When You Eat Crap Do You Feel Crappy The Next Day

in Getting Started
I've been noticing this a lot. I do an aggressive workout, I push my body hard, and I keep track of my progress weekly to make sure I keep growing and keep succeeding.

What I've noticed is the one or two weeks when I go off my usual eating. Usually I'm a green vegetable, lean protein, occasional pasta and bread type person, probably 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat on average, I drink 1 to 2 gallons of water a day. . Sometimes, after like let's say, a party. Where I won't necessarily eat over my calories, but, instead of water, I'll have a can or two of soda. Instead of lean protein, I'll have a good deal of fat and "crap" (for lack of a better word)--pizza, dips, refined carbs like chips, and more.

The next day or two of workouts, I'm completely sluggish. Where I might do 100 push-ups, I'll do 65 push-ups, I'll be drenched in sweat even more, and exhausted instead of revitalized.

Anyone else notice this?

    I have been eating healthy for almost three weeks. I have given up alcohol and nicotine during this time. I have been feeling really good and then Sunday I ate some Taco Bell. Sunday night I felt really bloated and sluggish....Monday I was pretty nauseated and had stomach issues.

    When I eat crappy, I feel crappy almost instantly. It is like my body knows that junk is not good.

    Then I have "Eater's Remorse"!!

    Yeah me too. When I eat fried foods in particular (because I tend to stay away from them) I feel like utter garbage right after. For example, last sunday, I had schniztel for dinner--and then couldn't move off the couch all night. Was it worth it? Yes. Did my tummy hurt for next litle while, yes. Haha do I do it all time, absoultely not

    Yes and no. For me it depends on how much I eat.

    I allow myself some "unhealthy" choices now and then. When I do, I have small portions. So if I go to taco bell I just get 1-2 tacos only.

    If I overeat the unhealthy food then yes.. I feel like crap for that day and sometimes the next.

    I definitely notice this for me too. I don't always notice it in my workouts but I definitely notice it in how I feel overall and in how my clothes fit. You think we'd learn our lesson and stop eating junk - but the cycle continues ;)

    I don't get "eater's remorse" usually, I'm fine with eating crap sometimes but I do notice if I overload on the sweet stuff(and I don't mean fruit) I feel like crap the next day, it feels like a hangover.

    Yes, but for something's more than others. I can do pizza okay, but lots of sugar messes with me and gives me a hangover like headache. After a weekend of low fiber high sodium, like if i go on a trip, I feel pretty cruddy and bloated. It's weird. I'm actually more careful about what I eat for the sake of how by makes me feel than for the calories.

    Always, within a few hours my stomach is rolling and then I am sick - just not worth it!! I think when your body gets used to eating clean, it definitely does not like to process high fat. My son actually throws-up from greasy food now....

    yes..sugar and processed carbs will do it to me every time.so the other weekend when we went out for dinner with a bunch of friends I ordered chicken breast covered in bacon and mozz cheese..and wild rice for the side..it was really good and I didnt get the carb hangover I usually will get from fries.My friends are like,"how can you eat that and be losing weight?" well,,cause I dont eat it every day,thats how.

    I eat "crap" on the weekends and feel awesome about it, but I also realize not everyone is a pro at making poor food choices like I am. :bigsmile:

    Depends...cookies, cakes, nah. I'm fine. Deep fried foods make me absolutely ill, though. I love onion rings. I mean, I LOVE THEM!! They are so cruel to me though. They don't return the love.

    Yes, but I feel crappy shortly after. That's why I avoid junk food at all possible costs.

    Yes. Particularly white sugar (I can eat the unrefined no problem).
