I want to share with you all my results of an experiment I did to myself these last 2 weeks 🤪
On one day only each week I ate a full block of 120g chocolate, a bag of lollies and had one bowl of flavoured icecream with macadamia nuts. All these items were foods I once craved before I started my weighloss journey.
The results?
1. I actually found no pleasure during or after eating them.
2. Immediately caused painful digestion once eaten.
3. Extreme drowsiness and heavy sleep within an hour of eating. Slept 2 solid hours until better.
4. Puffy eyes and bags under eyes.
5. Hot flushes for 24 hours ( I'm in peri menopausal stage and have had no hot flushes for almost 4 months!) so this was most frustrating and uncomfortable especially in this hot weather.
6. Insomnia and restless sleep all night!
7. Headaches
8. Burning sensation on the tops of my feet.
9. Blew over my daily calories limit on these food items alone!!
10. Dry mouth and very thirsty.
11. Still felt hungry and not satisfied after eating those items. My poor tummy grumbled all night, I was starving.
All in all, I'm glad I tried this experiment. I don't miss, crave or desire to eat chocolate, lollies or icecream. In fact, I realised whenever I was tired all I wanted was something ready made; cold and/or crunchy. Ice cubes with a shot of coffee did the job and also making sure to stop my "being busy" to put me first by making healthy meals to eat at the regular time each day. lollies gave me no zing either.😉
Praise God I'm free from cravings. 😇
Staying firm on my healthy eating journey will be full-time and ongoing. I'm satisfied with my decision xxx🥰

This is super interesting! It's bizarre what we can get used to when we do things all the time without realising what we're doing to ourseleves. Well done, getting passed this cravings puts you in a powerful position. So impressive 👏

Love it hopefully 🤞 it will turn you off completely from junk bingeing
Personally the more I deny myself the more I crave so I found small treat now and then keeps my cravings on track

Trees laugh, I totally understand. I experienced the same for sweet and salty snacks. Last week I cracked and got some doritos. Well, it felt like salt burn, and the following day I had the trots. It's not called junk food for nothing. It's total rubbish.

I can totally rely on the effects these industrial food have on our bodies. I also don't experience any satisfaction in eating it, but still, my bloody cravings don't go away 😒 I hope you will be way more successful than me 🤞
