So technically today is my day off and I can eat whatever I’ve craved all week, which wasn’t anything more than I had all week anyways. I’ve been wondering how much my disdain for refined foods has actually been engrained in myself and my body. So I decided to eat a regular meal that most people are eating for a “fast” fix. Needless to say it wasn’t a pleasant experience, just looking at the food I could tell it more than likely wasn’t real chicken. I did avoid having pop but instead just ate the sandwich and some fries.
I wasn’t sure how my body would accept this, but I’m happy to say that my body very much rejected the food. I’m sure this is not a surprise due to the way I’ve been eating, but it was a good reminder of the way refined foods can make you feel.
So I guess I passed this little test but in a way I feel like I failed for even eating that food. The nice thing was is that I had to convince myself to do it, it’s not something I just did as if it were a habit.
I have no scientific material to back me up but I think the crappy feeling people get from fast food meals is because of the amount of fried oil and oil in the sauces. It’s like sludge in the engine. Take away the oil it’s really just bread, pototoes (fries) and meat, none of which I found to wreak that much havoc. I don’t know, that’s just from my experience.
