Did you go double-fry on that chicken? Maybe you dunked it in creamy sauce until it was swimming. Your stomach isn’t a bottomless pool; it’s more like a cramped swimming lane.
Fat takes forever to digest, especially compared to veggies or grains. So if you ate a fatty piece of skin or a heavy sauce, your stomach might just shrug and say, “Nah, I’m clocking out.” It’s like trying to push a boulder up a hill after running a marathon.
Rhetorical question: Have you ever tried to run a marathon with a Thanksgiving turkey in your belly? Exactly. Your body starts to rebel because it’s overwhelmed. That queasy feeling is just the “system overload” warning.
