I drank a ton (bourbon and wine) and ate good amount of sugar (damn gluten free treats). A little bit of back acne and a little bit of tension followed (plus a mild hangover one night). All expected, all treated resolved themselves quickly with some smart supplementation and hydrotherapy (ie taking a bath). A weird outlier side effect has been a decreased appetizer these following days. I'm currently sitting staring at an unfinished four egg omelet. The hypothalamus is telling me not to finish it but screw him! It's mine.
UPDATE/EDIT/Slash something I just read: I was reading 4 Hour Body and Ferris had another neat hack for getting over binges. He recommends a binge day as a part of his slow carb diet. The part of his binge day that caught my eye was "gastric emptying." He doesn't care about the quality of the food on the binge day so he doesn't care if it gets digested; he just wants to keep metabolism spiked. Since the food is crap he wants to crap it out ASAP. To do this he recommends taking diuretics like yerba mate and coffee (looking for a level of 100-200mg of caffeine; he weighed his poo to make sure mate sped digestion. It did.) Regularly scheduled binge days aren't my thing but this is a good step to help minimize damage when accidental binge days occur.
