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.

pysllium: a gateway supplement

so, pq pointed out that while doing a cleanse, one is not supposed to graze. instead, the idea is to eat "well-spaced" meals to give your digestive system a break and free your body up to take care of other things. i guess your insides are doing over-time if you constantly snack the way i usually do. anyway, i did try this today and i didn't die of starvation. in fact, i think i did alright.

here's what i ate, by meal:
-green shake (9am)
-2 c. raw slaw; 7 almonds (noon)
-1c, raw slaw (3pm)
-tomato stuffed with avocado, sprouts, pecans, celery, pine nuts; spinach salad with beets, carrots and tomatoes (630)
-alliance bar (note: not to be confused with a filter bar. we'll get into this more later) (830)

big news: i finally had my first psyllium poop today!

bigger news: pq and i took something "a little harder" today, courtesy of l. it's some kind of herbal laxative that even our seasoned vet can't handle. how will we fare? give us 8-12 hours and we'll let you know. we synchronized our pill popping (which tasted like gross pizza going down) so it will be interesting to see who will have something to report first. anyone want to start a pool?
