When You Eat Crap Do You Feel Crappy The Next Day

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.0

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 not0 -
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.0 -
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.0
-
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.0
-
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....0
-
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.0

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:0

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.0

Nope.0

That was me Monday. Got talked into taking the kids to CiCis pizza. Boy did I regret that cuz I way overate. My stomach was not happy with me and I ran a lot longer on Tuesday :laugh:0 -
I have a strict rule - never eat anything from the toilet.0
-
Yes, but I feel crappy shortly after. That's why I avoid junk food at all possible costs.0
-
Yes. Particularly white sugar (I can eat the unrefined no problem).0

This! I don't get the eaters remorse, but my body almost instantly wants to go to hybernation mode. I get lethargic and lose all motivation... I can't stand that feeling!0 -
I eat junk food almost on a daily basis, but if I eat something way out of the ordinary, like 4 pieces of papa john's or something, then the next day I feel BRUISED to the touch all over my body. It's really strange, but I asked my pals on here and a few said they have the same thing. I think it's the sodium, because I generally keep around 2000 mg of sodium per day but I'm not sure.0

Depends on what it is, and how much of it I have.0

I think it's less about the food and more about the lack of water. You have many variables at play here, a.) working out, b.) eating differently and c.) not being hydrated. Hydration is the most telling and most important. I'd even wonder if your sleep is affected by, say, a party.0 -
Most people consider my food choices "crap", so there's that.0 -

I've never eaten crap before. I imagine that feces is full of bacteria and could cause disease, right? Eww!0
