drinking the green kool-aid

Green kool-aid is how I like to describe the cult-like experience of raw food, or really any crazy diet. People always seem half-fascinated and half-horrified by my commitment to cleaning my colon, so I thought I'd share my experiences in excruciating detail. As with any train wreck, it's hard to look away. Nonetheless, I've managed to pick up some comrades along the way, as a result of my dear friends' curiosity and solidarity. Others interested in drinking the green kool-aid, holla.

green foam

i'm in better spirits today and ready to tackle this thing whole hog. i picked up the vast majority of the supplies last night so it's time to jump in. my psyllium/bentonitite coctail went a little bit better this morning (yes, you really do this TWICE a day). i decreased the amount of clay and chugged it as fast as i could. instead of the hardened gray sludge of last night it was more like the texture of very thick snot. i'm sorry i'm making you read about this, but at least you're not drinking it.

after waiting 30 minutes for my coctail to settle, i popped some fenugreek capsules and went to work on my breakfast drink. this must be consumed before any other food. unfortunately, i didn't have all of the necessary ingredients, so i had to improvise a little replacing the prescribed banana and apple juice with some orange juice and raspberries. also included:
  • flax oil - for omega 3's, fiber, and other stuff
  • lecithin granules - for texture, and to help repair cells
  • green meal - this is esssentially algae, kinda gross, but not too bad
i think the addition of the fruit makes it taste less "green" and all in all this drink is tremendously more tolerable than struggling with bentonite. tomorrow i should have some bananas/apple juice and i dare say i am looking forward to it.
