My body doesn't like McDonald's anymore
 

I was just wondering if anyone has had this sort of thing happen: This weekend, for the first time in a long while, I totally had crap for dinner. A burger and fries for dinner from McDonalds. Well, I paid for it. Immediately after I ate it, it felt like a rock in my stomach and then the next day, I was in the bathroom like all day. I used to be able to eat that kind of stuff all the time. But I realized that my body actually feels better when I'm eating "lite." I was just wondering if I'm weird or if crappy food makes anyone else sick now.

I totally know what you mean! Last weekend I ate some small chocolate chip cookies, some ice cream and some M&M's. Normally that would be fine, but this time I got a real stomach ache that had me tossing and turning all night. My body really craves the good food now! That's cool in a way! :)

Definitely, the extra fat in fast food really doesn't agree with me anymore. I'd rather have a home made burger with lots of salad, or homemade pizza. Mmmmm. At least you know it's going to be better for you - and it tastes better too.

Hope you're feeling better now!! :hug: I can't eat McDs.. That stuff is brutal, Dh had it the other night & got so sick he had to take the night off of work! I don't remember the last time I had it, and it won't be again in this lifetime!! lol!!

That happened to me a couple months ago when my boyfriend brought home pizza. I ate 3 slices and paid for it all night and the next day so I decided no more of that for me, nuh uh.

Definitely, the only fast food place I can go anymore is Subway. I tried to eat a restaurant hamburger a while and I thought that was going to be then end of me, I was ill for 3 days.

I ♥ Subway :D. I usually get that "treat" once or twice a month and I get turkey or chicken on wheat with all the veggies, no cheese and no sauces or dressings :D

I'm a college student,wife, farmer, etc..etc..etc... Doing my Nursing Pre-Requisites. Subway is on the way to the college along with every other kind of fast food restaurant (read the places I used to eat). Often I have to eat on the run so subway it is, especially during normal semesters, like starting in August. I will probably end up at subway at least once a week when Im running late, have study groups, just dont have time to cook.

yeah, subway is a great alternative. I love them. I'd rather starve next time than eat McDonalds

I have a very low threshold for sweets and greasy food these days. I had a pretty big cup cake on my friends birthday a couple weeks ago and felt like puking an hour later.

The last ime I had pizza I was in the bathroom all day the next day.


Awful.

it just proves that the way we are eating now is so much healthier and better for us.

Definitely...it just tastes like a salt and grease bomb now, can't stand it, and I used to practically live on the stuff. Now, I rarely eat any white carbs and eat low sodium, always, so if I eat something like a hamburger bun or tortillas, or pasta, ugh, I've got the carb hangover headache all the next day. I used to get headaches all the time, and thought it was neck pain from my bed being uncomfortable, something like that. Turns out it was the grains/breads that were doing that to me. I'm much happier, eating the way I do now, and wouldn't touch McD's if you paid me, lol. Hope you're feeling better now!

I love Subway, too!
I've never liked fast food, but the other day I was about to KILL someone for a hamburger (NOT a turkey burger, boca burger or chicken burger that I had to make at home), so I had a kids meal with oranges and a hamburger from wendys. I was hungry like an hour later!!! It really wasn't that satisfying.

That's a great point. Its just not that satisfying. I know that I can spend my calories on much more filling, satisfying, and yes better tasting foods at home.

I haven't been able to eat mcdonlads since college like 20 years ago. It started making me sick back then.

Am I the only one who, despite eating almost exclusively whole foods, can still put away a giant greasy meal far too easily?
I feel like my body missed the memo that it was supposed to develop an intolerance to unhealthy food!

LOL mariarose :D :hug:

I hate to be yuck but while a bit tmi if I ever have any issues going a trip to Mcdonalds is sure to get the processes moving.
