junk food making me sick

I've noticed that before a little bit with greasy things, but what really stands out for me is how disgustingly sweet some things taste after eating healthier. Like, automatic headache sweet from something you would have eaten on a regular basis before.

I wish this would happen to me.

Interesting post. I stopped shaking salt on my dinner about 3 months ago. Out of habit I shook a little the other day before I stopped myself. I couldn't even eat my dinner I was so turned off by the salt taste. I hat to go and "re-plate" a new dinner for myself.

I have noticed this. Makes me feel icky. And ditto on the sweets. I bought myself a Pepsi a couple of weeks ago because I hadn't had soda in 6 weeks. It was way too sweet. Didn't even finish it.

A couple years ago I cut my salt and sugar intake and my tastebuds adjusted to where things like chips or fries or even sometimes meat seem overly salted. One chocolate bar lasts me months when I used to be able to down 3 whole ones in a day. (I blame my father, he had an enormous sweet tooth despite being a diabetic. Guess what killed him?)

Same goes for fried or greasy, cheap food now. It cramps my stomach and I'm spending half the night on the toilet in agony like I had eaten a bucket of habanero peppers. Makes it a no-brainer to go for the healthier stuff!

Yes! i dont like the feeling but in a way im like yes! i no longer will be eating bad food!

I got sick off pizza too and caffeine. I think breaking my no junk food rule killed my stomach. I feel awful...

Deep fried food, or food cooked in fat makes me feel sick as a dog!! BUT, I don't think I will ever be able to get over the deliciousness of chocolate!!!!

good chocolate isn't processed, so it should be in the same category with healthy food. thank GOD

^^^^^THIS! Good chocolate is delicious, crap chocolate is just that... crap. :laugh:

I'm the same way, especially with the chips. I used to scarf down a whole bag in one sitting. Now I feel ill from eating a lot less, and the taste now puts me off too, actually tasting all the oil in them.

Yep. For me, it's greasy, overly salty and most sweets. Milk chocolate too leaves a nasty after taste. Bleh...

Let me say I've heard this same line from many a dieter a few weeks or months into their diets. And if it really did cause all the nausea and illness that many who have dieted claim, then there shouldn't be a reason that people regain weight back. Unfortunately statistics do show that about 90% of all dieters regain a significant amount of weight back. The main reason................they went back to eating the way they used to.

Hopefully everyone here will be in the 10%.

Yet many people who have had bariatric surgery often 'eat through the pain', even if their trigger foods make them vomit repeatedly. So it's not too surprising that feeling sick and a bad taste in my mouth might not be enough to stop me from trying again sometime. Although I hope I've learned my lesson.

So you removed a food from the system, the population of bacteria in the gut that are good at digesting that material decreases and then you suddenly reintroduce that food to a system that's no longer optimal at digesting that material? Yeah, your body's going to let you know that the current bacterial populations are struggling to digest that food. It happens every time drastic changes are made to the diet.

That's why, unless you plan on NEVER eating that food again, a lot of people promote moderation when eating. That way your body is always ready for whatever foods you normally consume and you don't get nauseous or sick from eating a few chips.
