Body's reaction to a cheat meal

[poysyn]

If you've been eating very clean for a good while, the sudden consumption of all those carbs and heavy fats would cause a rapid decrease in your metabolic rate, resulting in a feeling of sluggishness and fatigue. By the time you get this, you'll probably be feeling better. Anytime that you go for a cheat meal, depending on what and how much of it you eat, it will slow you down, but if you continue to eat clean, your body will purge itself of that cheat meal and it's effects in about 24 hours or so. Happens to me every week on Saturday when I go to cheat on my nutrition.

I don't follow. This is the first time I have ever heard/read anything about eating 'unclean' would cause a decrease in metabolism..you have the link to where you read that?

There isn't any specific website where I read it. It's just one of many things I've learned about nutrition in the past three years.

To expand on what I was saying, anytime you eat a large meal your body has to work harder to digest, and in that process, one's metabolic rate decreases. That being said, the heavier the meal the more it slows down one's metabolism.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that that is the only possibility. I'm just saying, in my opinion, that's the most likely possibility, especially when considering the effect glucose has on the metabolic rate once it gets into the blood stream.

i dont know about that one....i got to school for nutrition and i have YET to hear that one. More food = your body has to maintain homeostasis. More food = More surface area for your digestive enzymes to work on....

I always felt like it SPEEDs up the metabolism, i get hot, sweaty, clammy when i eat a big cheat meal. Never really feel sluggish unless its just TOO much FOOD for the stomach to handle.

I think the slugguinesh is caused by the insulin spike no?
I feel like mike when I eat cheat meals: excessively hot. Nonetheless, when I eat an extremely carb-filled meal (such as a huge bowl of pasta etc) I usually feel very sleepy afterwards, due to insulin spike.
