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.

food. day 1.

-- green shake, modified (as described above)
-- glass of green kamut (wheatgrass juice)
-- handful of raw trail mix (< 1/4 c); goji berries, almonds, mulberries, apricots
-- salad with lettuce, spinach, green beans, sunflower sprouts (yum!) and tempeh (1/4 package)
-- 1 clementine and another small handful of raw trail mix (1/8 c)
-- 1/4 package of tempeh (2 oz)
-- mrs. may's trio bar, cranberry variety. Costco was out of larabars and this bar seemed raw enough to me. According to the label: cashews, almonds, pistachios, cranberries, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dates, raisins, rice malt, cane juice and sea salt. Rice malt may be questionable, but if I plan to keep up with my gym routine I really need some portable calories.
-- 1 banana with almond butter (2T), couple pieces of dried fruit
-- couple of bites of the raw hummus I prepared for tomorrow

I went to the gym for about an hour and I was completely nauseous for the rest of the evening. I'm not sure if it was the result of working out really hard or just not eating a whole lot, or a combination of the two. In any event, I stocked up on raw supplies tonight, so I am all set for tomorrow!
