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.

1 week down: an update from pq.

As I mentioned, the last two days have been pretty good. While the bloating/fullness rage on, I'm apparently done with the headaches. I still have little interest in cooked food, but as you'll see below, I've really developed quite the appetite for rawness.

Day 6:
-6-grain wannabe bar
-1/2c coconut
-2 celery stalks
-1T almond butter
-mango, banana, etc smoothie (from Cheetah)
-1/2 avocado
-1/4c pico de gallo (questionably old, but still tasty)
-1 dolma
-1 pizza square
-1 cinnamon girl
-1/2 piece of Karyn's mint carob cake (this was pretty old too, good thing raw lasts forever...)

Day 7:
-1/2c coconut
-spirulina/cashew rawvolution bar
-1 dolma
-1 pizza square
-1/2c guacamole
-3 carrots
-2 celery stalks
-2 cinnamon girls

I laid off the evening dose of psyllium, bentonite and fenugreek on
day seven since we took the herbal explosion pills. Still nothing
exciting by the way. I did some totally rawsome food prep today, so I
should be eating well the next few days. I'm totally over eating out
for a while, but we should still plan to do Sultan's at some point,
and I want to try the other raw plate at Karyn's cooked. I also want
that hemp ice cream! I love raw.
