and fast/junk food becomes unpalatable to think about. it would be like how a starving person would look at a gigantic fudge sundae. it would kill them from overload, and would taste, bad.

funny thing is, i was working as a waiter at a steakhouse, and i could get potatoes on the house most days, so during the slow part of the shift, i'd read a book while i chowed down on a hand potato.

as is in many restaurants in the midwest, most of the cooks were mexicans, and most were super fun and friendly. one of the fun cooks who was morbidly obese would come up to me when he saw me eating potatoes and tell me that "potatoes are bad for you. they make you gain weight"

meanwhile i had been doing the diet for like three months, and had lost about 30 lbs, and i cant reiterate enough, i had more energy than i had had in years.

the only bad part about this story is that i lost weight *too* quickly, and presumably that rapid weight loss led to me getting gallstones, which was something i can only place in the D tier of human experience*

at the time i would have placed it in the F tier, but after my gallbladder was removed i developed severe acute pancreatitis from a retained gallstone in my bile duct, which was over twice as painful as gallstones. i couldnt even stand up for them to take my BP at the ER
