Now, when I was growing up, junk food was not so chemically. So, I love that the bad ingredients make me avoid junk food or eat less of it. Sometimes, I have to just try to make my own. I love muffins, donuts and cupcakes, but people make them sooo sweet these days that it ruins the enjoyment. Fortunately, I don't like overly sweet things either. So, if the junk food is made of bad ingredients, I really can only eat a little bit. It was hard to find hot dog buns without phosphates. I finally found one brand without them but it was hard. ![]() (For Memorial Day, I looked so hard for Sour Cream and Onion potato chips for without MSG and maltodextrin, which I really don't like. I really cannot stand the taste of processed and chemically laden foods. I think decadent foods taste good, particularly when made from whole and natural ingredients. (And then go figure out how to replicate it at home.) The other side of this is that if I do go out to eat and I'm going to spend a lot of calories on the meal? It better be damn good food, and I will enjoy every bite. I am a really good cook, I do a lot of prep work and meal planning to make it easier on myself, and so I can go home and have something just as good and just as fast that won't be nearly as expensive calorie-wise. And, well, have you ever looked at something either in a store or online, and then drawn back and said, "Not for that price! I don't like it THAT many dollars worth!" That's really where I am with fast food. They feel weird in my mouth.Īnd this is from someone who has a container of bacon drippings next to the schmaltz and uses real butter and heavy cream, so I'm not a "fat is evil" person.įor me it's not that fast food tastes bad, but I do count calories. It's too salty, and I don't like the fats they use. I think this thing affects some people more than others ^ Seeing this ice cream surrounded in this fat jelloish yellow goo, made me stop eating store-bought ice cream all together because I was aware of all the fat and sugars it had inside, it didn't matter if it tasted delicious :(. When I opened up one I noticed all the fats and preservatives separated from the "water" parts of it, since they were kind of emulsionated together in the process of making ice cream and when it melted the fat and the water separated as per usual. I had this kind of problem before starting to diet too, there was this brand of ice cream we bought and one day we forgot to put them in the freezer so they melted a little and then we shoved them in as soon as we noticed. Now that I am very focused on healthy eating, when I eat a cheeseburger it "feels" yucky because I picture in my head all of the fats, preservatives, refined carbs etc and it triggers my "I have to spit this out" reflex, not because my taste buds tell me it tastes bad but because my brain rejects it.
