Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

Cardboard with cocoa powder. I never purposely tried to make myself sick of them, but by the time I got to the second bar I was pretty uninterested.

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

glad to know they taste like cardboard. I've never had one.

I think the point the mods are trying to make is if you want to do something like this and write about it in your journal that would be one thing but to post it in the mian diet section as if it was a lab experient would give the wrong idea to new to ADB folk about what this place is about and remember too ADBB is one of the bigger boards and the google spiders and other search engines find us so anybody googling the bars or the candy will hit on this topic and as responsible Atkineers and mods of ADBB they want to be sure any new to ADBB. low carber, or Atkins person knows that doing a frankenfood day isn't recommended and why.


So Pinapple you just ate them got disgusted with the taste and are now craving real foods? Can you control those cravings or are the eggs getting scarfed down by the carton? the bloating is the intestinal bacteria digesting those SAs for you and generating some lovely gases and digestable carbohydrates.

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

Ah, now that's a point I didn't think of. I wasn't sure where this sort of post would go. I don't think I'll ever do something like this again, but I'm going to start posting more in the journals now.

Not disgusted, just- I don't think I really like chocolate anymore. I am craving real foods though.

I'm staying true to my word. Only fake food today, so the eggs are going to be breakfast. The bloating disapeared sometime around lunch.

I hope you feel OK in the morning. It's always the day after eating a frankenfood that it messes with my system. Usually my day after is started with a fast jump out of bed to make it to the potty in time. THey just mess with my guts so badly.

I think it's an interesting experiment. It will only tell you how they affect you though, since everyone is so different.

I just hope I can get to the point where I no longer really enjoy chocolate

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

How are you feeling this morning??

I am sorry if I can across harsh in my post, that wasn't my intent. It's just that when you look at your picture and see that you have lost a tremendous amount of weight, and you are 19, you appeal to a LOT of people and you are a role model. Losing that much weight isn't easy and people look up to you for that. I just didn't want a newbie who hasn't read the book, all they know is what they hear...and I didn't want them to think it's okay, that's all. I am soory if I sounded rude Have a great day hun!

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

Thanks js, I know that most of the negative comments were just them concerned about me. I'm heading off to the gym now, I'll be back in an hour or so.

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

I guess I would take all of this with a grain of salt ..when I was 19 I did a lot of stuff that was more dangerous than eating Crapfood for a day and documenting it on a diet board...to see what happened!!!......if this is the biggest risk you take baby girl then I would not be as freaked out as I was with my own kids risky behavior...that is for sure...

most people eat worse than that on a daily basis :P

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

don't those things taste disgusting Pineapple? those bars are so hard to swallow..I remember Nullo calling them "taste like transfatty shiit"...I am not thinking you could do this day after day..and I am pretty confident you will be eating good food again today...eating disordered or not ...if you were eating well the day before yesterday ...you will eat well today....I have faith in that....

or you won't and you will be disgusted with your self and feel like crap fall off the wagone and then you can go to the STAC....either way ..it is your body

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

You can read the results on the first page. It wasn't especially dramatic, but I'm thinking of having eggs again for lunch (I'll spread out the veggies for lunch and dinner instead of having my usual salad).

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

craving eggs wow. yep spread the vegies out so you don't have an uneven blood sugar level for the day.

think of yourself as a great engine running on Atkins you want the fuel mix to be the same all day long and not regualr some time and high teck other times or just like a car you will run rough and knock.

Re: For your viewing pleasure! My experiment

Ugh! reading this reminds me of the time my mother-in-law gave us Russel Stovers Low Carb Easter Candy when we first started Atkins, I didn't know any better and ate it, I was soooo sick! I had it coming out both ends, I would never try an experiment like you did! You must have a strong constitution!
