Has anyone else felt sick after eating unhealthy foods?

We've been eating almost 100% clean here too for about the last two months. I've not deviated, but I know that hubby has tried to eat a few "normal" things every once in a blue moon while at work and seriously regretted it afterwards....he said it was like instant nausea and heartburn. He's started turning down food offers just because he doesn't want to feel like crap afterwards. Now we are too afraid to even attempt to eat out.......instead we spend the money that we would have spent at the restaurant to buy fancy ingredients and make our own fancy meals and desserts...and eat them "al dente" on the patio. I don't think I could bring myself to eat something not "clean" now....simply for fear of the physical consequences.

I have had this happen to me because my body wasn't used to it anymore. I have also discovered that certain foods taste better "in memory" than they do in real life. So not worth the waste of calories.

in a word.....NOPE!

Yup - every time I go astray I get a bad stomach ache... That being said, I did find few restaurants which make food that really agrees with me - so I do go out about once a week and have a nice (calorie heavy) dinner, because I enjoy the experience

*glances at nutella mug cake*

Nope.

So I've been pretty consistent with eating clean and healthy foods for a number of weeks now, I do allow myself "unhealthy" foods once a week or every two weeks. I find that I feel pretty sick after eating highly processed or sugary foods. Has anyone else found this after long stretches of eating primarily healthy foods?

Probably no different than someone who hasn't had alcohol for awhile or someone who trains too hard when starting/restarting over after a good time off. My point is the body adapts to whatever it's being consistently exposed to for a period of time and thrown off when something "new" happens.

It's a common reaction to eating a type of food you've not had in a long time. Has nothing to do with being 'healthy' or not.

This.

Oh yeah. Feel like I swallowed a brick. This does work well though. I try what I get a get a craving for, then later remember why I don't eat it anymore. Had a cheese burger about 6 weeks ago. Still remember that enough not to have tried another one.

I ate 1/4 of it, and about 5 shoestring fries. Finished the scraped patty for the proteins

Are cheeseburgers unhealthy?


Whelp, I'm screwed.

I feel most well-being after candy...

Same here

Only if I eat too much of the overly fatty/sugary/whatever foods, then I feel completely gross and like I swallowed a brick of lard

Anything excessively sweet, especially if I eat too much. Doesn't stop me from eating it, though I try to limit how much I eat it. Surprisingly not so much fried foods, though I did pass on the french fries and fried crab sticks today at lunch because they just made me feel gross just thinking of eating them.

Yep.

I'm far from a 'clean' eater, but I have noticed that with some things I just don't enjoy them as much as I used to. For instance, a few weeks ago I had potato crisps for the first time in ages. Just didn't taste nice.

As for feeling sick...a lot of fast food tends to do that to me now. The worst culprit seems to be anything from McDonald's that has red meat. Which is rather odd, because I eat a fair bit of beef and lamb in my day-to-day life. At first I wrote it off as a one-time thing with a dodgy patty, but no...apparently my body doesn't want me to enjoy a double cheeseburger and would rather throw a hissy fit instead. Sigh.

Oh, and fries. Fries frequently cause nasty bloating and leave me with an uncomfortable greasy feeling. Although I'm not sure if that's a new thing or just something I haven't paid attention to until now. They're one of those things you just eat because they're there and not because you actually like them all that much. That's the case with me, anyway.

Funny how it never happens with carrots eh? :huh:

That just proves that "clean eating" makes you weak.

Do you also believe that a high alcohol tolerance somehow makes you "stronger"? :huh:
