What do you do when you eat junk food?

Not OP, but this is a health and fitness site. I would assume most people here make it a priority to eat well and avoid the junk.

Otherwise nothing.

It’s August mist of the US could use a detox,

How do you detox? Tea? Fasting?

Fruit, veggies and < 4 oz or organic chicken or fish, non-dairy milk, egg white.

No dairy, no processed food. Maybe a sweet potato.

I might drink a a few juices or a smoothie

No caffeine

I like tea or hot water and ginger.

I might try to balance it out a little with a salad for dinner. But your body doesn't need to "detox," fast food is not a toxin.

I would get some long-term therapy for my disordered eating, so I could eat the occasional unhealthy meal and not freak out about it. Speaking from experience. It is so much better on the other side, trust me!

Best of luck to you.

Luckily, I have internal organs so I go about my day knowing I’ll be fine.

I don’t detox. But I do pray, self flagellate, donate to organic farmers, and cry a bit. It helps.

Go over to that gymnastics snack thread on Elementary Parents and witness the parenting behaviors of those with unhealthy relationships with food. It's painful.

OP here. I had a chick-fil a sandwich and fries.

If your whole system is thrown off-kilter because of one salty chicken sandwich and some tasteless bland waffle fries, you should see a doctor.

I never overeat or eat junk food for more than one day. The next day I regroup, eat clean, cut carbs, drink water, work out. This is how I've been able to maintain my same weight for the last 30 years, including through menopause.

I drink a can of coconut water and call it a day for food. That's my diuretic.

Stop the disordered eating. Food is food. No need to detox after a more calorie dense meal. Eat, enjoy, move on. It’s all about balance.

Fat, grease, and salt give me diarrhea. How does one enjoy diarrhea?

Eat clean.
