How is it fair that I eat healthy for a week and feel like utter shit? Tempted to buy a cheesy crust pepperoni pizza from dominos...

Also another 35 applications done today.

Just reminded me, many years ago (around 2010 maybe), I ordered a pizza from dominos. It was awful, tasted weird and tangy.

A few years afterwards, I swear I saw a TV ad for dominos saying "now with real cheese". Turns out they were using cream cheese or something beforehand. Never ordered from them again lol.

Not saying they're bad now ofc lol

I bought one last week as a sort of "last hurrah". Not gonna lie, I inhaled it in one go lol.

I read something that said the longer you e been eating like crap, the longer it takes to start feeling better.

I haven't been eating well since lockdown...

my good diet motivation kinda got crushed when miss seagoon said I wasn't eating well

i was doing calorie reduction, she's more into "health food"

I should get back into it, set up my food cupboard with good food, get out of the habit of snacking

I do the whole gaining and cutting thing during the year. Hardest part for me was making meals that I would eat even when I wasn't trying to eat healthy.

It's such a change.

it's the snacks

my meals are very good, always fresh vegetables, I eat fresh fruit everyday, lean meat, not much cheese at all

( tho I've been having frozen meals when my back is very bad )

it's candy and cookies that get me

processed cheese product, it's a common thing in the US. Aged "real" cheese is very expensive there.

It's good healthy cheap food that has good shelf and fridge stability. It's an excellent choice for people with not much money to spend. It's also very high in protein. iow, it's good food.

I used to buy processed pepper jack cheese to make nachos, it was so yummy and melted very well. I grew up on kraft too. Walnut cheese from Germany is also processed.

I can’t agree. The brief period I was in the US was food hell and their weird orange plastic ‘cheese’ was part of that.

The US has wonderful food, you just have to know where to shop for it. :)

Being 15 at the time I didn’t get much choice in the matter

Oh no, hopefully that’s not discouraging. Maybe there’s an adjustment period? Sugar withdrawal? (is that a thing?). I know that guts can go through some adjustment if diet changes to include more veg and fibre, but it will settle down fairly quickly. It’s just a bit of a shock to the microbiome.

Definitely going to stick to it. The positive mental health impacts have been unbelievable. Once the physical subsides, all will be well hopefully
