After eating clean for months, I decided to do a cheat meal today, too much carbs, sugar, salt and fat. I've been feeling anxious and sad all day (not guilty because of the calories), but I honestly feel like it affected my mood. I hadn't felt this way when I was eating clean. Lesson learned!
Agreed. I eat in a healthy way almost always. I was reminded again last week why I do so. I was taking my son out for lunch. He was set on going to Five Guys for a burger. After being caught out all day with not much to eat besides my fruit, yogurt and nuts, I was starving, so I opted for their "little burger". I had an almost immediate stomach ache when finished which lasted quite a while. Never again, I told myself! Too much grease to handle.
Well I be honest I know some people who eat terrible and don't show it yet. I am amazed they are not feeling crappy or fat or sick yet. Its very subjective. I have studied this for along time and some people can get away w/ eating crappy their whole lives. NOt many but a few can.
Everything we eat that is absorbed into the bloodstream is broken down into the same simple carbon molecules. Virtually all carbs wind up as the 6-carbon glucose. All protein is broken down into its constituent amino acids, and fats into 2-carbon units from which neutral triglycerides and cholesterol-based molecules are made.

Sorry.
Thanks. And I agree. Science > Anecdotal Evidence. Always has been, always will be.
Yes, you really are what you eat. It has been known for a while now that gut microbiomes are radically different between different populations of humans, and it is very likely due to diet. If you take a sample of the microbiome from say a person living in a village in Africa vs. a Western European, the microbiome profiles will be significantly different, with higher populations of "bad" bacteria (for layman terms) in Western samples. Also, it is now well known that Japanese people are capable of metabolizing porphyrin (which gives alage its red color) BECAUSE Japanese people eat a lot of seaweed in their diets. Normally, only bacteria in the ocean is capable of metabolizing red colored algae. So how did a gene responsible for the enzyme that is capable of breaking down porphyrin get from the ocean into the guts of humans? Gene transfer due to diet.
The gut microbiome has been labeled as an entire organ system that has been overlooked until recently for its significant impact on human health. In fact, there is very strange, yet very intriguing research being done right now that is linking altered gut microbiomes to things like brain diseases. Diets absolutely have a profound impact on your health.
