Similar for me. I've had hardly any sugar in my diet lately but over Christmas I've had a load and had poor sleep and now got a cold.I ate carbs from last Friday until Christmas Day…and got a cold.
Third cold in 2 years - each time was following a few days of eating carbs.
Other negatives I’ve seen;
Crappy sleep
Mind racing over nonsense and stuff that doesn’t matter, and negative thoughts
Two dry skin patches started on my hands, but greasy skin on my forehead
Getting the sweats just lying in bed
After just the first day, I was thinking about eating all the time - not proper food, but thinking about what crap I had in
Ate until I was uncomfortable without realising it until too late
Woke up with my mouth feeling like it had a waxy film in it
For me, it just isn’t worth it. I didn’t even enjoy it ti be honest, except the roast potatoes…and those were cooked with beef fat that I save from what I cook.
When I say carbs, I’m mostly talking about sugar in this experiment - haven’t had much veg apart from the potatoes. I’ve had bread, biscuits, chocolate and some trifle.
I was planning on doing a full week, but when I woke with a cold yesterday I called it quits, so had six days when I had carbs.
Today, apart from the cold I’m feeling brighter except for a slight headache (I hardly ever get headaches…maybe 1 every 2 or 3 years, and those don’t sound too bad compared to what others seem to get).
With January coming up, I highly recommend to cut out sugar. If you don’t want to go carni, cut out things that obviously have refined sugar in them. Do it for a few weeks then you either won’t want to reintroduce them (I always did through my yoyo dieting years until I cut out fruit and veg aswell), or you will notice the way that sugar effects you.
If you lean towards vegs, do the same thing. It won’t be as stark a lesson though as vegs contain carbs in some form, which metabolise into glucose (as does protein from meat for essential functions only) or fruit into fructose.
Farts of any description are never a problem. They've been a great source of human comedy for 250,000 years, especially in the bath. Cry-baby vegan piss-willies who are so physically and mentally enfeebled they have to be kept alive and carried by the rest of society are a very serious problem. They should either fuel up with real food and do a shift or crawl onto a compost heap and rot down with the rest of the vegetable waste.Cows farting is a problem, vegans farting isn't, apparently
Does whisky count as an ultra-processed food?

I've lost 4kg over about four weeks, gradually and sustainably through cutting out most cereals, potatoes, sweets, crisps, etc. I miss granola but it had to go. I currently eat meat for dinner every day. I alternate bacon & eggs or two pieces of toast with honey, every other day for lunch. A few days a week, peas, broad beans and sweet potatoes. I have a clementine and a banana a day. Breakfast I have fruit & fibre cereal.
I suspect if I up the amount of meat products for my meals, I could cut out the cereal entirely plus the sweet potatoes.
It's been a task to adjust my diet but the slow transition from overweight to not so overweight is pleasing.
Anything marketed as "low fat" invariably has vastly increased levels of sugar and/or artificial sweetners to make up for the absence of fat because fat tastes good. It's doubly counter-productive to eat such products if you want to lose weight. For one thing the increased sugar levels raise your blood sugar which gets converted into body fat so you gain weight; and for another, natural whole fats make you feel fuller for longer so they actually suppress appetite.I was looking at Weight Watchers soups earlier. Something you would expect to be healthy, perhaps isn't.
Ingredients, Tomatoes (60%), Water, Modified Cornflour, Sugar, Salt, Dried Skimmed Milk, Rapeseed Oil, Milk Proteins, Sweetener - Acesulfame Potassium, Acesulfame Potassium, Spice Extracts, Herb Extract, Citric Acid
Not sure why you have sugar AND Acesulfame Potassium
Acesulfame Potassium = is a non-nutritive, artificial sweetener that's more than 200 times sweeter than sugar. It's often used in baked goods, drinks, and candies
You live and learn
There quite a lot of sugar and carbs in there from the bread, honey, sweet potatoes, bananas, clementines and cereal.I've lost 4kg over about four weeks, gradually and sustainably through cutting out most cereals, potatoes, sweets, crisps, etc. I miss granola but it had to go.
