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.

Nano, an introduction.

Since we've got some new players on board, I'd like to get started with a bit of background information. First, let's meet Nano. Nano is the most experienced of our newbies and loves a challenge. Here's what she had to say for herself:


I’ve done cleanses before. I did one that was a week long, mostly raw with a bunch of supplements from GNC. That was pretty decent. I also drink senna tea when I feel sluggish. That stuff works like a champ!

My biggest vice is chips. I LOVE CHIPS. Love love love them.

Here starts my over sharing… I am very very regular. I sorta freak out if I’m not, hence the senna tea and other home remedies…

I think my colon is probably a 7 (on a scale of 1-10). I eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies and avoid processed stuff, but can’t avoid chips. Oprah taught me that healthy “stuff” was supposed to look S shaped and mine mostly does.

My goals are to lose a little weight, and getting healthier skin. I feel like I my skin looks like shit lately. And I LOVE a challenge.

I am not going to weigh myself. Don’t own a scale, but I’ve got many clothes to use as a barometer. If I can get back into a certain few pairs of pants and a skirt I will be over the moon.
