Could It Be Just Psychological ?

Yesterday , my officemate and I had our office driver , bought us a kilo of lechon belly . As some are familiar with my posts , lechon is a roasted whole pig with the skin so crispy , with a picture I attached herewith.
But this lechon belly from Cebu , we haven’t tried yet , so we bought a kilo and divided the pieces into two and I ate mine at lunch time . My officemate ate hers last night since she had a brunch before lunchtime .
After eating the lechon belly , in a little while I felt dizzy .
I was scared and had the company nurse take my Blood Pressure . It was normal though ; 110 / 70 .
So I was thinking my cholesterol might have crept up above the normal. So I drank green tea and sniffed my White Flower embrocation .
After a while , I wasn’t feeling dizzy anymore .
My officemate and I was laughing for buying that fatty lechon belly . But at least we were able to taste for ourselves how delicious it is .
But my feeling dizzy after eating that fatty lechon belly , could it be just psychological because I don’t eat ever the fat of the pork since I know it is bad for the health ?
Your thoughts please . . . .

I don't know if you drank while you were eating or it had to much salt to it but pork tends to make people act weird eating it and especially since you haven't eaten it for awhile.

Yes, it has to be the thoughts. If you are mentally presuming that something is bad, and still consume it, the body reacts differently. Once I was bitten by a snake, and I was being told repeatedly that all snakes are not poisonous, until they got me to the doctors. Later, I came to know that though this is a fact that not all snakes are poisonous, it is also a fact that many a times it is the scare that plays things bad.

Precisely . The thought of the scary side effect is what i thought to have caused me to be dizzy !
It's a good thing the snake that bit you wasn't a poisonous one .

I doubt if it was that the flow of blood to your brain was scant for a moment then ,because your blood pressure is on the low side and that when you had your meal.Normally people feel sleepy after meals .

Yes, i could be that too . But i think now that it was really a psychological one since my officemate didn't feel that way , when she even is taking a maintenance for her high BP and cholesterol.
But i am glad it scared me so next time i will not eat that dish again.

Oh well, it could be psychological. If you could enjoy it with no worry, perhaps it will be better. Mind also become reality

I think it could be psychological. Some of the time if we churn too much of the negative thoughts then the body puts us in the hibernation mode. this is depressing mode where people react at you all the time. I can tell you that it is harder to get out of it unless you work on this. so make sure you go out often and meet new people else this sort of headache and fatigue often leads to stress.

That's what i was thinking , that it was psychological . Actually , i don't often get headaches . As to feeling dizzy , i do sometimes, specially nowadays that i am having insomnia and the lack of sleep makes me feel dizzy .

See , just because you are not a meat eater , you feel nauseous . I really think it's psychological because while eating it and seeing that it's fatty , i was already scared .

Wait... let me wipe off the drool off my face... heheh..
Anyways, it could be your system is just not used to amount of fat you have eaten at that time. Or it could be that you were already so hungry and ate too fast.

I think it's the first reason you said. And while eating i was scared it might elevate my cholesterol since it's sometime elevated ..

I think i agree with you there . But psychological or not , at least i have tasted the dish already and won't be craving for it anymore.

Wow this makes me so hungry and want some of this, do you still have some, share to me please if not later i will keep dreaming to eat food like this. Haha i think it just your feelings or psychology. Maybe the weather are too hot also can cause your dizziness. The pork not so bad health just don't over eating like every days pork. Just need to be balance diet i think so.

Oh if only i can send you some through email. But i assure you that lechon is so delicious .
Yes, i eat pork every other day , but no fats . I guess , eating the fat that time scared me so it made me dizzy psychologically.

The pork fat was probably the culprit. They are not healthy at all. Maybe it raised your cholesterol level somehow causing the dizziness. It's funny to know that you are as well using White Flower embrocation, lol! I use it a lot and always carry one with me all the time.

Precisely , that was what in my mind while eating it with the fat and all - it might raise my cholesterol .
Oh the white flower ? I always have it in my bag and it's so useful to me . So you too ! They say it 's the old people's way . But I don't care , because i like it since it helps a lot during some minor ailments and itches .

It's not psychological. Your body is making adjustments as a result of your dietary changes.
