As I've been changing my style of eating, I've learned a few things about my body and what works well for me.

  • My body does not respond well to sugar alcohols — xylitol and erythritol seem to be a no-go for me (Max Honey Marshmallows, I'm looking at you): stomach cramping, bloating, and more bathroom trips than I care to admit.
  • As much as I love a good salty tomato, too much salt just leads to water retention.
  • Picking up fast food sounds easy enough, but the aftermath ruins the next day just like sugar alcohols do, plus some fatigue and a general ick.
