unhealthfully
In sickening ways
Unhealthfully is an adverb describing actions done in a way that is harmful to health or well-being.
It modifies verbs to indicate that something is being done in an unhealthy manner: She had been eating unhealthfully for years before changing her diet.
While grammatically correct, it's somewhat awkward and often avoided in favor of constructions like "in an unhealthy way" or simply the adjective unhealthy.
