How long before your body reflects how bad you've been eating?

[JesseJB]

After a day or two of eating junk food (beer, pizza, etc) can and breaking your diet and not exercising, can you guys tell the difference in the mirror the next day?

 

[Dakota rube]

^That depends.
Is the mirror on the bottom of your toilet bowl?

If so, then I'd say, yep.

 

[nootje]

after 10 years with a diet in which the main was pizza, nothing out of the ordinary here

offcourse you have to do some sports though

If it's only one day, you won't see much effect

I thought so. I can totally tell the Monday morning after a weekend of **** food. My pants will be much tighter in the waist and Ill have this new layer of soft flab. No wearing Julian Red jeans for days after that.

I think you can feel, not see, some minor difference in a day. I'm I'm out drinking and eating tapas, I will wake up with a bloated stomach. If I have a clean meal, I will wake up with a flat stomach and feel light.

Personally, after about a week of living excessively, I will experience some tightness.

+1 a week of excess is all it takes for me to feel my pants snug up. Thankfully I seem to be able to correct it with only a few days of eating super clean diet of green veggies, lean protien and nothing to drink but 4 litres of water each day.

I'd say after 3 days I start to feel it and soon after start to look it. I think the effects started to show up more quickly after graduating college.

It depends. It could take years. We'll have to look at Michael Phelps in a few years and see how ti goes.

It takes about a week of bad eating before my body starts to show signs of pudge (and that's if I'm not doing anything active at all). I usually notice because my stomach gets noticeably more round.

a few weeks for me. When I broke my hand a couple months back, I had a month of inertia while I was in the cast, and that month coincided with New Years and then a boys trip to Thailand, where clean living was not a priority. Gained 4 kilos in a month and looked pudgy around the gut.

about 3 days, life isn't fair

20 minutes dude, 20 minutes after a bad meal I start to feel ****, it's mostly psychological but the **** feeling is prompt.

 

[robertorex]

i'd say it's about five days to a week for me

 

[JesseJB]

When you eat a ****** meal, does the fat get deposited right away with digestion or is it something that takes a long time for your body to process? I suppose I could Wikipedia that but Im lazy.
