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.

lemonade updates from pq.

mc day 2.

Well, I've made it to the end of day two. I'm actually feeling pretty great right at this moment. Both yesterday and today I kept really busy. I think that might be the key to MC success. Last night/this morning I was exhausted, but by about noon today I was feeling normal. So far no headaches or anything. My best guess is that I am already mostly detoxed. I did the Senna on the night of day 14 and the full 32oz of salt water the next morning. Nothing happened. I skipped the tea last night, and didn't do the salt this morning either. However, I just downed two cups of senna. I am determined to get results. If the tea is a go, I'll consider the salt in the morning.

I'm not hungry, but food sounds really good. I'm trying to stay focused on raw food fantasies though. I would like to do at least another few weeks or so on the raw. I'm not sure how long the MC will last. Ten days seems like a stretch, but so far there is no compelling reason to call it quits any sooner than that. I just foresee myself getting really bored. I'll keep you posted.

mc day 4.

Yesterday I ordered a few food books; I'm thinking macrobiotic might be the path for me. Brown rice and greens please! For now it is still just the lemon water. I did finally acquire a taste for it. I like it warm the best. I haven't been completely perfect, there have been a few cups of tea and such, but I've definitely been 99%. I did that double dose of senna the other night and it hit the spot. I haven't done the salt or the senna again.

I continue to feel pretty good, maybe just a little spacey. Also, I need far less sleep apparently. As I predicted just a day ago, I am totally bored. I'm thinking five days of this would be a great accomplishment, but I know there will be that let down once I stop. I am not looking forward to that, so for now, I soldier on.
