat within my calories and one day I decided I was going to order a greasy pasta dish that I knew was terrible for me. Big mistake! I was so sick because my body wasn't used to that stuff anymore. Worst part is I was an hour from home going to a NHL hockey game. Let's just say I spent most the time in the bathroom :grumble:

Lesson learned. lol.

It's amazing how the body works. I guess it just gives us more motivation to stay away from bad food. I won't be wanting to go through this again in a hurry!

Same has happened to me, when I want to gorge myself I remember how it affects me physically aside from mentally and it makes it easier to say no

Okay, but pizza isn't bad food!

I have the same issue. I had some cheetos, and not even 30 minutes later I was running to the bathroom! I decided to incorporate chips a bit more into my diet, because I do like chips, but I don't want to run to the bathroom every time I have them. Pizza makes me extraordinarily gassy, and fast food has a tendency to upset my stomach as well. Luckily though, I don't eat it that often anymore, so it's not something I choose to deal with regularly! I'd say despite the icky circumstances, that's a great NSV to notice the foods you used to eat so regularly are now upsetting your body due to your better eating choices!

That happens to a lot of us. I had a taco bell burrito and I was sick for 24 hours.

tammymusic1

You're joking right? This wasn't home made pizza!

darrensurrey

So what you're saying is... keep eating bad food?

rluedtke

Same here. I can't eat anything deep fried anymore.

I had a delicious surf and turf meal last night and the steak was cooked in a buttload of butter. That was followed by a beer and chocolate pairing and I have the worst stomach ache today and a headache. I also feel blah. I don't regret any bit of it, but yeesh. I didn't realize it'd be this bad!

My system is that way with grease, but it is due to my Victoza that I take. If I eat something that has too much grease, I get sick to my stomch. I've been trying to stay away from the fast food type of stuff...but the last 2 weeks I lost that fight, since I was home sick & in no mood too cook. I am back on track now, thankfully & surprisingly I lost weight the 2 weeks I was sick. Hopefully that means I am past my plateau for the meantime.

Actually, since not having touched McD's in about 3 years, whenever I wander past, I think, "What an odd smell!" Before, I am sure it made me want to have something.

I was just thinking about this!! I had that happen the other night when I had a meal out and my stomach beat me up for it all day the next day. Definately a motivator to keep my semi- clean eating habits up!

I know what you mean! Last night I went out to try this locally brewed but kinda world famous beer [Pliny the Younger] and it's about 10% alcohol. They only serve it in 10oz glasses so I had one ad had the hardest time finishing my second, I had to give most of it to my roommate just because my stomach was starting to hurt. I'm not looking forward to having to eat out next weekend on a work trip, but hopefully the breakfast at the hotel won't suck...
