Rejection.
Sunday, August 24th, 2008After a solid week of hard workouts and clean eating, my body has decided to take the no bullshit route and reject any and all junk food. Completely.
I didn’t realize it at first and just blew it off as a stomach bug. But after the fourth trip to the bathroom, on my free day, it slowly dawned on me. So I began to experiment. Egg whites, turkey bacon, whole wheat pita? Fine. Pancakes with syrup? Not so fine. Baked chicken and vegetables? Fine. Pizza with bacon? Oh HELL no!
This decision to change my body has not been the first. In fact, I’ve honestly lost count. However this time around something clicked, and my desire to succeed has practically eliminated any food cravings. So despite the lack of cravings I went ahead and gave myself a free day…and made my discovery.
It may be something as simple as undiagnosed food allergies brought to light by a cleaner diet. But I’m wondering if there could be more to this. Can you subconsciously rewire yourself? Or is it a matter of unlearning years of bad habits?
Can you teach your body to hate junk food?
