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.

day 5.

I fell (or should I say dived?) off the wagon in a major way. I had a client lunch at Lula Cafe this afternoon and as soon as I walked in the door I had completely forgotten about this semi-detox I've been doing for the last 4 and a half days. Seriously, I plunged right into the menu without ever even looking at the salads. As soon as we ordered appetizers I had come to my senses, but since it was already too late and I went with it. I'm scared to posted what I ate but I'll give you a snapshot:

--peanut noodles with tofu, raw cucumbers, picked onions, and alfalfa sprouts. I ate very little of the actual noodles and stuck to the tofu and veggies
--quesadilla with goat cheese and shitake mushrooms. This was really good. I ate more than I should have but it was worth it.
--eggs benedict with brussel sprouts, potatoes, and who-knows-what-else. I didn't even attempt to damage control at this point.

Okay, okay, I also had a chai. With soy. GUILTY!

I'm back at it as of 1pm.

--half of an orange
--half of a grapefruit
--a large heirloom tomato, with some salt
--1/4 c curried chickpeas, a banana with almond butter, 1/2 - 3/4 c leftover slaw
--a couple of pieces of dried fruit
