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

Right about the time I entered my thirties my digestive tract decided to revolt. I spent several years being sick all the time and a doctor finally helped me discover some food sensitivities. They had been mild when I was young, but became progressively worse as I got older.

Nowadays most of the food I eat is homemade from scratch using the most basic, least processed ingredients I can find, and avoiding the foods that trigger my problems. This keeps my digestion running smoothly and I have no "food hangovers" hours after eating.

Just the smell of McDonald's turns my stomach and I used to eat that stuff as a kid. It's like poison to me now. I guess it would be a good way to get the bowels moving, though. (TMI) :sick:

This topic is really interesting - before joining my fitness pal I managed to shift 32lbs and then I hit a plateau; my motivation to try a different approach!

I used to eat alot of deep fried foods, pizza and McD's but in order to lose weight I decided to make some life changing decisions. One was to cut out meat. So far I have gone 6 months without and feel so much better. I have replaced meat with Quorn and Soya and now have a really varied and much tastier diet than before.

So during the week, I had this urge for a pizza. It had been a difficult day at work and my willpower was low. I checked the packaging for calories and fat and worked out that as I had enough calories left in my plan I'd treat myself. Although the fat would take me way over - oh well!

Got home,all excited, popped it in the oven. It used to be my favourite brand was I was sooooooo excited; the smell coming from the oven was amazing.

14 minutes later I sat down to my treat.

It was the biggest disappointment .I gave 75% to the bin.
What a total waste of money; my body was complaining at me; I felt ill and during the night I had dreadful wind.

I have learnt a great lesson; hang around outside a pizza store to get your fix of the smell and then go home for some real food!

Its not only my body shape that has changed in the last 6 months; I have a new found respect for the sensitivity of my body to different foods, and now understand what it needs and when. I am totally in awe at how incredible the human body is and am now even more determined to treat it with more respect than ever.

Okay, but pizza isn't bad food!

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

Since when did home made pizza become the standard...........pretty nasty tasting so far in my travels.........wood oven from someone who knows how to make pizza or go home.......:flowerforyou:

I statred eating alot of veggies since last year. But still ate alot of fast foods, but recently I have no desire atall for them, infact last week for lunch we went to a fried chicken shop but I felt sick the whoke time, I just didn't want to eat it, so I ended up ordering a fried chicken breast, and tried to eat the meat and not the batter, and had a few french fries. Usually, the old me, 30lbs ago, lol, I would have ordered the biggest burger, large fries and large coke and downed it all and felt sick and gressy. But now, I actually can't stand it.

Ahhh I'm in there with you! I can't drink Coke, can't eat deep fried chips, or anything deepfried and oozing oil :sick: Well... I probably could, but hello sickness!

had KFC last night, wasnt that my body couldnt tolerate it, just more like i didnt like the flavour any more. would rather something like nandos or oporto (portuguese grilled chicken fast food)

I have really bad IBS and I get more stomach pain from "healthy" food than I do from "bad" food...

I am the same way... I have gastroparesis which was first diagnosed as IBS. I have a whole list of "good" foods I have to avoid unless I want to be ill. Fiber is a severe irritant so I have to keep that pretty low as well as fat. "Bad" foods are easier to digest.

My body isn't a fan! I feel like since I've been limiting my carbs more lately (not low carb, just not super carb heavy like I used to eat) I'm especially sensitive to changes in carb intake. I've had a LOT of carbs in the past few days and I am feeling disgusting. My body is craving fruit and vegetables and protein!

I'm a little worried about how my body will react when I eat fried food at the state fair later this week. In general my body doesn't like excessive amounts of grease and fat, but I'm hoping it's worth it. I mean...I'm pretty sure it will be because, hello fried mac and cheese!

Amazing. I thought I was the only one with this problem.
I am on week 9 of eating good foods, small portions, etc, etc.
A friend took me to lunch Friday.....uh oh.
I had a California Eggs Benedict. Only ate 3/4 of it.
And at her insistence 3 or 4 bites of a Chocolate Eclair.
Beyond rich.
15 min later in the middle of a furniture store...panic attack...
Where is the restroom ?
Won't do that again. Terrible.

For starters... carbs and sodium, then there is the high amount of fat from the cheese, which isn't counting the other fats from any additional meat toppings... Not the most unhealthy, but not a good choice as a "typical" meal.

That doesn't make the food bad. That makes it more likely for someone to shove too much of it into their face. It's calorically and nutritionally dense, not "bad".

Chicken wings are very similar, just without the carbs, due to their higher fat content. Wings are bad, eh?

If pizza and wings are bad, then I don't wanna be good.

But yeah, for sure, my body reacts differently to heavier meals now, especially those with a higher fat content. But I also get full faster, so I am a cheap date!
