dietry shift!

[turkey154]

can a radical change in diet affect your body..i.e skin, mood swings, even periods??

just wondered, i have a job at maccys so for three weeks now i have been having about 5 or six mcdonalds a week from a mcdonalds about every two weeks even once a month?!

definitely! did you watch super size me? if not, watch it and you'll soon cut down on your macdonalds intake! you need to up your fruit and veg and water consumption, otherwise pretty soon you're going to start feeling lethargic, lazy, your skin will go sallow and you'll grow another head (ok, that last bit isn't true)

Saw the programme. A real eye-opener for those who didn't already know. McDs have just had to make a massive payout in the USA for failing to stop using hydrogenated fats as they promised. When you consume trans fat, it takes 51 days for your body to metabolize half of it. It's is basically a plastic. We but nothing containing hydrogenated fat, or, worse still, partially hydrogenated.

Typo. Should have read 'we buy'.

Absolutely!!  I actually noticed a huge difference in changing my diet the other way round though. I went raw about 3 months ago (well 90% raw) and I cant tell you the difference. Ive already lost about 20lbs and reached my ideal weight, my skin is looking better than ever, I sleep better, I no longer have any mucus and my mind is sharper. Once during this period I went the chippie and felt absolutely crap afterwards. It has been interesting to say the least!
