What foods do NOT work for you?

I've been experimenting a little lately, now, I always stay within my calories and I never usually eat back my exercise ones, not because I don't want to, just because I don't feel like eating more!
That being said, I have found that on days I have cheese (and I don't have tons) the next day I am always bloated and heavier, now I can't say if that is why definitely but I was wondering.. do YOU have foods that don't suit you? Do you avoid them or just accept you'll be bloated for a day or two?
I love cheese! I don't eat a lot of it, but I can't imagine never eating it again!

Lol I have actually started a do not eat list. The reason being I know that certain foods encourage me to binge. This is what it is so far:
-Buffalo wild wings (after checking the calorie count online)
-Pepperoni roll ups (homemade from recipe)
-Baked macaroni and cheese0 -
For some reason, Maggi noodles make me really crook and give me a headache.0
-
Bread bloats me so I try not to have too much, I love bread :sad:0
-
Egg yolks, milk and red meat turn my insides out. I have a digestive disorder that limits my ability to process large amounts of fats - especially those associated with animal products. I have to stick to lean chicken and fish and stuff like that to avoid getting sick.0
-
bread and pasta, cannot stand the way it makes me feel. even though it's super yummy.0
-
It's taken YEARS for this to sink in but I've just started realising that eating bad makes me feel bad and eating well makes me feel well. It sounds so simple written down like that but I've been ignoring these signals for a long time!! I agree though - cheese is too good to just give up! Maybe drink a ton of water after having it? It could be the salt in it that is bloating.0

exactly this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ even the love of bread ... but I don't gain when eating it .. I just don't lose, so once at my weight I will eat it again ... 19lbs till bread time0 -
I have learned that I just can't have any kind of granola in the house. It is breakfast crack. I *will* eat the whole box.0
-
Bread and pizza dough really bloat me up. I feel awful the following day if I have it. I am ok with pasta and am ok with whole grain seeded bread as long as not too much.
I don't eat pasta much now either apart from wholemeal pasta. I eat low-ish carb, about 70 - 100g a day and try and get the big majority of that from fresh fruit and veggies (quite easy with fruit!)0 -
I havent noticed anything except soft drinks and things loaded in sugar/salt0
-
Fresh mackerel (smoked is fine)
Scrambled eggs.
Both make me feel sick.0 -
Pizza :sad:
I love it, I lust it, but it makes my insides feel so bloated and pained. I seem to have amnesia when it comes to this though and always remember afterwards when it's too late.
I also love bread, but eating it makes me crave more bread and then sugar, then more bread. It's just no good for me. I try to stick to one wholemeal slice with breakfast but find even this starts the cycle. Sucks!0 -
I avoid grains, legumes, most dairy, sugar and most processed food as a rule. Both on weight management issues and general health grounds.
I feel a lot better when I avoid them and I find that I'm not constantly hungry.0 -
I get sick/migraines from the following:
Aspartame
MSG
Lactose
Large amounts of animal fat.
Other than that, I really shouldn't eat candy because I have no self control with them. I will eat the whole bag.
Bread is fine with me, as long as I don't eat more than two slices.0 -
I have IBS so my do not eat list is massive and even when I don't eat the bad foods I'm still bloated and sloshy as I call it (like when you move you feel like your foods sloshing around in your stomach like water in a bucket) so the short list is
Wheat
Eggs
Oats
Pork
Milk
Cheese
Noodles
Creamy sauces
Alcohol (I'm intolerant)
Beans cos they taste like poo and the texture is very weird
Anything wholemeal
Anything too spicy
Nothing too citrus like oranges, lemon etc.
I think thats it! Some of the things on my list I just eat anyway cos I feel like crap all the time no matter what I eat so I might as well just eat what I want.0 -
I can't eat anything fatty within 2 hours of bedtime. My body seems fine processing it if I'm upright, but it can't cope with it when I lie down. Stomach just churns all night0

Any junk food. I don't know if it's the additives, the carbs, the fat, or what. But I feel like cr*p after I eat it.
Also, bread and pasta. I have known this all my adult life, and I'll go through phases of reducing it but somehow I always let it creep back in... Because I don't have an actual allergy I feel a bit pretentious refusing to eat it. Also, it's SO GOOD - much harder to give up than the junk food which I'm not crazy about anyway.0 -
After years of suffering from IBS the main foods that trigger it are anything from the onion family, any fruit juice and diary especially cream. (Try going out to a restaurant and telling the server that you can't have onion or garlic in your pasta sauce etc.......it's a nightmare!)
Having found out in the last 4 weeks that i'm gluten intolerant I feel a heap better and am losing that sluggish yukky feeling that wheat, etc gives you. I'm wondering if this has been my major problem all along?? :flowerforyou:0 -
Pork is my enemy, mostly because it has so much sodium in it. I bloat up with all the salt and feel gross the next day.0
