Husband really wanted chinese food really bad for dinner last night.
I am not a huge fan as it always makes me feel sick but about every 6 months we will order it and I forget. Then i eat it and feel awful. It fit into my calories for the day but man I regretted it instantly.

What foods do you regret eating right after you eat them?

    Chinese food for me as well. The high levels of sodium make me feel bloated and gross.

    What does it do to you? I have a friend who is allergic to MSG and feels awful after eating chinese--maybe that's your problem??

    Ice cream. I'm lactose intolerant so it'll always make me feel icky but it's so gooooooood!

    my husband has a bad time with MSG as well. He gets a rash on his cheeks and temple and feels bloated and poisoned.

    We always request NO MSG! It makes a big difference for him. I thought it was all in his head but I've learned it's real.

    Sweet foods are my downfall! Cake, cookies, chocolate, ice cream...anything really. I just can't help myself around it :blushing:

    Chinese is one for me also, as is Garlic Bread and anything fried.
    We go to a Seafood restaurant every Friday night and I usually get Broiled Shrimp. But every now and then I decide to get Fried Clam Strips, I just love them!, and after words I always feel so sick :(

    Yep, Chinese is the worst for me as well. The place I go doesn't use MSG either. Even just having the "Chicken & Broccoli" with a bit of chicken fried rice makes me feel crappy. I don't know what they do to it, but after this last time we swore off Chinese. All this healthy eating makes a lot of things that we used to enjoy taste terrible now. :(

    Also, most fried things do it to me now as well. Fast food too!

    Oddly enough, I probably eat the healthiest foods when I go to Chinese, but I go to a buffet and get 90% vegetables.

    If I had to pick, I'd probably say pizza gives me the worst "I shouldn't have had that" feeling. A close second is just a regular soda.

    It's probably the MSG. In general greasy food makes me feel awful, I don't generally eat greasy food so I think my stomach is like "WTH is this! Get it out now!"

    I can't have caffeine either. I have a stomach ulcer and caffeine makes me curl into a ball on the floor.

    I have to laugh that chinese food makes so many people feel bad yet every once in a while, we all eat it. lol

    Another vote here for Chinese food. Never used to be a problem but now that I'm all healthy I feel really crappy after I eat it! Still have it every once in a great while though, lol

    Everytime I eat greasy food I get all this phlegm in my throat and cough and have to constantly clear my throat.
    So for the most part I just try to avoid it.

    Greasy foods were never really my issue though.
    It's more breads and chocolate.
