Anyone else who celebrated July 4, with foods they don't normally eat on Peat, feel like utter crap today?
I had foods I normally don't eat and many times higher PUFA than normal because it's a special occasion. Over the course of the day (2 cookouts), I had 2 hotdogs on buns, pasta salad, baked beans, 2 ears corn (with margarine -no butter or coconut oil available), and more things I don't normally eat, interspersed with things I do, such as coffee, sugar, salt, gelatin, saturated fats, fruit, ice cream, a little soda, etc.
Yesterday I had three out of the ordinary brain moments, sort of surreal things that were unsettling. Overall my mood the whole day was positive and cheerful, out-going.
I didn't sleep particularly well, but that may have been because I wasn't in my own bed. I woke up this morning feeling so weird/bad, and it persisted for about 10 hours.
I felt like real carp. A "drugged" sleepy feeling...feeling like I'm heavy as lead and could sink into the floor...lethargy... mild depression and anxiety...aches...brain fog...little appetite...
What in the world? Is it a reaction to those foods affecting seratonin, PUFAs, or what else? Is it related to being pre-menstrual?
Anyone care to help me figure it out? It might help others too who are going through similar things.
Also, maybe there's something I can take next holiday for a preventative to help lessen the negative effect of those occasional foods.
