How does your body react to unhealthy food?
Replies
-
that sucks.I don't have a gallbladder so any calorically dense food with lots of fat, whether it's an avocado or a cheeseburger, leaves me running and praying.
my mom doesnt have one either and she is prone to diabetes.
probably one of the worst combos
Huh, I am diabetic as well.... gestational diabetes that decided to hang around.
Running and praying is preferable to hyperglycemia, IMO.
-_-
I am sorry to hear that.
Thanks. Once I shed my fat suit I am hoping the diabetes will be under control as well0 -
I wouldn't go as far as calling a specific food unhealthy since there is nutritional value in all foods. However, Ive noticed that my body rejects foods that are high in grease (like lays potato chips) and at times eggs (every since I became a vegetarian). So, what I learnt from this: never give up sugar since I do not want my body to reject sugary foods. It already rejects oreos :-(0

mcdonalds is unhealthy. chemicals, preservatives to allow it to survive through nuclear war, etc.I have no idea what anyone here is talking about, food being unhealthy.
When I eat "unhealthy" food. My energy levels in the gym shoot up and I can lift more weight. Why?
Its calorie dense.
Most of you think that burgers and pizza is unhealthy?
lol ok
Highly processed food is unhealthy. A big mac is unhealthy, a burger with quality ingredients; whilst heavy on the calories, isn't..
But to answer the original post, I eat pretty clean and when I don't I feel like crap. I've had 2 days in the last 4 months when I ate lots of fat and salt (sugar has never been my poison) and I won't do it again.
Preservatives are fine but mcdonalds is ridiculous
either way your body wont know the difference,
maybe the macronutrient composition will be different and then affect you.
due to the macros composition
I asked about burgers and pizza
if you make your own burger at home. tell me what is unhealthy about it
That's completely wrong I'm afraid and has been debunked for a while now. Feel free to read this excellent article about how all burgers (the size and shape of a mcdonalds) can survive a nuclear war.

There is no such thing as unhealthy food - all food is good in moderation. :bigsmile:
If you eat a low fat diet and then eat a high fat food your body could react as it is not use to the fat. Also you should never underestimate the power of the mind - telling yourself something is unhealthy can cause your body to have a physical reaction - well documented in the placebo effect.0 -
Unhealthy food doesn't contain the nutrients our body demands to live healthy. Conseqeuntly, you may feel ill and lack the energy you need to complete your tasks daily. Unhealthy food contains large amount of suger & it can also demage your liver and heart.
So what happens if you eat "good" food all day, get the nutrients you require, then eat some "unhealthy" food?0 -

You split, via mitosis, into a healthy you and unhealthy you. Duh.0 -

Foods high in carcinogen, nitrates, heavy metals, transfat, and various chemicals are unhealthy.
there is no such thing as moderation of any of those. There is nothing good that comes from those products.
It isnt protein, it isnt calories, it isnt a NUTRIENT at all. it is ****.
If you can tell me the positive physiological functions of all that I listed I will be amazed.
There is something called unhealthy.
stop being one sided with the whole healthy vs non healthy.
there are foods that are micronutrient dense, less processed and more filling
you have food that isnt micronutrient dense, caloric dense, and less filling
both which are fine
then you have food that just has a bunch of heavy metals, carcinogens, and nitrates.0 -

And sushi? Caesar salad? Ugh.0 -

There is still food that can be considered unhealthy by having too many heavy metals.
I didnt target specific food, There is a such thing
Tuna is losing its value in the educated fitness community due to mercury amounts.
We all seen the protein shake scare.
consuming muscle milk on top of other forms of foods for protein is not a smart idea.
The fact is there is such thing as unhealthy. Foods that do contain ridiculous forms of additives, preservatives, and other various chemicals.
There is a price to pay. There are things that will help negate the heavy metal intake and anti-oxidants.
The thing is, with cancer we have very little to fall back on in regards to the multi-hit theory. This covers multiple forms of inflammations and substances in our body that can cause the cells to mutate and multiple.
There is a line to draw. I eat my fast food, I eat my chik fil a, taco bell etc.
BTW alot of places are using that .5g for trans fat bs so it becomes undetectable
I found that out when someone pointed it out to me. I was eating a snickers0 -

You're pretty much defining "unhealthy" as "poisoned." And I agree with that. Food that contains substances that are dangerous, such as heavy metals and known carcinogens, are unhealthy.
That's fine. Those are unhealthy, sure. However, pretty much no one uses that definition of "unhealthy." When people in this thread say unhealthy, they are talking about things they think of as junk food, like McD's burgers and Pop-Tarts.0 -
Do you eat steak? Spinach? Celery? Fish? They all have or may contain these.
Fish will vary from location to location and farm vs wild.
I dont eat spinach often anymore.
Steak I try to buy grass fed for the sake of the animal.
I also pay attention to the protein companies that I buy from for the very same reason.
I always preach moderation but there is a line to say if food is complete ****.0 -

Even then in that case if the food is poisoned then it is unhealthy.
I am talking about moderation again but there is such thing.
At this rate you will only be able to consume 1 can of tuna a week.
and then maybe half a can
eventually I cant eat any of my ****ing ahi tuna sushi.0 -

it is retarded they have to go up to 3 servings to get those quantities to make it look worse than it really is.
I take in 3-4 scoops of protein daily maybe more if i am too lazy to cook.
I am sure they fixed it. after that study came out costco pulled all their **** off the shelves.
Cytosport also did nothing to defend themselves0 -

Highly processed food is unhealthy. A big mac is unhealthy, a burger with quality ingredients; whilst heavy on the calories, isn't..
But to answer the original post, I eat pretty clean and when I don't I feel like crap. I've had 2 days in the last 4 months when I ate lots of fat and salt (sugar has never been my poison) and I won't do it again.
so your saying your body knows the difference between a big mac and a burger that you made at home? I don't really see how ones body can distinguish between the two as it treats them both as calories and energy....
Agreed a calorie is a calorie but my body knows the difference between clean ingredients and highly processed, chemical additives and a bucket of refined sugar. I would not even consider eating garbage like Macca's.0 -
It feels like a hangover.
Sugar is the worst.0 -
feels like a cinder block is in my stomach. I get moody, and my body locks up0
-
It really depends.
I was way too far into a deficit on a long bike ride with a friend, and had a chocolate bar on a bread roll. I got my energy back and felt fantastic.
If I eat that same meal on a normal day I will feel like crap.
There is no such thing as unhealthy food. Just unhealthy habits and choices.0 -

Bro, if you've never lived in a food dessert, you just don't know what you are talking about. Yes, if you have healthy options and you don't take them, it comes down to self control and education. But if you don't have options it comes down to what is possible.0 -
Everything is fine in moderation!
People that lack self control should try to avoid temptations!
It's not the foods that make you fat it's the person over indulging!
Kinda like when I'd ask my brother does this make me fat he would reply " it's not the shirt that makes you look fat it's the fat that makes you look fat!" Lmao
" not intended to offend anyone" just being silly :flowerforyou:0 -
Yeah, you're right. People should just avoid being born in the wrong location, wrong skin color, and wrong economic status.
But also maybe, just maybe, we need to start treating substances proven to be harmful and addictive when combined together as if they are harmful and addictive when combined together. Tons of money goes into researching how to get people addicted for profit, but we invest nothing or next to nothing trying to combat it for the purpose of limiting collective risk.
I got fat purely because of my own unwillingness to put in the effort to take care of myself, but it wouldn't be fair of me to assume that it's the case for everyone. I'm extremely grateful that when I did decide to make a change, there was nothing standing in my way but my own inertia.0
