Since we started to follow the Whole30 diet*, we both have slept much better. I think it is linked to the weight loss** and not having all that bad food.
The days were we fall off the wagon, other than also feeling crap - stomach upset, lack of energy, somewhat like coming down with a bug - we both don't sleep well at all.
Going out to enjoy a meal is rather limited on choice now. Peli suffer more than me, but she used to react to a glass of coke and other sugary things before we followed the whole30. Indian and Fish'n'Chips we have found that we both can enjoy without suffering after.
Thai and Chinese is totally off the menu, went out and had a lovely meal on our anniversary at a local Cantonese. Half way tru' Peli started to feel it, I started to feel it when walking home. We both just flopped on the sofa that evening and the next day both of us were totally drained. I felt like I was about to have a backlash to the three years I was sick (CFS/ME, if it was?!?!).
Going for some pub grub, again the menu is utterly narrowed down, if it is a sweet meal, got wheat in it, desserts totally off etc. So often Peli is down to Fish'n'Chips, which do become a bit boring to a have every time we go out.
Pizza, pasta and so I can go on is off, we used to go out and enjoy food like that, but since we have cut sugar so much and other stuff, we can't. Lucky Peli is a wicked cook so we are not starving.

** I have woken up fewer times with a bad lower back. And when I gained some weight this spring the lower back and hip pain came back.
