Has anyone else felt sick after eating unhealthy foods?

I feel perfectly fine when I eat horrible foods.
I actually feel sick when I have to have anything healthy.
That's part of the problem, aha.

I love Peter Piper Pizza, but after about a month or so of not eating out, I had some pizza. I bought a small cheese and pepperoni pizza to share with my nephew. I had 2 slices and later that night, I was nauseous the entire night. I LOVE that pizza, and while I don't eat it all the time, it would be a shame for me if I get sick eating it lol. I have been making my own at home with flat bread, or pita bread, and turkey pepperoni.

Not as much as I should. Had a whole jar of Nutella one night last week. Felt fine.

Not buying any more Nutella though....

I had the worst binge ever this past monday ( yes i am human and every few months like to over indulge with my favorites) but, this particular day i CHOSE to eat ALL of my favorites in one day.....not a good combo. I have never felt so sick . How did i used to eat like that before?? Then woke up with a food binge hangover. Not pretty at all. When i eat anything processed or sugar loaded that is what usually will happen to me since getting healthy.

Usually if i eat something not so great now i will just get a stomach ache for a few hours.

Last weekend it was my son's birthday party and I relaxed and ate cake (lots of cake...), sausage rolls, sweets, crisps.. I didnt go over my calorie goal but the next day I felt lethargic, irritable and wanted to eat everything!! Processed foods are naaaaaat good for me!

No - I feel awesome unless I eat broccoli. It's really the only food I eat that always makes me feel bad. :laugh:

But, what do you consider 'unhealthy'?

Anyone else noticed this post is 15 months old and op hasn't logged on for the last 3 months?

sugary foods coma?? :drinker: :laugh:

When I lived in a less developed country for two years and "ate clean" just because that's what people did, I actually found that my body handled junk like McDonald's better than ever. I attributed it to my body being a well-oiled machine from being so healthy, so an occasional visit to McD's could just be taken in stride.

However, more recently, I went to Dairy Queen. My husband loves his Blizzards, and I had enough calories available for a mini, so I suggested we go. I ended up in so much pain just a bit later and all the way into morning. I can't say for sure that it was the Blizzard-could have been some cauliflower I had for dinner--but I definitely won't be craving DQ anytime soon! (Note: I don't make a point of "eating clean," but I do typically eat pretty healthy.)

Oh yeah, I think it is pretty common to see this after eating well. My hubby even pointed out that we probably both felt sick all the time when we ate processed foods but now we are more aware of it.

ummm no, plenty of people on my friends list eat all kinds of stuff and do not have this problem..so lets not generalize...

IMO this is a mental thing....

Perhaps the difference is if you ever actually stopped consuming something or not for whatever extended period of time.

I certainly know that my physical reaction to certain foods now is most certainly NOT in my head.

I never set out to eliminate anything and am also not ever advocating that other people do. I have no issues with eating "unhealthy" or "junk" foods as proven by the fact that I was quite happy to have them. It was a simple case of having reduced eating certain foods less and less often, as on fewer calories I liked to feel fuller for longer and wanted to get more bang for my buck so to speak which resulted in me eating cleaner. But whenever I return to things that never used to cause problems when I was eating them frequently (deep fried fish in batter, McD, KFC, Indian take-aways etc) whenever I have them now I feel sick afterwards. Simple as. I know myself well enough to know what's effectively psychosomatic and what's not! Often I actually really enjoy eating it in the moment, but it's shortly after that the meal sits in mys stomach like a brick and I end up being sick.

Strikes me that there are a hell of a lot of people on this thread having similar experiences.

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.

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

Really? :huh:

I was just thinking about how many people come here and start loading up on veg and fruit and what not and all of a sudden are complaining of painful gas, constipation, etc. I would agree that it's a pretty common reaction to eating (or drinking) anything you have not had in a long time or have not consumed a lot of. An increase in fiber in the diet for example can lead to all kinds of discomfort initially...but fiber is good for ya right?

People go the majority of their lives eating dairy...then they cut it out or cut back and become rather intolerant of it. Vegetarians who eventually turn back to eating meat and poultry generally have to incorporate those foods slowly to allow the body to re-develop the enzymes necessary to deal with that. It doesn't have anything to do with the nutritional value of the actual food in most cases. Exception being Taco Bell...that **** will just give you the ****s regardless...

there are a hell a lot of people who are not having this experience; my point was, just because "some" people have this issue, does not mean that we can extend it to the whole population.

Some people will die in auto accidents, does it mean that we all will? No...

I don't know where you're going with this argument.

I never claimed it was something that EVERYONE experiences.

I just felt that, being one of those who DOES happen to experience this reaction, the unsubstantiated piece of armchair psychoanalysis "it's all in your mind" is a little patronising. That's all.

It's more a guilty feeling for me than a sick feeling

Agreed.

It's probably more psychosomatic.
