After eating whole foods for a few days, the speaker feels energetic and less puffy. A weekend of processed foods and sweets leaves him sluggish and visibly swollen for two days. He realized that without sticking to whole foods, he won't get the body and energy he wants.
when I eat whole foods, mostly whole foods, I just feel amazing and everything starts to tighten up. And then as soon as I drift away from whole foods and eat poor foods, processed foods, you know, sweets and chocolates, I just tend to feel sluggish. I tend to feel lower energy and I start to look puffy. And literally this is like a 48-hour thing. If I have a weekend binge session where I'm eating crappy foods, I would finish Sunday just feeling sluggish and looking puffy. And then Monday and Tuesday eating mostly whole foods, it just goes away and I feel way more energetic. Of course, it's better for me from a health perspective. And again, I just— everything just starts to tighten up and I look less puffy. So I think I just had this realization towards the end of May that if I don't get this into a good place, I'm never really going to look and feel how I ultimately want to do, how I want to be.
